Sal Khan was a hedge fund manager tutoring his cousins through distance learning. He started making them instructional videos to reinforce their learning when he couldn’t be there in person and after a few lessons, his cousins told him that they liked him better on video.
Through the use of video, his cousins could repeat what they didn’t understand without suffering embarrassment, while still having the benefit of their uncle’s warm, approachable demeanor. He started making them videos for a myriad of subjects and envisioned an entire public academy of free lessons delivered via YouTube.
Children with autism naturally gravitate towards computers and online learning where the social and sensory issues of a classroom are eliminated. Although much of the information is advanced, basic arithmetic is offered and affords a perfect way to augment math learning for young children with autism. Older children with autism can find many topics to reinforce classwork, or explore their special interests.
Disabilities or gifted people, some online training was offered to them to make a great progress and has it rights like normal people do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Lady Anne. Sounds like online training can help everyone, not only those with disabilities.
