My recent videos (eg on Percent Operations) are intended to be a supplement to what we do in class.<br /><br />I am hoping that my videos will be used by students who didn’t quite ‘get it’ in class, and by those that benefit from seeing something a 2nd (or 3rd or ...) time, and by students who missed one or more lessons, and by students when they are revising for the end-of-term exam. And by parents who would like to help their kids but are a bit rusty on the maths.<br /><br />The nature of such videos is for them to be worked examples similar to questions in the textbook exercise sets. Though down the track I would like to start making some videos that are more open-ended and investigative in their approach.<br /><br />So the original article (and this one) is spot-on when stating that such videos don’t replace the teacher, but supplement what teachers do.<br /><br />My videos can be found at: http://bit.ly/rexboggs<br /><br />I am still working on improving my presentation (and have a long way to go), so feel free to view a few and give me some suggestions.

On the other hand, there seem to be many people suggesting that Khan Academy should essentially be the curriculum.Joshua Zuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689961247338617418noreply@blogger.com
