In this session you will learn about Khan Academy
and how it can be used to supplement your learning.
Khan Academy is a website and also has a mobile app,
where you can watch instructional videos about topics like math,
science, finance, and humanities. To start,
let's go to the website; khanacademy.org. Here you
can see a list of the over 3400 videos Khan Academy
has to offer. They are all organized by topic, so if
you know something particular you would like
to watch a video about, you can simply search for
the topic.
Khan Academy is great for math subjects.
As you can see, they have lots of videos about
ingral calculus alone. You can also practice math
problems in the practice section if you would like.
This diagram shows a chart of all the different math
subjects. Find the subject you are looking for, and
click it for practice problems.
On the left hand side
you can see all the types of problems they
offer, and select which ones you want to practice.
If you know a particular topic you want to study,
but don't know what section it would be under,
you can search for keywords in the search
bar. All of Khan Academy's videos are subtitled,
which also makes it easier to find key subjects.
Let's look for the central limit theorem.
And there you go,
it already pulled up a video about it for me.
*Video Plays* In this video I want to talk about
one of the most fundamental and profound
concepts in statistics, and maybe all of
mathematics, and that's the Central Limit Theorem.
*Video Ends*. As we return to the homepage, note that
Khan Academy has videos in disciplines such as
computer science, history, and art. These may not be
necessary for class but can be fun and useful to
learn about. Let's look at drawing under computer
science.
Here, you can learn how to make computer
animations using programming code. *Video
Plays* It's Winston! Now I know you're probably
looking at him and thinking "what a
masterpiece! The code for this must be so
complicated!" But it's not. *Video Ends*. Now I
will show you how to use Khan Academy on a mobile
device.
The mobile app has all the same video content
as the website.
Press play to start the video. *Video
Plays* plus . 6, plus . 6, times 1. *Video Ends*.
Here you can see the subtitles, or if you want
to watch the video in full screen, press the full
screen button.
If you want to log in to Khan Academy,
you can log in with your google or facebook
account.
Here you can see what videos you have
recently watched, collect badges for watching
videos, and see how many energy points you've
earned.
It is also possible to be a Khan
Academy "coach", and track your students' progress.
You can learn more about this feature on the Kahn
Academy website. Thank you for listening, and have
fun learning at Khan Academy.
