= Welcome to //תפילה בענן// - Prayer in the Cloud. =

__First things first: What is this?__

תפילה בענן is a dynamic curricular document that is meant to be a platform for educators who wish to create educational experiences, that use digital technology, in order to enhance the learning of תפילה. As a document, this wiki is also in a process of development. In its first stage (now) it is meant to be the site where the 5th grade teaching staff and the Education Directors of Temples Beth David of Palm Beach Gardens, FL.(Conservative) and Beth Torah of Wellington, FL. (Reform), will collaborate to create an experimental 5th grade Hebrew-prayer program, applying educational technology to Jewish education, where appropriate. Ultimately, the site will be come open to the general education community, where together we can crowdsource digital teaching models for prayer.

A wiki is a communal workspace. It's designed for a group of people to work together in creating a project. Curricula is not static. Designing learning experiences is on-going, subject to experimentation, evaluation and sometimes, "going back to the drawing board". It is my hope that this wiki will be an appropriate venue for this creative process.

Each page of the wiki will be devoted to a specific תפילה. You can navigate between pages by clicking on the corresponding link on the right side of the page. In order to take part in this creative process, you do need to be a member of the wiki.
