1. Salman Khan Interview.
1. As I explored the Khan Academy website I really liked the way everything was set up. It's very user friendly and easy to find exactly what you are looking for. There is such a broad amount of topics and things for you to chose from. I can defiantly envision myself using this website.
2. I do believe this is something I would encourage my students in my class to use. They give you the opportunity to even practice questions on the lessons that your learning on. Which is a great tool and it also gives you the chance to take a unit test to test your knowledge from the entire unit to see what you've learned.
3. I do believe that after viewing a couple of the videos on Khan Academy that they are easy to follow and learn from. One video about punctuation I found was intriguing due to the two teachers talking in the video making the video fun, and easy to follow. Another video I noticed the same thing, that it was very easy to take notes and follow along with what was being taught.
2. Daphne Koeller
1. After exploring the Coursera website the course that looks the most interesting to me is Psychology.
2. No, they don't have a partnership with Columbus State.
3. I believe that I would say that Coursera is more challenging than others I've experienced before. I would have to say this because I find it hard sometimes to focus on just one thing and there seems to be so much that goes on with each topic, that I found it a bit hard to concentrate
4. Yes I do think that massive online courses are a wave of the future. I feel like it would affect a student like me in a way where I don't have that much flexibility in my time, having an online course where I can work at my own pace is helpful.

Exploring Standards-Based Lesson Plans
The grade level for this lesson plan is K-2 ( ages 5-8). The subject area is science with a time frame of 50 minutes. The lesson objective states, " Students identify objects that can be observed with their senses and write sentences to support their choices."
The Common Core Standards for this lesson plan were College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Language (K-5): Standard 6- Acquire and use accurately a range of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases. Sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate Independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when encountering an unknown term important to comprehension or expression. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing: Standard 4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the developmental organization, and style are appropriate to task, propose, and audience. Standard 6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
One of the way this lesson meets the standards is in Standard 6 it talks about the use of technology and the Internet. When completing this lesson plan children will open up the website on their tablets or some other kind of electronic device. Which uses technology. Another way that children are meeting these standards is that by completing this assignment they have to write example of each sense, which involves Standard 4. A final example I have of how this lesson plan ties into the use of the standards is that the students get the chance to answer the teachers questions about what they know about each sense.
How I would implement this in my classroom is I would include it in part of my science center in the after school program. This would be great way to tie science with the use of technology into the center at the same time. I believe a part that would pose a problem would be the older children not having that much of an interest in the activity due to this being for an age group of 5-8 years old. In order to help with this problem, I would tweak and change some things in this lesson plan. I would create one that would be more suited for the older children, for them to have an interest in.

DL School Choices
The DL option that I would pick for my child would be OHDELA! First off, their website is very user friendly, welcoming and catching. It's set up in a way which I found was helpful but also not so boring too look at. The very first thing that grabbed my attention was that children have the opportunity to make friends with their peers. Families and children get the chance to even have in person meets through OHDELA field trips and family days. They offer interactive software and live class sessions. The program is set up in a way where it works best to suit the needs of the individual child so that can succeed educationally and personally. I really liked the fact that they offer College Credit Plus which gives the chance for students to earn high school and college credits at the same time by taking courses at local community colleges and universities. National Honor Society is available as well, just like how it is in the schools. Also they offer independent study as an option where the student can work with an academic advisor to create an independent study for course credit.
The DL Option that I would not pick for my child would be the Ohio Virtual Academy. The very first thing that I noticed when I was on their website was that it wasn't attention grabbing for me. The subjects that I found that were offered were art, music, world languages, AP courses, honors, and numerous electives. I liked the fact that world languages and numerous electives were offered but I just wanted some more courses as well to have been added onto that list. Another thing that I wish was offered was the field trip and family days that are offered at OHDELA.
