  • No longer is online learning just reading a module and answering questions — it can now include synchronous or asynchronous discussions and peer-to-peer learning exercises.
  • you can’t take the old model and apply it to a new medium….you need a whole new model of learning
  • “On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction.”

  • Maybe it’s the best teachers taking the best approach, which incorporates the use of online tools to enhance the learning. In the end a good teacher is still needed.

    Four great articles have come to light lately that point to research being done and what many of us in the Ed Tech community have been saying for a long time might just be on the horizon. That is that this technology stuff can improve education.

  • Not only would it provide for deeper, more motivated learning, but a portfolio of meaningful projects is vastly more interesting for a prospective employer than a GPA on a transcript (we know because Khan Academy’s own hiring process cares a lot more about what someone has creatively produced than their GPA).

      Students who are looking for jobs with new innovative companies better stop worrying about their GPA and start thinking much more seriously about what they produce.
  • This liberates the rest of class time for peer tutoring, higher level interactions between teachers and students, and truly creative projects.

      Don't think that Khan, or any other tech tool can ever replace a teacher.  It just changes their job.  
  • We played a variation of freeze tag where we changed the size of the playing field and the number of “freezers”.  Students predicted and observed how the dynamics of the game changed as more freezers were added and the threshold needed to freeze everyone.  They were quick to draw analogies to other areas of science.

    make projects the primary mode of learning (as opposed to something that just complements lectures and exercises)

    Might be an excellent tool for development of the tech plans in the districts!

    Didn't see much here that Google Apps couldn't do for free. With collaborative calendars, shared docs, group chat, collaborative sites that all work together, it's a pretty powerful tool. And when teachers learn to use it better, they will discover more ways to utilize it in the classroom.
