Khan Academy is bringing STEM subjects to anyone and everyone

Pros

I like that it is free but has really high quality content. Other online learning platforms are much more expensive for the same education

Cons

I love the offerings that are there but I would love to see similar education with other subjects

My Review of Khan Academy

My overall experience with Khan Academy is good.

Pros

Khan Academy offers a variety of courses in different disciplines which is something good for people who want to learn different things. I like that learning at Khan Academy is free and available for anyone. Also, Khan Academy offers quizzes and exams after each lesson to test my knowledge.

Cons

Khan Academy has few subtitles for the most talkative languages only. Khan Academy doesn't have any advanced courses. Most of the courses are offered for beginners. Also, the interface of Khan Academy needs some improvement to be more engaging.

Invaluable Tool for Self-Paced Learning

Khan Academy is a powerful supporting character in my classroom. It helps to create and promote a culture of furthered learning and problem solving, helping my students to take charge of their learning and progress at their own pace. I could not imagine not having it in my classroom anymore!

Pros

My favorite part about Khan Academy is how it can be so easily incorporated to support self-paced and extension learning. The targets (lessons) are so well organized and the program itself is incredibly easy to navigate. Many of the lessons contain helpful tutorial videos which help support learners as well. My students get about fifteen minutes a day to progress through the math lessons, and Khan Academy has served to significantly boost students achievement in that time. It isn't a replacement for our full curriculum, but it is used to supplement and fill in gaps.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about Khan Academy, but one gripe I do have is how busy the design is. Sometimes, particularly in the introduction to using the program, my students can get overwhelmed and unsure where to go and what to click on to find their work. Like anything else, this can be overcome with practice, but there is a lot on the screen to sift through at times.

Khan Academy is A Fantastic Learning Tool

Overall, Khan Academy has been a wonderful addition to my kids and their schooling. It mirrors what they're learning and makes it more fun than just a worksheet. A slight trick them into learning type of thing. The characters are sweet, and the content is perfect for every age and stage of learning.

Pros

We LOVE Khan Academy. My husband stumbled upon it years ago for our oldest daughter, and the content is spot on for exactly what kids are learning per grade. Now my son is in Kindergarten and he is using it too. Every area they've struggled with is featured on this app. And it's free!

Cons

I do not have any complaints about Khan Academy, except that I wish they offered a Spanish option. Both of my kids are in a Spanish Dual Language program, and we love Khan for English so much that I wish they had one for Spanish per grade too.

Best platform for UPSC Coaching

Pros

IIts a decent software where one can learn about competitive services. Daily MCQ content is good and dynamic. The best part is how they integrate the current portion of UPSC into the static portion which is quite helpful from a prelims point of view. Mains content of the competition service is also very good with mock papers

Cons

they concentrate only on UPSC and not on state psc papers.

Excellent Resources, Not Quite Complete

I use Khan Academy as a supplement to my regular course work but it is not complete enough to be the only thing I use.

Pros

I like the approach the Khan Academy takes to its courses. Providing videos and walkthrus are great for the students. The test prep is especially helpful.

Cons

The content is a bit lacking. Core subjects are covered quite well but as a complete solution, it needs to add more elective content. Computer Science in particular is not a robust as it could be.

Very easy to install with less memory space unlike other apps
Navigation on the app specially is really end user oriented and can be used by both type of app users - Nov and Prof

Cons

Content of the course - It’s too basic and low level
Not much detail explanation or analysis have been added

UI - Can be more intuitive. Not very eye catchy

Courses : Need to add more important major courses with no cost

Good Prep for SATs

Pros

I've mainly used Khan Academy to prepare for my SAT test, and it was very helpful. I took the SAT test twice, using Khan Academy to study for less than hour (total) in between, and scored 40 points higher the second time. I believe that if I had dedicated more time to studying using Khan Academy resources, I could've scored even higher. The best part is that it's free! It uses your results from the first test to help you study.

Cons

I have no complaints about this software since it personalizes your practice questions from your previous test(s).

Una herramienta indispensable para un aprendizaje dinámico

Muy útil, preferible por sobre los métodos de aprendizaje tradicionales, y una plataforma que resalta por sobre la competencia de herramientas de similar índole.

Pros

Los recursos que ofrece la plataforma, el estilo en general de la página web, y las actividades didácticas que ofrece para ejercitar los contenidos vistos pocas veces son complicados, y eso facilita que el uso general de la herramienta sea muy agradable.

Cons

En general la plataforma no presenta errores, quizás podría contar con opciones de personalización para gusto del usuario, pero no es indispensable.

Mi mejor aliado para la enseñanza de la matemática.

Me encanta Khan Academy, desde que la conocí no dejo de usarla cada vez que imparto un curso de matemáticas. Tiene un catálogo muy amplio de ejercicios y eso es muy cool. Lo que adoro es que hay explicaciones muy buenas cada vez que alguien responde de manera incorrecta un ítem, eso es de gran ayuda para el docente. La recomiendo para profesores de matemáticas de todos los niveles.

Pros

Posee muchísimos ejercicios. Explica a los estudiantes cuando se equivocan Puedo ver el progreso de mis estudiantes Puedo armar los temarios de contenidos según las necesidades de mi aula.

Cons

No tengo queja alguna con Khan Academy, solamente en un par de ocaciones a algunos alumnos se les ha hecho "complicado" empezar a usar la plataforma, pero es cosa de minutos aprenden con facilidad.
