This week I had the chance to attend a training for Khan Academy and implementing it into the classroom. As someone who is very passionate about math I was super excited about this before I even left for the training. All I have to say is that the training was absolutely AMAZING!! Not only did I meet tons of great math and elementary teachers to network with but I took away an energized feeling about Khan Academy and using it as a supplement in the classroom. Not only does this site have tons of math, but there is now science, art history, history, and computer science tutorials as well. At some point, my superintendent would like me to present all of this wonderful information to the teachers I work with. It's very exciting! My two favorite areas include the Vi Hart videos... she's hilarious .. and the LeBron asks section which I can't wait to introduce to my son, he loves LeBron James.So yeah for things that make you feel energized about something that you already love to do... in my case, teaching math!
