This posting comes from my daughter-in-law in Jerusalem (a very gifted young mother of 4 who has just submitted her doctorate in the field of brain research) and who is now busy with the development of her educational website. At her request I am posting her letter.All queries and information should be addressed to the email below. Yehudit Elgavi Dear teachers, My name is Orit Elgavi - Hershler, and I recently started a non-for-profit Hebrew educational website called "Kita baPita". The idea is to help Israeli teachers open new educational horizons to school children on a much wider variety of topics than is normally taught in schools. The standard curriculum is quite limited and although standardization is important, it is a shame that no additional topics that can get kids "fired up" are included. Therefore, the website presents teachers with small stand-alone activities on a wide variety of topics. Over 12000 people already visited (around 800 a week) and lessons are being downloaded all over Israel.The site is really managing to get teachers and students interested in additional subjects and has the potential to significantly enrich Israeli education. I'm inviting you all to come and visit Kita baPita, and if you like it, please tell your fellow teachers to visit as well! Much of my material comes from English language websites that are often sadly inaccessible to the average Hebrew speaking teacher. I'm also looking for volunteers who would be willing to "scour the web" for truly excellent educational resources and translate one or two activities into Hebrew. If you are interested, please contact me at kitabapita@xxxxxxxxxx Have a great day, and see you at Kita baPita! Orit -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
