Online Interactive Tools




I am finally posting my "finds" in the right place !



I have found the following Online Interactive Tools


#1 

Strategy:  communication/collaboration   serves:  F2F/DE
Link: http://www.khanacademy.org/
Cost: $0

What does the site do? Originally it was developed to teach math but has since expanded to cover any and every subject the owner has time to and is willing to cover.

How will it benefit students? It is a great study guide for many subjects. It is very clear and describes  things thoroughly.  I think that this is great site for Math, Humanities, studying SAT/MATH, GMAT, videos.  It enhances the learning process.   This app provides the same information from a different perspective and sometimes that is extremely helpful when learning new material.  I plan on using this app to assist outside the class room for concepts not easily understood in class.  There are so many videos in this sight, that the student can play the video all day long. 

My son uses the site for Physics, SAT, English and so many other subjects.
