Khan Acadamey is such a great resource. The video I watched was over subtracting decimals. My video showed how to subtract decimals in different ways. The video was very helpful because it provided many examples on how to subtract decimals. I was constructing a lesson plan over subtracting decimals and I did not know what examples I should use. After watching the video I knew exactly what to do.
I am a visual learner and that video was very helpful because it was showing step by step instructions. I know many students learn visually especially for math and having a video as a reference is very helpful. Students need to be able to see why and how things work and Khan Academy does just that. Being a visual learning, I would reccomend this resource to parents students and other educators. That way they know about it and can use it as well. Coming from a family that did not speak Spanish and my parents could not help me with homework Khan Academy would have been such a great resource for me to use to complete my homework. Many students come from families where English is not thier native language this would help those students when they are at home. Khan Academy provides a visual way to help understand and comprehend lessons.
The connection between Khan Academy and TPACK is the technology usage. TPACK is becoming more common in classrooms with the advancement of technology. Classrooms are being structured to fit technology into lessons. TPACK is a type of guide that helps educators succesfully incorporate technology into their lessons and classroom. Khan Academy is a great technologycal resource to incorporate into the classroom. It is a great website for all ages to use to further comprehend lessons and concepts. Teachers can use Khan Academy to add further explanation into their lessons, to help struggling students, or to give furhter practive to students to master a topic. It can also be used at home if a student is struggling with homework. TPACK and Khan Academy are great resources to incorporate into classrooms.
