    Interesting new tool out of Google. Provides an apparently simple and full featured way to create computer-based learning/tutoring paths. Might be fun to play with at some stage. Questions remain about long term support and the effort required to implement in a classroom setting (accounts for students etc).

      Basically one-on-one teaching...that's what ICTs provide. 
  • A lightbulb went off: Khan realized that remediation—going over and over something that you really ought to already know—is less embarrassing when you can do it privately, with no one watching. Nadia learned faster when she had control over the pace of the lecture. “The worst time to learn something,” he says, “is when someone is standing over your shoulder going, ‘Do you get it?'”

      A good reason for using ICTs in education - that video lectures work better than one-on-one tutoring, for self-paced learning?

  • “Math is the killer,” Gates told me recently. His foundation had researched unemployment and found math to be a significant stumbling block. “If you ask people, ‘Hey, there are these open nursing jobs, why don’t you go and get one?’ math is often the reason they give for not applying,” Gates says. “‘Why didn’t you pass the police exam?’ Math.”
