An interesting twist on the Khan Academy approach. Why not have students create their own video uploads teaching core content? Check out Lincoln MS, in Santa Monica, where kids are creating their own math teaching videos.
As teacher Eric Marcos puts it, "the best way to learn something is to teach it. I’ve heard kids say that when they were trying to explain how to divide fractions, they knew to flip the number over but they didn’t know why.” Because they were creating a tutorial video, “They found out that they didn’t know why” – and then, naturally, they found out why."
Awesome.
