ladykayaker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Is it only me, but I find the videos on Khan very dry and quite limited? I keep thinking it is a free resource and should be useful, but those that I have watched so far aren't worth the time it takes to watch them.

NancyNellen Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, I think different people will have different experiences. We have used Khan extensively with one child who needs multiple approaches for math. It was always our go-to for any topics that needed additional work. She told me Khan Academy was her favorite for math, as the slow, simple explanations really did the trick for her. My oldest son, on the other hand, doesn't care for it. My fourth grade son watched all the Singapore 3 lessons Sal did last year and really enjoyed it. He loved that he sometimes made mistakes and said funny things. He grasped the concepts easily and enjoyed the independence of watching the lessons all by himself. So, for him, it was a win. Just like so many things in life (and especially in homeschooling), your trash may well be someone else's treasure. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It has helped both of my boys. They love it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Shot Academy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I agree that they are boring, but my oldest loves them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BibleBeltCatholicMom Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just cannot understand the appeal but my daughter LOVES them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 its boring but clear. my youngest said 'he knows how to teach well' and my older has found it useful to explain things when he gets stuck and my explanations arent cutting it.
