YouTube - Khan Academy on the Gates Notes - 0 views

  •  
    Sal Khan has been teaching via YouTube for over two years and has Bill and Melinda Gates helping him run his Academy.  This is a great model for instruction which frees up teachers to be me.  Students at  Bullis are watching the videos in advance of class to learn the skill, then come to class to practice.  The teacher spends his time coaching and helping. Advanced students work ahead and do enrichment.

  •  
    This content could be really helpful for a workshop on digital photography. Especially if we're going to be doing any instruction for students using digital cameras and PhotoStory. Going over the "Rule of 3s" and white balance are really powerful before the students start collecting digital images.

    Interesting study about the use of Clickers in the classroom.  This study does not show statistically significant differences between Clickers and Traditional Discussion but the perceptual survey indicates students prefer using the SRS system.
