Last night, CBS's "60 minutes" broadcast a feature on Khan Academy. With funding from the Gates Foundation, Khan Academy has shifted around the typical learning process: Instruction is done at home (a 15 minute video) and "homework" practice is all done in class. The teacher's role shifts from a lecturer to a coach.
There are no textbooks. Students are actively engaged in learning. And students can work at their own pace to master concepts before moving on. Several California school districts have piloted the Khan Academy programs. Acheivement has improved across the board.
After years & years & years of doing the "Stand & Deliver" method of teaching, I am open to a completly different way. What are your thoughts?
Google "Khan Academy" to see the website. All video lessons are immediately available and completely free.
