    I thought you would be interested in this new app market. I have only looked at few, but I think there may be a bait and switch position for some of these. You have it free for 20 days, but then you have to pay. Time will tell how successful this is.

  • 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)

  •  For one, we are leveraging the computer for what it does best and leveraging the teachers for what they do best.

      Yes,  teachers MUST be in the equation for any technology integration.  The trick now is to get teachers to adopt this new role they must play.
