One to two times a week I have been assigning Khan or Braingenie as homework. Since I have them write questions as they go along I get to see how their question changes as they work or how they figure it out on their own. I asked my students how they felt about the online homework and here is what they said:
"I really like it."
"It lets me know what we are about to do the next day and that helps me get my mind set to ask the questions I really want to ask."
"If I get stuck, it is nice to be able to rewind the movie and listen to the lesson again."
To piggy back off of Friedman's I also like to see who is struggling and am able to direct the discussion in that direction.
Teachers from The Meadows School in Las Vegas reflect on using Khan Academy and other online resources to enhance learning in their classrooms.
