Online lessons aid teachers, students in classrooms
Massachusetts math teachers in at least two schools are supplementing classroom teaching with video lessons from Khan Academy. School officials say the videos do not replace the teacher, but instead show students how to work through a concept while the teacher circulates around the classroom monitoring students' individual progress. "They're able to get a quicker assessment of where kids are. It also frees them up. Instead of standing at the front of the room lecturing, this way allows students and teachers to interact on a daily basis," said Brett Marcotte, who coordinates the programs at St. Mary's and Quincy Catholic Academy.
