Khan Academy

I attended a PD ran by the School Library Association on Monday where I found out about many different tools and resources that I'm excited to share with you. My next few posts will cover these and hopefully you find something helpful for you to use.

The first resource that I wanted to share is called Khan Academy which offers free lessons and videos on a huge amount of topics, from Maths to Science to Humanities. Students who use Khan Academy can watch videos on their topic, complete lessons to show their understanding of the topic and also collect badges as they move along in their lessons. Teachers are able to look at an overall summary of their classes performance as a whole or look at a particular student's profile to see where they need further help, or what they are proficient in.

The following is a video which shows how student's can complete the exercises offered by Khan Academy and also how teachers can access their classes or students stats.

For further information it's worth having a look at the Khan Academy's website or at their About Page which explains in more detail how the site works.
