Math Homework from Gary

I got an email from Gary informing you guys of your math homework.
Here is the link to the video



1.) Go to the website TED.com and search for the 17 minute lecture by Conrad Wolfram "Teaching kids real math with computers." Preferably watch it on fullscreen mode with the subtitles in English turned on. Pause it when necessary to write down at least 5 of the main ideas (in your opinion.) Or watch it more than once. I WILL QUIZ THEM ON IT AT OUR NEXT MEETING.
2.) Use wikkipedia to find out who Salman Khan is. (Make sure you find the educator not the actor of the same name.)
3.) Go to the website Khan Academy. Check out the different subjects and topics that are explained there. Choose 1 math topic you have already "learned" and watch the explanation for it. Then choose 1 you will be learning soon and watch it. Then write a few sentences describing your opinion of the website. For example, was it helpful? useful? clear? enjoyable?
Thanks,
Gary
