Also, just as we built the highway system to recover from the depression. We should build an information highway system. The internet should be free/tax supported like roads. Why is this not being considered?
Teachers should be tutors that follow kids through school. "text books/lectures" should interactive computer programs that blend videos, links to readings, and lectures. The best of the best should collaborate to make these "text books". If teachers were "tutors" that followed students through their career, every student would then get this kind of attention from someone who knows them personally. Why ignore technology?
only draw back to this idea, though good, is that you only make obvious the gap in peoples abilities. When it comes to children you have ot make sure there is no superiority over others, i find in immature minds the need to dominate to be such a common thing. I'm not teacher but in limited exp of classmates, n even in adults who have not mentally matured yet as well. So the teacher must be cautious as to not set students on tiers of value...or mental abilities.
Interesting concept that I stumbled on to only this week. Thanks for the clear explanation. As an 18-yr veteran teacher recently returning to a HS classroom FT, I look forward to exploring even more, and seeing how this might fit with edmodo.com. Thanks!!
This is amazing this gives any parent who sits with their child and go over home work, an extra edge on kids who are bored in the class rooms. I think its good because if a kid enjoys math and can go further without changing class rooms then thumbs up. I check my kids homework all the time and the majorty of the time is spent teaching them what they should already know from the class. If the video can help one child i dont see the problem. Its a teacher doing more to help teacher and students
The problem with this method is the with the kid who don't want to spend their free time learning when they are already obligated to spend the magority of their day in a classroom. Homework is a time reflection for a child to enforce what has been taught in the class room. This allows failure be at the choice of the student. Eather the student can review what he or she needs to review or take the chance of failing the class.
Thanks for this video. It strikes me that, like so many other good ideas, it is simple. With classrooms now having access to technologies like Kindle Fires, or iPads, I think we can finally become learner-focused in many of the subjects.
Instituting this system without removing the production line mentality of advancement by date of manufacture rather than by mastery learning will create new problems.
There will also be resistance to such a system that empowers the learners to discover and learn at their own pace, which will excel in their own chosen areas of interest once basic knowledge is attained.
I think I would definitely be more interested in learning by watching videos. It'd be like watching Youtube and I wouldn't feel the stress of being in a classroom.
You're hawt.. I wouldn't learn anything if I were a teenage boy in your classroom =O !
But moving on, I'm curious about 2 issues. One would be the student not interested in applying time out of class. There are capable students that treat school like a workday that when they go home, they're just DONE. The second is time. This is the expected college structure of "reading before class" but falling behind snowballs into getting further behind. Both are "what if the student didn't work at home?"
First, what grade level is this classroom? This teacher is kidding herself. Many students, especially in a title I school, will not simply do the assignments. Do you really think that they will watch Math videos instead of playing WOW or watching American Idol? Really? All of your students are engaged? 100% ? LOL, let me come observe your room, and I will pick out 2 within 2 minutes that are not engaged and are talking about someone or something they did last night instead.
@Lasoric actually, yes.one of my kids watches online educational videos to help with homework. One of my kids is bored in class and watches the online math videos on her own to learn more. They rarely choose t.v. during the week, no time. The videos they use have a log-in capacity. You can see if a student watches and you can see if the the student does the exercises and where they struggle.
@pocketlodge Ok watched that video. To see if I understand: is that video saying if they don't do the 'homework' of watching the video they do it in class on their own laptop?
But if they do that they won't be involved in the part where they should now be working with others who have watched that video?
Question: What do you do when kids come to class and didn't do the homework? They can lie and claim they watched it and didn't understand it. Now they will not have been exposed to the concept at all (as that was the homework: to listen to your lecture) and when they come to class they will not be able to do the homework either - so now lecture AND homework doesn't get done (?)
@ForumLight then rules are made to prevent fake excuses, and bureaucracy is created from them on. Next thing you know, a brillian idea becomes a opaque, and critism gets to the top, and finnaly the concept is killed.
Now the problem here is not the concept (that in practicality seem not to work) but rather the bureaucracy that keep putting layers and rules that make things worse
@jasanpahaf Yes, but I'm saying I think the idea is interesting: but what happens when the kids who don't do homework come to class as always claiming they did not do the homework? How do you handle that you now cannot even do what you want to do in class b/c they didn't even watch the video? They spend the time in class watching the video on their own then have to go back to the old model of doing the problems at home to "catch up"? But then they can't watch the new video and so on. ?
Why is there no organized group of teachers to speak for every educator? really no one hears teacher; they're just told what to teach and how to teach it. is it just me or has american schooling taken a turn for the worst?
it's a cute idea but a lot of students have no home computer access, or they take care of siblings while parents work, have sports after school or part time jobs. i see it being much more difficult for students to teach themselves at home with all the distractions than to be taught at school where a slot of time is secured for uninterrupted learning.
@kitkatkitchen Your right on many points, but didn't think enough imo on some. I do agree that this method will not be used in all classrooms till the economy improves, thus freeing up children from jobs, and mothers/fathers from jobs as well so the children don't take care of younger siblings. School sponsored sports, for the most part, require you to do well in school, so sports teams in a way would help enforce there players to learn, as they need to pass to play.
Also, just as we built the highway system to recover from the depression. We should build an information highway system. The internet should be free/tax supported like roads. Why is this not being considered?

Great video. I have a podcast which is an educational podcast that is focused on using Google apps and would love it if you could come on.

What sources for math videos do you recommend?

Forward thinking- but a complete reformation of the education system needs to be in place, for this to be as effective as it is on paper imo
