Khan Academy Resources


Access to Khan Academy is such an exciting opportunity for our students!  We will surely have more to talk about once students start using it.  One of my favorite things about Khan is the clear video coaching for instruction before questions, but also for "oops, you missed that one, watch this to see if you can figure it out next time"

Need a refresher from Roy's training last month?

Here are his slides (Google Slides) or look at the bottom and flip through. For example, slide 25 shows how to assign a course mastery goal for your students.

For 3rd-8th graders

This is a required asynchronous math task daily and our students math aptitude with reflect their efforts!
If you need a reminder about how to sign into your account whether you already have an account or not, this doc shows the steps. 
(It is the same one you will find on the padlet shared in training. I linked the padlet at the bottom of this post.)

For 2nd graders

It is not required for 2nd grade, but it is an option. And, because we heard from so many teachers who wanted to use this option, THIS JUST IN--- we added 2nd grade to Clever rostering. So, 2nd grade teachers, your roster should be there in Clever for you. That means your class will already be created, if you choose to use it.  To access your account, whether you have already created one or not, this doc shows the steps.

For preschool-1st graders

Khan Academy Kids is an app in Self Service if you choose to have your student use it.  Your students are NOT put into a class for you. You would need to set that up yourself, but it is really easy. You can learn more about Khan Academy Kids on this webpage

The resource padlet

During the August 2020 training, a Padlet was shared that has helpful links for Hueneme teachers.  The training slides (below), the help desk, how to show Khan in Spanish, and more!  You can check it out here:  Hueneme Khan Academy Padlet

I'm not a blogger... yet

How many times have you thought of the things you are not?  I do it more often than I wish I did. So, as I keep wresting with the most efficient way to get answers and share resources, a blog seems to be the thing that makes the most sense.  Sending tech newsletters is good, but it is hard to refer back to.  Answering emails is great, but that means helping one person at a time. Sometimes that is necessary, and I do love email, but maybe pointing you to a blog post will help get all the info you need efficiently-- without the email back and forth conversation. But.... I'm not a blogger.  Yet.  Darn that growth mindset... So, here is my suggestion--- subscribe to the blog and you will get emails when I put up a post.  I promise I will make the post titles clear and not fancy so you will know if it is useful to your or not.  If it is, read it!  If it isn't, delete the email and move on.   Do I know how you subscribe to the blog?  Nope!  Because I'm not a blogger.... right?
