Podcast Reflection #9: Salman Khan: Let’s use video to reinvent education.

This podcast was amazing and extremely motivating to me as a future educator. He started out by giving a tutorial and explained that he started doing this for his cousins that were struggling with math and it grew from there. Teachers are even using it in their classrooms and Khan has been making changes to what the teachers say would be beneficial. Now, teachers can easily monitor each and every student's progress in math. They can even see what videos each student watches, how long they watch the videos, what problems they miss, and so much more! I feel this is the best thing that could happen in a classroom, especially if you have a large diverse classroom. Everyone learns in a different way and at a different place and this accommodates for this need without stressing out the teacher and the students. Overall, this is better for everyone. Because it is online, it is also accessible to most students outside of the classroom if they need even more help or want extra practice. There is no wrong doing in using the website that is even FREE!!! This website allows students to move at the own pace. When they are ready to move on they can, without "hurrying" other students in the class or falling behind! This was an awesome idea and I can't wait to use it in my future classroom
