Guest janicebremner Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 My son, 7, is gifted in math and I want to supplement his basic math education he gets at school by using videos and exercises from the Khan Academy. The only computers I have are macs - but I can't get the exercises to load. Is this a hardware issue? Do I need a Windows-based, PC machine to use the Khan Academy online?

happydays Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It's not a hardware problem. We are a Mac only family and have no problem with Khan on our 3 computers. Are you using Safari? Have you updated it? We use Safari 5.0.5. HTH, Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use both mac and PC to access it (often at the same time, lol). I've never had any trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) I've used various versions of Firefox on my Mac and the videos are fine. The videos are stored on youtube servers, do you have youtube blocked? ....and I just tested exercises. They work for me using Firefox 3.6.20. Make sure java is installed and up to date also since the exercises use javascript. Edited August 29, 2011 by Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
