Video-based education is
literally changing teacher methodologies and strategies. Khan, speaks of
self-pace learning which is creating a progressive, engaging, and more
individualized student proficiency.
Video technology allows
for the same information in-take, with a technology emphasis, where teachers
can track student progress. This is great for ESOL students because they can
pause, repeat, and review, at their own pace. Teachers can point out key
points, and ideas, which keeps students, on the same page. This combats the
“one-size fits all,” classroom lectures.
My favorite part of the
video, is when Khan, says, he allows the students to watch videos at home, then
“what used to be homework,” he does in-class. This is because, that creates
more incentive for students’ to stay engaged with their class, every kids works
at their own pace. The pro is teachers can see “red,” where they can intervene
with student. The negative, is it could be too much data collection by the
teacher, which can be overwhelming, which I experience in collecting ACE data,
at The Joshua School.
“A global one World
classroom,” is idealistic, because we are still figuring out ways to bridge the
digital divide. So I do not see that in our future, for a long time.
