One of a growing number of quiz apps that are available. Easy to use, but a litte rudimentary in that it only allows you to take a quiz and does not have a study mode. You can review your results and analyze how you are doing which is very cool. Easy to create new quizzes and share, which is good, and you can add images to your quizzes, which is key. I still think I prefer gflash+ for it's flexibility in the study mode but it might be a nice combination of apps for some online quizzing using MC questions.

The debate over digital learning will soon enter a new phase.  No longer will educators debate whether or not digital learning has the capacity to transform the American education system.   Just about gone are the anti-technology Luddites who insist that every classroom be self-contained, with students and teachers left to their own devices, save for the help of pencils, chalk, blackboards and weighty textbooks stuffed into 10 kilo backpacks.
- Roland O'Daniel on 11 Nov 11
  
  I wish I could say I think this vision of education and instruction is a close reality, but I sit in classrooms on a daily basis in which the pen/pencil is ALWAYS the primary tool of the student and use of technology is not part of the vision.

On the one side will be those who propose that most digital learning in K-12 public education be of the “blended” variety, that is, take place within public school classrooms under the tutelage of a highly qualified teacher.

nline” proponents will argue that blended learning alone is not enough.  American education can be transformed only if the power to drive change is placed in the hands of students, who are offered a choice of providers that include not only the blended classroom but also those who offer products  exclusively online, supplementing asymmetric video presentations of online materials with interactive systems that employ such tools as Skype, interactive games, social networking, email communications and phone conversations.

  I guess, I'm one of the proponents that thinks CHOICE is the best option. I don't think school systems have to decide for students but should provide rigorous, well-designed options that students can choose from rather than limit them because of someone else's choice. How often do students sit in a class because they were assigned to a teacher that they know is not as good as another teacher in the department? Why not give the students choice of which teacher they get, or what modality they choose to receive the learning through? Make the bottom line be a rigorous set of assessments that provides some understanding of what the student is able to convey.

For blenders, the keys to the intervention’s apparent success include the use of real-time performance information by qualified teachers, not just the videos and problem sets.
- Roland O'Daniel on 11 Nov 11
  
  I like Sal Kahn's thoughts, but his pedagogy and approach is severely limited. He is using the discrete set of skills approach to teaching mathematics instead of a comprehensive approach that connects and blends different representations. He does not take into account consistent use of vocabulary across all of his videos, doesn't make connections between different skills/videos when students need to understand direct and subtle connnections, and he uses a limited set of models to develop student conceptual understanding. Great speaker, great innovator, limited educator. that said, his use of chunks of information would be well to be modeled by many classroom teachers who spend way too much time in front of the class directing students in what they 'need' to know.

Apparent success, it must be said, because the impact of neither the blended nor the online version of the Khan intervention has yet to be documented by a randomized trial
...

Cancel
Meanwhile, school districts and teacher unions can be expected to fight publicly funded online learning that offers students a choice of taking courses outside their local district school.  If online learning should prove to be more effective than the learning that takes place within classrooms, it would provide a serious challenge to the school district-teacher union duopoly that blended learning does not.

  Important political point! Are teachers, schools, politicians doing what's best for students or what keeps them in power and makes them look good? I don't know, but I am glad to be part of the education process during this period of education.
