I am planning to use Khan Academy as part of my teaching strategy. I would appreciate any comment, experience you want to share regarding Khan Academy. Thank you.
Dear Aurea,
Khan Academy is a great resource which is quite popular among teachers, specially in international schools around the world. Although they have started producing videos for almost every subject taught in a school, they are still known for they Math videos. The videos are well-made and are suitable for children of all age groups. However, there are people who disagree with this claim of quality videos.
However, over-reliance on khan academy sometimes leads to over dependence resulting in teachers losing control over the content and the flow of lessons. Teachers need to take utmost care; use khan academy as a resource and still continue teaching the class as they would do normally. Afterall, there has been no reported significant spurt in achievement of students who use khan academy and those who do not.
Thank you Norman for your response. May I ask if it is also possible to upload your own materials in Khan Academy?
Thanks.
No, you can not upload your content. Khan Academy has its own team of content developers. That is what makes their content reliable.
