Khan Academy in the Classroom


  • Everything is free
  • Learning is done by doing
  • The website originated from a mathematics background however it now includes all content areas
  • Encourages flip learning - introduce students to content before the teacher does
  • Relevant for all ages (early childhood to secondary)
  • Collection of videos
  • Students can pause, rewind and re-watch the videos (useful tool)
  • Good way to introduce students to a topic
  • Negative- does not encourage higher order thinking and passive learning
