If you read my Facebook page on The Teacher Guru, I post a lot of links to articles on technology: uses, apps, flipped classroom, sites, podcasts, IPad uses, etc.
The Khan Academy at www.khanacademy.org is an academic site with over 180,000,000 video lessons! The goal of Khan Academy is to provide education for free, world wide, thus there are lessons that can be viewed by anyone with a computer and the internet on many academic subjects. The videos can be used for initial instruction, or for students for review OR for parents trying to help their kids on a specific math problem or science concept that they have no memory of!!!
Students can get practice, get feedback on how they did on a specific problem or concept, it keeps track of what you have accomplished and keeps track of everything you have learned.
Teachers can have students watch a lesson the night before the lesson will be introduced by the teacher the next day. Teachers can also use the site to have students practice and then see how students have done on a specific problem or concept in order to provide the necessary supports for their students.
Check it out!!!
