I subscribe to the Tom Daly
academy and he sent me an email the other day stating:
“I wanted to share something with you that I
found quite inspiring . . .
It was a "60 Minutes" piece on the Khan Academy” and I wish to share this inspiration clip with you.
It was a "60 Minutes" piece on the Khan Academy” and I wish to share this inspiration clip with you.
It is about student engagement
and how we can revolutionise the classroom.
Khan has a website … see link
below.
This
note below has been copied from the website.
A free world-class education for
anyone anywhere.
The Khan Academy is an organization on a mission.
We're a not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by
providing a free world-class education to anyone anywhere.
All of the site's resources are available to
anyone. It doesn't matter if you are a student, teacher, home-schooler,
principal, adult returning to the classroom after 20 years, or a friendly alien
just trying to get a leg up in earthly biology. The Khan Academy's materials
and resources are available to you completely free of charge.
If you watch the YouTube clip Khan Academy: The future of
education.
you’ll discover how collaboration and student engagement
takes place. The teacher is the facilitator.
The learner masters concepts before they move on, they
become excited about their learning and this method takes the passivity out of
the classroom. The teacher is able to track the progress of the learner.
Because the teacher is the facilitator, the teacher is able to use his/her time
more effectively and is able to address the needs of the learner.
