New Orleans Open House

Plans for our New Orleans Open House are set. We'll be at the Metarie JCC at 8:30 this coming Monday evening, May 3rd. In addition to talking about the program and answering questions, we'll be demonstrating the technology through an interactive session with Mrs. Goldstein in Israel and students in Memphis. See you there!

Birmingham Open House Launches Program

Jconnect officially launched yesterday with our first Open House. Hosted by the Krell family in Birmingham, 9 Middle School students and their parents came out to learn about our program and watch a demonstration of the technology in action.

From the Krell kitchen in Birmingham, these 9 students "sat in class" with two students in Memphis, a teacher in Jerusalem, and a special guest presenter in Tel Aviv. Through the online video conferencing platform, and using nothing more sophisticated than a standard webcam, everyone could see each other, interact with each other, and learn from one another.

The excitement at the end of the presentation was palpable.

Next stop New Orleans, next Monday night...
