Khan Academy Review

I like the idea of the Khan Academy and have actually began using it in my classroom as a tool for Regents review and credit recovery. I think in the flipped classroom, it could be very useful as a beginning point for the meat and potatoes of the lesson.

I have a couple concerns. The first is students that don't have access to a computer to watch the video, whether it be on a phone or computer. The second concern is their willingness to do the assignment. Now, I'm more worried about the first then the second because if the student won't do the work outside of class, they probably wouldn't have cared enough in class to pay attention anyhow. I am weary of having to reteach individually several times during the practice portion and homework section of content.

I am planning on trying the ted ed lesson with a class and will post once the lesson has been taught.
