ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

Earlier this year, two YHT 8th graders -- Hannah Goydadosh and Rachel Hanan -- won a grant to develop an app to help students learn Tanach. The grant was funded by the AVI CHAI Foundation and The Jewish Education Project, with the support of UJA Federation of New York. Students in Grades 7-12 proposed technology-based solutions to problems related to teaching and learning Judaic studies, with the best submissions receiving grants. Hannah and Rachel’s app, called T-Help, is a prototype of an iPad app geared towards middle and high school students that will provide summaries of the text, explanations of the pesukim, and shorashim of the individual words. Review games will help students learn and test themselves on the material. T-Help also has a classroom section which allows teachers to customize the work for the student’s individual needs. In this section, teachers will be able to post assignments for students, give tips, and communicate with the students. With the assistance of Mrs. Alissa Ossip, YHT's Educational Technology Specialist, Hannah and Rachel have been hard at work all school year designing the app. They plan to conduct focus groups on the app when the beta version is ready. Yasher koach to Hannah and Rachel. We are so proud of you!
