with thanks to Esther Kustanowitz and ROI120.com

According to an article in the fall education supplement to the NY Jewish Week today’s teachers are not properly wired to be able to relate to and educate Generation Tech. How prepared do you feel?

Take a test of your technoliteracy…

  1. What is a blog? Is there a difference between a website and a blog? Do you know how to find Jewish blogs?
  2. What does web 2.0 mean?
  3. What is Wikipedia?
  4. What is YouTube?
  5. What is Facebook? Is it the same as MySpace and Friendster, or are there differences?
  6. What is iTunes? What is an MP3 player?
