Khan Academy

   

Khan Academy is a website/app that provides practice exercises, instructional videos, and a learning dashboard that is personalized for your learning. It motivates learners to study inside and outside of the classroom. They teach all types of subjects ranging from math, science, history, art history, economics and more. They also provide test preparation for the SAT's and LSAT. Khan Academy is also beneficial for parents and teachers as well. It encourages them to understand what their child/student is learning and how they can help them. They are able to see if their child/student is falling behind in work or is excelling in what they're learning. For teachers, Khan Academy provides a dashboard full of summaries on how their class is doing as a whole or they can view individual student profiles that are highly detailed in how the student is doing. Khan Academy is available for many students all over the world. It is also available in 36+ languages so that every student is able to learn language barrier free. You can use Khan Academy on almost any electronic device such as a cellphone, tablet, or computer. What makes Khan Academy so unique is that students are able to gain points for their work. Students who reach a certain amount of points will than go up a level. When a student goes onto to the next level, that is them moving into another section of learning. This point system is a great form of motivation for a learner and will encourage them to keep going.
