What is the Khan Academy?

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit education website. It contains thousands of videos on a variety of topics like Math,

Science, Humanities, Finance, Economics, and Test Prep. It can be very helpful if you are stuck on a topic... Especially in math!

When students are given a username and password through the school to use on Khan Academy, they can add their teachers as a coach and it will track their time usage on the Khan Academy and progress through some additional lessons.

Many of the teachers are offering extra credit for time spent on the Khan Academy! Make sure you ask your teacher if this is being offered.

Talk to Mr. Harmless if you would like a Username and Password to use with Khan Academy.

All of this and it is free and easy to use. What more could you ask?
