What Students SayKhan Academy

“I’d rather do this on Khan Academy - I can watch a video if I get stuck”

“So I do this skill on Khan Academy, submit a screenshot on canvas and earn an at-bat for a standard? Great!”

Edgenuity

“I wanna do edgenuity. It’s so much better. That way, I can move ahead of the class without waiting”

“I really like edgenuity. It lets me take my time with it[content] and I can understand everything very well

What Parents Say“My son has dyscalculia. The Khan Academy exercises just works really well for his processing. The layout and comfort of doing assignments online has really helped him master the content.”

“I’ve used Khan Academy to learn the content my kids are studying in school”

What Teachers Say“Edgenuity, especially for Geometry, is really good at the roadmap that is aligned to the new common core standards. I would really consider using it in your Geometry class”

“I started with edgenuity and realized very quickly that it wasn’t going to work in my class”

“I think it’s alright. I hate to say it, but the layout and design is not very user friendly. It’s really not intuitive”

iLearn for innovation

You can use edgenuity to create two separate classes within one. You’ll have one subset of students taking 1st semester Geometry and the other in their second semester. It would be a daily lift(change) in planning your lessons. But it could really work. This enables us to change our grouping of kids to have mixed-ability classes.
