Khan Academy is an online resource with countless tools for teachers to use in and out of the classroom. Khan’s book starts by talking about what would be the beginning of his site. He started out by creating video lessons on YouTube. From videos his ideas started to grow in regard to how we teach children. His idea was that you could have a classroom full of students of all ages and levels. He coupled this idea with the want for incorporation of technology in the classroom. He talked about the importance of using technology regularly as a tool in the classroom and not something that is simply …show more content…

Khan Academy was a process of creating new programs as well as rewriting some that he had already created to make the site all that Khan wanted it to be. Because the content is all online it makes it easier to progress monitor and to be able to connect lessons. The road to creating Khan Academy was not always smooth and there were times where Khan had to change things that he thought were going to work. He put forth a lot of effort to make sure that the Academy would be a resource for teachers. Some of this effort included partnering with schools to test out how well the site accomplished its goals to help further learning for students of all levels and ages. Although Khan believes that his program helps to create a functional classroom environment, he stresses the fact that there is no blanket solution to creating a perfect classroom environment. The Academy basically started off as a problem generator and progressed from there. He emphasizes the importance of active learning. Encouraging students to delve deeper and look further is very important. Access was also an important factor in Khan

He believes that in order to connect with others you have to understand their beliefs, meanings and framework. I agree with his belief that conversation unites people, even when we disagree. I believe that our class on Catholicism and Democracy is a prime example of this. Over the course of our discussions in class we bring up many debates and discussions regarding different thinkers and Catholic teachings. Our class exemplifies how all Americans do not have the same basic moral principles, yet we have some similarities because we are able to function and discuss our ideas in a pleasant manor.

Both concentration and contemplation are crucial to a human being to be able to read at a high level and he feels like the internet is taking those skills away from him. Leaving him with the ability to read a piece of text at the pace of a turtle and in a super low level. However he doesn't feel the internet has only left us with deficits, but has given us some benefits like speed and efficiency giving us the ability to find something in a matter of seconds that once would have taken us days essentially gives us “Maximum speed, Maximum efficiency, and Maximum output”.

The issue of assuring that every student is actively participating in the classroom is a wide concern. However, the issue as to how to fix this is a highly debated topic. We can explore these opposing opinions in two works. While both the articles “The Littlest Schoolhouse” by Ta-Nehisi Coates and “Leave Your Laptops at the Door to my Classroom” by Darren Rosenblum explore how approaches to students’ learning styles can assist in the classroom, “The Littlest Schoolhouse” explores expanding the way students learn through technology while “Leave Your Laptops at the Door to my Classroom” discusses the benefits of banning technology entirely from classes. Both Ta-Nehisi Coates and Rosenblum can agree on at least one thing: The goal of education

The Sanctuary of School is an essay by Linda Barry where she explains how the school system can transform students’ outlooks and possible futures. In this article Barry explains how she faced the struggles of a difficult home life throughout her early school years and how school became a safe place for her to recover. The argument made by Barry here is that school can be a sanctuary for students in difficult home environments because they are provided with a sense of purpose and structure. The importance of teachers is also brought up by Barry because their classrooms can become a nurturing environment for the children who may not have one at home. Barry believes that the education system needs more resources that tap into a child’s creative

The students were excited to use computers anywhere in the school and whenever they could. This book’s similarities and differences are a combination of most of the sources listed above.

It is because that when the word “technology” came up, they probably thought that Donohue was referring to a computer or an iPad (¨Technology Can Benefit Young Children¨). It really is almost the same except that the technology had furthered on into more advanceness and power, making it all different for the teachers who prefer the traditional teaching style than a way that has to do with technology. This is a big leap for some teachers, but they should learn how to stick with this new method. These new methods of teaching can create a better education experience in several different ways, such as providing more training for the brain 's memory process and more enjoyment by different programs that would keep elementary students awake and wanting to learn. Children in k-5 should be exposed to online curriculum because it enhances their learning through the innovative ways of technology, and therefore the government should provide more funding to schools in order to provide elementary students with individual

Schools are the second place after home where students’ behavior and future educational success are shaped. At schools there are many elements or factors that can influence the teaching and learning process that may take place. Rasyid (2012) stated that there are four perennial truths that make the teaching and learning process possible to take place in the classroom. If one of these is not available, there will be no teaching and learning process, though the learning process itself may still take place, they are: (1) Teacher, (2) Students, (3) Material and (4) Context of time and place. All of them are related to one another.
