REally well done--what I like about this blog is that the recommendations are short videos. I watched them all and I LOVE The Educational Change Challenge and the Kevin Honeycutt video.

Very interesting article. I am always wondering what the future will bring. What I love about Khan's approach is that he teachers in ten minute increments. I SOOOOOO believe in less is more.

I know what you're saying about correct content, but as someone interested in philosophy, i ask, What is correct? I know he does a lot of math/science stuff, I guess that is a bit more black and white but when you are presenting theory, so much is left to the interpretation of the instructor. As I meet and talk to more and more fresh graduates of education programs, I am left asking myself the same questions that the critics are posing of this guy--what is the quality and correctness of content they are receiving? Some are very blessed to receive thorough, up-to-date information. Others, not so much. I guess when it comes to teaching and learning, it's a lot like gathering information on the web--you have to know the quality of the source.

Delayed response, but -- as for content, I mean getting a specific philosopher's ideas straight-- if the guy said that Rousseau wanted slavery, I'd just shut him off. That's what I meant by content. If he were to be presenting math/science as he is, he should just make it clear that he has a follow-up video to clarify any misinformed/unclear previous videos.

Love this Sesame Street video! Helps me think about how to teach vocabulary, inferring, Wouldn't this be a cool vocabulary project? Start creating databases of word videos produced by kids...

Thought provoking video on using technology in education

Why you should blog! 1.5 minute video featuring Seth Godin

Outstanding video of Kate DiCamillo speaking about her experiences being a writer and reflecting on her writing process. About 10 minutes long but worth watching.

Although I haven't viewed all the videos, I thought you would find this interesting.

Great summary video of highlights of what children need to become more proficient.

Video of kids sharing favorite titles in attempt to find reading partner

GREAT, MUST WATCH animated video about shifting the educational paradigm.

Summer reading loss video

Fantastic for inspiring the message that we all need to be questioning and considering questions we don't know the answers to as we move forward into the 21st century

THis is a great introductory video for using google docs and understanding the possibilities for using it. Definitely will use in my Teaching in the 21st Century presentation.

Good program. But in order to be effective, I fear that its reach will need to be greater.

If you teach kids who are fans of The Hunger Games, they will appreciate this video featuring the author Suzanne Collins as she talks about her upcoming book Mockingjay

Inspirational video to get us thinking about the difference between teaching and educating.

Another potentially great publishing tool for kids' writing. This video will walk you through it.

Because we all need a good laugh sometimes. Literacy related in a backhanded sort of way.

Learning to think differently. How can this video help teachers rethink what they already know?

Great quotes from Einstein (they go a little fast) but good thinking for the beginning of the school year.
