Cool Tools- Khan Academy

One tool that I find incredibly useful and user friendly is the Khan Academy app and website.  Khan Academy is available to download from iTunes App Store, Google Play, Android, and also able to be accessed online.  Khan Academy offers online videos, examples, and other materials that cover several subject areas. Khan also allows students to earn points and badges along the way and provides instant data to teachers about their students' progress.   

Currently, I utilize Khan Academy for supplemental practice and provide students information to review and gain a deeper understanding of the material in their classes.  Students can also access the videos from home if they need additional help while away from school. I also plan to use Khan Academy during math remediation to provide additional practice materials and to track student progress.  Through the use of Khan Academy, the students can move through the content at their own pace and can focus on what they need to work on.  I feel that Khan's Academy would fall under the modification level of the SAM-R Model when used appropriately as a supplement to instruction.
