Khan Academy


Khan Academy logo from website
Khan Academy is used today by students as an excellent resource for learning!! It is a free website that gives students another resource for learning besides the traditional classroom. Once you log in with a username, it will remember all of the work you have accomplished, and helps you build off of it. Many teachers today are having their students use the Khan Academy website. Students today are growing up with technology, and I think it is important that technology is incorporated with their learning!

However, as a Secondary English major, I did not see resources for students studying English. Math, Science, Finance, History, and even Art study materials are available, but not English... Adding English could help students who want to study for ACT or SAT in high school.

Here is a video I found that describes Khan Academy's creater and the possibilities it brings to student learning:
