Online Education

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/20/netflix-founder-acquires-online-education-start-up/

This title really caught my attention. I would LOVE for students to be able to go online and learn for themselves! It would be so cool if I could assign something that students are to do at home on the internet. The founder of Netflicks (who is also a previous math teacher), came up with online games to teach math. My thought- games... really? Games never work in my class! I tried to get on and see what it was about, but learned that it is only for grades 2 and 3. I guess that won't work for me, but maybe someone else could benefit from it.

  1. I checked out some of the games. The voice is really monotone but the graphics are cool. Not free though :(
