I just came across an interesting site after reading an article on how professional development may be changing... (The HechingerEd blog keeps me in the loop of all the goings on in the world of education.) This blurb by Sarah Garland caught my eye, so I had to check out the site:
One new program that presenters promoted, LessonSketch,
uses cartoon simulations to demonstrate teaching skills, complete with
thought-bubbles hovering over cartoon-teachers as they instruct
cartoon-students. Unlike in a real classroom, the simulations can offer
“Choose Your Own Adventure” options, where the teacher might make one
choice and face a series of classroom consequences, or make another with
a different set of outcomes.
The site seems to be more user friendly than Kahn Academy, but is limited in topics. If you teach math, or know a struggling student, the site may be worth a visit!
