Khan Academy, Bringing Creativity to Class Time (by Sal Khan) - 1 views

  • 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).
    • Rob Reynolds
       
      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.
    • Rob Reynolds
       
      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.

Around the Corner-MGuhlin.org: Rumor and Myth - GoogleApps in Education Users (please RT) - 0 views

      The FERPA question
  • I challenge GoogleApps for Education--the organization, not the users--to speak up and share the toll-free number they have for technical support, knowledgeable support staff to respond to questions, and HelpDesk for their GoogleApps
    • Rob Reynolds
       
      This comment does not align with the fact that "helpdesk" models have changed drastically by all software. Perhaps a place for a future business opportunity...? I would say, when it comes to seeking answers for google apps questions, I have always found the answer within a few clicks and searches. There is a good tech support sytem, it just doesn't look and feel the same as the old model.

  • Unreasonable fears should not be an impediment to any technology adoption. Some risk, considered and acceptable, is a part of any change.
  • FERPA compliance is more a task of user behavior rather than infrastructure, and thatthe features within Google Apps allow FERPA compliance.
