Just like with diets and food nutrition we would benefit from considering how we can create digital lifestyles which support our whole wellbeing. There are occasions which we might indulge in some mental candy, we might need to use technology to relax and unwind – but when we use it to cope in a way which distracts us from dealing with the issue, problems arise. Using the word addiction in this conversation stigmatises technology users and the challenges facing parents and educators to effectively integrate technology into both leisure and learning in a balanced way that is tailored to the needs of individuals.

How Khan Academy Is Changing the Rules of Education | WIRED - 0 views
-
Even Khan will acknowledge that he’s not an educational professional; he’s just a nerd who improvised a cool way to teach people things. And for better or worse, this means that he doesn’t have a consistent, comprehensive plan for overhauling school curricula.
-
Pros & cons
-
-
“We’ve always known that one-on-one is the best way to learn, but we’ve never been able to figure out how to do it,” Khan explains
-
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?

He explores the merits and demerits of "echo chambers" -- the fact that it's easier to get stuff done if you exclude those who question all of your axioms
-
A definite problem in networks. People selecting only to make connections with people who agree with them. But it strikes me that creating an echo chamber is the inherent purpose of strategic planning within organisations. Identify the plan and work toward. Anyone who disagrees is frowned upon and excluded.

Does the Khan Academy know how to teach? - The Washington Post - 5 views
-
Gates has called Khan, "the best teacher I've ever seen.
-
An example of some of the large claims being made about Khan Academy that seem to suggest limited understanding of what makes a good teacher?
-
This is an interesting one - how can a teacher be hailed as such, when there is no real interaction (questioning from the student's point of view)? The Khan Academy does have its advantages as a very useful prop to specific lessons and concepts, yet the questions posed by any learner should be equally important if effective learning is to take place. -
I agree Doreen, furthermore, the Khan Academy cannot be used as a stand alone to teaching, yet as a tool to extend understanding or to reteach concepts -
It is a useful tool I agree. Students need to have an understand of a variety of ways/strategies/methods to draw upon in order to gain a full understand of the concepts. -
Interesting to see Bill Gates making a reference to teaching skills. Last I checked he wasn't an expert in education?! -
I don't get why they are making reference to Bill Gates I don't believe he has an understanding of teaching. Although these online library can help with understanding but is it really the way we want education to go online teaching?? -
I belive that the reference to Gates arises from the fact that he's spending a lot of his money attempting to improve schools and universities. That money means that his views on what is good teaching carry significant weight. More so than his qualifications and experience might otherwise warrant.

-
What is more, his videos reveal an ignorance of how we know students learn mathematics.
-
The Khan Academy videos suffer from the poor PCK of the people developing the videos. The core of the argument here.
-
The videos were started to help students who were already learning through the school system and needed more help without having to pay for it. A lot of people are complaining about the videos as alternatives to explicit teaching in the classroom, but aren't they great for what they were originally designed for. -
I don't think the Khan videos are doing any damage...They shouldn't be used as a stand alone, but instead as a supplement for learning, perhaps. -
I think the videos are great as a supplementary activity, it provides a different way to explain something. Good on him for attempting it. -
I like David's comment: videos aren't actually evidence of the Khan academy, just "the poor PCK of the people developing the videos.".

One possible approach to the problem of students using phones in class. Not such a great fan of it and then one of the comments offers the solution that I imagine quite a few students adopting "I'd just put it on an old phone connected to wifi and stick it in my bag. BOOM 24/7 locked phone"
