Salman Khan--TED #13

I love how Kahn thinks about his videos. He knows that they are very useful not just to the people he was teaching, but others as well. I like that students can go back and re-watch, pause, rewind, etc. that would be useful to a student who may other wise be scared to stop and ask questions. I LOVE that he helped the Autistic student and think that he must be finding very unique ways of explaining mathematical ideas. I like that he says his videos remove "one size fits all" lectures. I think it is very beneficial for students to be able to go home and initially learn the lesson and get assistance later with more hands on help in the classroom. I like his analysis to math with bicycle riding. Too many children are not fully being taught some things and are getting left behind when the class moves on, so I think that being able to do and re-do at home until mastery is reached. Then, one can move on so that no gaps are left. Keeping data on each student from the site will also be helpful when teachers are trying to see what students (as a whole or individually) are struggling with and get them help. I think "flipping" the classroom is a very beneficial way of teaching.
