Lesson 1/ 45 Min
Hi Margarita,
This is the first talk that Sal Khan presented at TED.
https://www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education?language=en
It's very interesting from an educational standpoint, but perhaps we can talk about your curriculum as it concerns songs, rhymes, games, etc.
How do you choose what to include?
1. How did Salman Khan first become involved in making these videos?
2. Sal read the comments below his YouTube videos and was amazed. Why?
3. He says then it "started to dawn on me"... It means he started to realize something. What did he realize?
4. Have you looked at Sal's non-profit website called Khan Academy? Have you signed up for an account?
5. How does Sal say that Khan Academy functions?
6. Some schools have been "flipped" with Khan Academy. This means the have changed their normal routine. How?
7. How are the teachers checking their students' progress?
8. What does Sal say about smart students with gaps in their knowledge?
9. What does Sal say about the pace at which students learn? And, what about the "slow" students?
10. What does Sal say about adult learners?
11. Tell me about Sal's vision for a global classroom.
12. Here is Sal Khan's entry in Wikipedia. I found it interesting and exciting that Google is funding Khan Academy's expansion into many important world languages. What did you find interesting?
