702, Digital Tool Review

6/13/2018

A digital tool, or program that I have tried out is Khan Academy. Khan Academy covers the core subjects in all grade levels. I have used Khan for math. It has all common core standards and teaches students certain skills with videos and other practice problems. When I first started using Khan, I had my students work on skills that they needed practice on in math,  whether it was on grade level, or not. Khan is a great tool for all levels of students.

One thing that I like about Khan,  is that I can monitor individual student's time on task, and how many points they earn. I also can assign specific skills for students to work on and monitor their performance. There are a lot more efficient ways that I can use Khan in my classroom that I have yet to discover. There are reports that I have not mastered, as well as navigating more efficiently throughout all the grade levels  and skills.

Paula,
I have also used Khan Academy for computer programming and economics. I agree the analytics are good, but many of my students find the videos very boring. I have not used the math lessons. How have your students responded to Khan Academy? Do they find it boring as well?
