The internet and education - Khan Academy
Over a year ago I wrote about using the internet to supplement education. Recently a Los Altos public school started piloting the use of internet lectures to supplement two 5th grade math classes. Check out the TED talk from the founder of Khan Academy, which provides pre-recorded lecture content (free to anyone on the site).
In the talk, Khan Academy founder Salman Khan quotes a teacher who says:
“We use your videos to flip the classroom. You’ve already given the lectures. So now what we do is… I assign the [video] lectures for homework, and what used to be homework, I now have the students doing in the classroom.”
