LASD and Khan Academy Pilot - 1 views

  • I overheard the following conversation. Student #1:  “Hey, come over here. I just discovered a cheat.” Student #2: “I know that one. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone.” Student #3: “I already know about that one, but look, I think there might be another one.”
  • We have started to group our students based on their individual needs and are modifying our text book instruction to match.
  • achieve a fluid classroom where students are moving between Khan Academy, small group instruction, and project work, with working groups that vary based on each strand.

Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - NYTimes.com - 2 views

  • Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom
  • We pulled our son out of a useless junior high, let him play guitar and video games at home all day, and used an online charter school to teach him ourselves at night
  •  
    It is interesting that the study states this true for adults, yet the picture was of a 9 year old. There is not a lot of data to support that the results of the study is true for most K-12. It is clear that it is generally unsuccessful for the unmotivated or those with limited reading skills. Many have pushed online ed for K-12 credit recovery and GEDs. It has not been successful with most of those students. Using blended models in K-12 has had more success.

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).

      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)
