Innovative Ideas That Make Sense for Those Hungry for Math Instruction -
http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/2010/02/innovative-educators-math-dream.html
The attached link to Lisa Nielsen's blog The Innovative Educator asks questions about math we as teachers are asked by our own students. "When will I ever use this?" "Why do I need to know this?" In this article you are introduced to Sal Khan, the innovator for Khan Academy. He started making a couple of Algebra videos for his cousins to better understand concepts in math. Today he has made over 2100 videos in the areas of algebra, basic math, calculus, finance, biology, and many more! Check out both the article and Khan Academy at http://www.khanacademy.org/ (You will need to view the videos at home since they are YouTube videos - sorry.)
