Computer Use Widespread
in Jewish Schools in Chicago
CHICAGO (JTA) — Ef-
forts to apply computers as
teaching tools in day schools
and supplementary Hebrew
schools in Chicago on a sys-
tematic basis have caused a
marked increase in motiva-
tion and ultimately in stu-
dent learning, particularly
in classes where motivation
had been low.
This is one of the prelimi-
nary findings of a program
involving establishment of
a Morris and Rose Goldman
Computer Department for
Jewish Education, accord-
ing to a report in the 11th
annual roundup of recent
programs in Jewish educa-
tion.

zens of projects, appeared
recently in "The. Pedagogic
Reporter," published in
New York by the Jewish
Education Service of North
America, successor agency
to the American Associa-
tion for Jewish Agency.
The report was pre-
pared by Leonard
Matansky, supervisor in
the Associated Talmud
Torahs o`f Chicago. He
stated thanrt since the in-
ception of the ocmputer
department at the start of
the year, the department
has grown to five times its
original size "and is now
used in all of the Associ-
ated Talmud Torahs day
schools and supplemen-
tary Hebrew schools."
Matansky reported that
the program is coordinated
from the central office and
computer training is pro-
vided to -the teachers, and
that the computers are
being used in classrooms
both "on a one-to-one basis
with the students and as an
additional tool for the
teacher in the classroom."
He declared that the
software programs cover
such topics as Hebrew read-
ing, vocabulary and
grammar; holidays of the
Jewish year; Jewish his-
tory; and Jewish educa-
tional games. He reported
that, in addition, there are
programs that are adapt-
able to any subject.
Noting it was still too
early to provide a com-
plete and comprehensive
evaluation of the com-
puter program in the
Chicago Jewish schools,
Matansky said that the
introduction of computer
assisted instruction had
caused "a marked in-
crease in motivation and
ultimately in student
learning, especially in
classes where motivation
had been low."
He said the coinputer-
assisted teaching also had
"individualized learning
and aided remediation of
slower students" and had
"aided in the presentation of
reviews of Jewish laws, cus-
toms and history in a new
and novel manner."
