ITunes U post #1

I believe that teaching videos such as the videos the Khan Academy posts are very helpful in aiding the learning of many students. I personally have never used videos like this to help me but I wish I knew earlier that there were videos like this out there because these could have been very helpful earlier in my high school career. These videos would have been very helpful for math and would have provided me with the extra help i would of needed instead of paying for a tutor... 

 These videos provide people with the ability to go back and review concepts that they may not have understood which is very helpful while trying to learn a new concept. These videos also help people who learn by visuals such as myself because they receive well drawn demonstrations of how things work and that clears up many questions.  These videos can also be accessed from pretty much anywhere cause they are on youtube which can help people because if they are trying homework and don’t understand it they can use this videos for clarification when there are no teachers around.

These videos are changing the way we learn and it all for the better instead of relying solely on the teacher students are now able to get help all the time not just by the teacher. This will really take learning to a new level because this teaching strategy will begin to be implemented by more and more schools worldwide.

 Overall, I feel that teaching videos like this can really help students in all areas receive more clarification and helps them to become more independent learners. These videos are the future and I can see why after watching one and realizing how helpful and useful they truly are.
