Khan Academy is a nonprofit that offers free lessons, videos, and practice exercises in math, science, and more, from kindergarten through early college. Students can learn at their own pace, and teachers can create a free account to assign lessons and track progress. It works well for remote learning because it's available on any device and in dozens of languages, and the free Khan Academy Kids app supports children ages 2-7.

In the Classroom
Share the site with your students in order to access at home for homework help. List this link on your class website. If you are unable to view this site on student computers but You Tube is unblocked for teachers, consider using a projector or interactive whiteboard to show to the whole class. Use your google account to log in once you click on the exercises link. From there, find access to exercises that students can complete that are related to each video. Encourage students to share links to specific videos they find helpful on a "Video Reviews" (yes, that is a pun) page of your class wiki. For a very real challenge, have students create their own simple review videos in the Khan Academy style using FlexClip, reviewed here. FlexClip is designed to allow you to create short animated or explainer videos to share on YouTube and other social media sites, then, upload to SchoolTube, reviewed here, TeacherTube, reviewed here, or YouTube, whichever works best in your school. Embed them on your class wiki for a year-to-year student-made study guide!You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
