Daily Thoughts 02/11/2013
I took some time to rest this weekend. I had to cancel going to the Book2Camp conference. I also did not read that much. I did finish reading The One World School House by Salman Khan. It is an interesting idea. Salman Khan is coming up with a different approach to education focusing on online learning, mastery, and principles. Most of the focus on his video education site is on science, computing, engineering, and math. Quite a few schools use the video lectures in their classes. An interesting idea which he has is of separating the lecture from the class. People watch a lecture at home, then discuss and do the work in the classroom with other students and the teacher.
