Using the Khanacademy.org Website

by jack
July 13, 2012

The Khanacademy.org website can be an incredibly helpful learning tool especially for math/science courses. The Khanacademy.org website includes short videos (typically 10 minutes long) on virtually topic on:
•Algebra                    •Chemistry
•Trigonometry           •Physics
•Calculus                   •Biology
•Statistics

It also includes practice problems that will help you develop your skills with specific topics.

Khanacademy.org works best when you make it a part of your daily study routine.

  • Go to class
  • Watch the corresponding Khadacademy videos
  • Do your homework

If you are like many students, you are furiously copying notes during class and not really comprehending what is being taught. Then you try to teach the material to yourself from your notes. This takes a lot of time.

When you use the Khanacademy before you do your homework, you are more likely to absorb what is being taught. A ten minute video can save a lot of time trying to figure out how to do a problem.

One of the advantages of the Khanacademy videos is that you can pause them, go backwards, or go forwards. You can learn at a pace that works for you.

The Khanacademy also has practice problems that you can use to evaluate your comprehension of the material. This is a good way to study for tests.

Finally, the Khanacademy allows you to designate a coach. In some classes, you can use the coach connection to validate your use of the website to gain bonus points..

Testimonials

  • This semester I have made many improvements; one major improvement is keeping track of my assignments on a white board I keep on my wall.  When I get home from class I fill out the assignments I received for that day and do as many of them as I can.  This is very helpful because I don't fall behind on my assignments, and I keep up with homework.  Another improvement is going to my classes.  Before this semester I was lazy and missed far too many classes.  By simply going to my classes, my grades have changed greatly.  I know when homework assignments are due, exam times, and I kmow so much more of the information we learn..
