"Humanizing" the learning experience

Students learn at home, at their own pace

Teachers have more time to spend with students with less grading and fewer lectures

Students who are "ahead" can tutor slower students

Less lecturing means more time for social activities

"Flipping" the classroom

Students get the "lecture" at home and do "homework" in class

Allows students to watch video at own pace, rewatch, etc.

Makes curriculum more accessible and automatically differentiates

Can re-watch videos while doing exercises

Eliminates teacher lecturing

Utilizing Khan Academy

Students can watch videos at home, at their own pace

The program tracks metadata for each student

Which questions they got right or wrong

How many times they watched a certain video

How long it took them to complete a question

What "level" they are at

Teachers have more time to work one-on-one with students
