Hello friends,I'm sure many of you have heard of Khan Academy before. If not, it's a free database of thousands of video lessons that include his explanations and a screen-captured video from a digital "whiteboard." Salomon Kahn started off by making the videos for his niece but has now committed full-time to the website.
Anyways, I really liked how he uses such a simple concept, a direct approach using ICT. But, I wondered how someone could utilize that software in their classroom. I would think that if a teacher could get this kind of software onto an iPad and connect wirelessly to the projector, and make a seamless transition, having a fully digital whiteboard at your fingertips but remaining able to move about the room. Students would also be able to collaborate on the document and a digital textbook as a class, as small groups, or just individually.
Those are just a few of my thoughts on how ICT could become more seamlessly integrated and useful.
