Late last year, Khan Academy announced that it would be expanding its faculty beyond just Sal himself.  The first hires, back in October, were SmartHistory's Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker. Today, Khan Academy adds another member to its team: mathematician and "mathemusician" Vi Hart.

 

Hart's math videos are incredibly popular on YouTube, and in them she doodles her way through explanations and lessons about various topics.  Many of these are called "Doodling in math class," which tap into the common notion that math class is boring.  Hart's videos stand as a strong counter-argument (perhaps not to math class being boring) to the idea that math is boring.  Her videos come in a format that's fun and engaging and informative, a rare trio when it comes to educational video materials (sadly).  Her latest video on Fibonacci (posted December 21) has already received over 200,000 views....(continued on hackeducation.com)

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
