Module 2 - assignment 9 - iPad - Khan Academy

Forget your allegiances to Star fleet- - we're gonna embrace Khan academy here, because it really is a fantastic resource for high school classes, especially science ones, but it also runs the risk of being over the top. I downloaded Khan because our Chem AP teacher uses it a lot and I wanted to see the Bio side of it. I love it, and to me it is clear, but my students have a tough time following me in slow motion on the board, much less the pace that a lot of the Khan instructors present it. Of course the benefit to them is they can rewind, jump around ,etc, but many won't take the time to write what the instructor is writing, so I'm still up in the air over it being a very useful tool. I think I want to try it this year on the students I have first semester who will have to wait 4 months until they actually get to take the AP exam in the spring, since I think it could be great review material.
