Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.37,0:00:13.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And hopefully, this will help you to get started Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.40,0:00:14.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather quickly. Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.77,0:00:17.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first piece of advice that we have for you Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.19,0:00:22.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to use Khan Academy in a way that is\Ncompletely supplemental. Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.67,0:00:28.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead of being concerned about having \Na perfect match of a video to a lesson, Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.62,0:00:35.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or, a perfect exercise that matches a lesson,\Nor a standard you are teaching. Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.87,0:00:40.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead, when you get started,\Nhave students use Khan Academy Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.18,0:00:42.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just starting at the top of the Knowledge Map. Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.67,0:00:47.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this way, it requires no prep on your end.\NStudents are immediately feeling Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.91,0:00:53.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,successful in reviewing basic arithmetic\Nand math concepts that are important Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.75,0:00:59.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a strong math foundation. And\Nit's giving you time to get familiar with\N Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.85,0:01:04.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the coach reports and all of the data\Nthat comes through Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.83,0:01:07.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the students' end. Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.15,0:01:11.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second piece of advice we have\Nfor you, is to give the students a routine Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.40,0:01:16.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,amount of time every week, to use\NKhan Academy. And, Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.29,0:01:21.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you are using Khan Academy at school,\Nwhether it's in a learning lab, Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.10,0:01:26.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or stations, or with a mobile card \Nthat you check out a couple times a week, Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.43,0:01:31.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we recommend that the amount of time \Nyou give students is at least 30 minutes. Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.18,0:01:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is because it takes time to turn computers on,\Nto turn them off... and 30 minutes will give Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.60,0:01:45.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,students time to go through those procedures\Nwhile also having time to actually be on Khan Academy. Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.55,0:01:51.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you have a long amount of time -- 45 minutes\Nor an hour -- even better. And we'd also suggest Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.96,0:01:58.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you give students 3-5 times a week\Nto work on Khan Academy. Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.96,0:02:07.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The third piece of advice we have for you,\Nis to set small goals. Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.86,0:02:12.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here we're really thinking about the\Nfirst month of implementation -- Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.86,0:02:18.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-- what should you hope to achieve?\NOne of those small goals that we'd recommend Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.86,0:02:23.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to make sure that all of your tech\Nissues are resolved. Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.49,0:02:38.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In that first month you might realize that\Nyou don't have enough bandwidth, Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.53,0:02:45.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or maybe the connection goes in and out ---\Nall of these technical difficulties can be very Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.83,0:02:47.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,frustrating. Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.16,0:02:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's important within the first month\Nor two months to make sure that Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.63,0:02:53.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those issues are completely resolved. Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.63,0:03:00.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Along those lines, you wanna make sure that\Nyour system and procedures, become efficient\Nand smooth. Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.76,0:03:13.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This means everything from making sure that\Nkids are not tripping over charging coords, and Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.28,0:03:17.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that computers are returned to the right places, Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.06,0:03:25.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that students are really respecting\Nthe technology and using the time effectively. Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.05,0:03:29.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of those systems and procedures\Ntake time to figure out. Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.41,0:03:37.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another small goal that would be good to\Nhave in that first month is to start looking at data. Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.13,0:03:43.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe this means that you choose\Njust one report -- for instance the Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.28,0:03:47.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,progress summary report. To start\Nlooking at every day, every week, Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.10,0:03:53.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to become really familiar with it\Nso that it can start to inform your instruction. Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.90,0:03:59.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finally, in this first month we think it's\Nreasonable to open up time in your classroom Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.76,0:04:02.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for peer-to-peer tutoring. Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.65,0:04:06.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This will probably start to happen\Nnaturally, but we'd just like to Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.08,0:04:09.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,encourage you to allow this to happen\Nin the classroom. Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.98,0:04:14.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a pretty powerful thing to see\Na student -- not only show Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.11,0:04:18.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mastery over a skill -- but be able\Nto prove that mastery by teaching it Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.45,0:04:20.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to another student. Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.30,0:04:26.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, these are all good goals to have\Nfor the first month or so. Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.11,0:04:32.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We would say that these should be amongst\Nyour top priority for this first month -- Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.96,0:04:39.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-- instead of worrying about integration\Ninto the curriculum, or having things work Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.68,0:04:45.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perfectly -- we would say: to start small\Nand to just start, in whatever way, Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.62,0:04:49.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,makes the most sense for you,\Nand your students.
