Khan Academy


The Khan Academy video I chose to watch was over grammar. My video explained how to identify a nouns direct and indirect object. I chose this to help me better understand this topic for a current class I am in. I found this short video to be helpful. It didn’t go into a lot of details, but it did explain and show simple examples. With this, I was able to get an understanding of how to solve and dissect direct and indirect objects from sentences. I have included a link at the bottom of this post for the video I watched. 


I am one that personally loves to be able to visually see how and why something works the way it does. Being a visual learner, I love educational resources such as Khan Academy. I feel like this is just a perfect way to further educate and explain a topic. Khan Academy covers all subjects and all kinds of topics. A lot of classes require students to read a portion of their textbooks or read an assigned article, but what about those students that have a hard time comprehending what they read. I know I was one of these students when I was younger. With Khan Academy, students can still read the assigned material, but then they could go and watch a short video that gives them the visual explanation to further understand and comprehend the lesson.


Now how does Khan Academy and the TPACK article connect, simply through technology. TPACK is becoming more known in education and seen more often in the classroom. It is a framework for the integration of technology in classrooms and how teachers can successfully incorporate technology. TPACK is the framework of integrating technology into the content and pedagogy of the classroom. Khan Academy is a perfect and easy way to incorporate technology into the content and pedagogy. It is a simple website that is easy for all ages to use. A teacher can turn to Khan Academy to add further explanation and examples to their lecture, to help a struggling student, and to give extra practice to students to master a topic. Khan Academy can also be used at home by students, so if a student runs into a homework problem, they can search that topic/subject and get a video explanation right there at home. I honestly feel that Khan Academy is a perfect resource to bring TPACK in the classroom.
