Catwoman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 What is the difference between joining Khan Academy and just watching the videos? I was thinking of having my ds watch a few of their videos, and it looks like all I have to do is click on them and he will be able to watch them, so is there a good reason to bother registering with them as well? Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well, I know besides the videos they have ways to practice math and track how well the child is doing. If you register, that is. I assume that wouldn't work if you didn't register but maybe I don't know what I am talking about. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 That's still more than I knew, so even if you don't know what you're talking about, you're still a few steps ahead of me! :D Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You can create an account as your child's coach, or you can create a parent account which allows you to monitor your dc's progress - videos watched, problems solved, scores, grade levels, etc. But they can also watch the videos without signing up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It is a bit of a pill to register, but we have found it well worth the trouble. I can assign activities to each child and I receive a weekly report detailing the amount of time spent on problems, on video watching.....it even breaks it down for me exactly which activites and videos were accessed.

Thanks!!! :) I don't think we would use any of the extra features at this point, but if ds was younger, it sounds like there would have been many advantages to creating an account. My ds doesn't need any of the accountability stuff, and I would only have him watch videos if he was having difficulty with something specific in his regular schoolwork (we're using American School for high school,) so I think I'll pass on registering and just let him watch the videos for now. Thanks again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
