replace language teachers at the school, which had to be let go due to budget shortfalls. Students can now work through

math problems using Khan Academy and learn a language through LiveMocha, all at their own pace.

School District

With the launch of the new iPad app for Khan Academy, it’s easier than ever for teachers to bring the resources it has to

offer into the classroom. One school district making use of both the tablets and the online education site is Minola School

District in New York. Elementary and middle school students within the district are using Khan Academy on their iPads

to watch videos and play math-related games that earn them rewards as they progress. Students get goals from their

teachers to work on using the program; once they’ve achieved those goals, they can then progress to new goals at their

own pace. It’s been a big help to many students, both those who need a little help with math and those who want to work

ahead, with one student moving into some serious algebra well ahead of his 5th grade class. Test scores have also

supported the program, with students using Khan often outpacing others in their math comprehension.

on Academy

Envision is one of four charter schools in Northern California that’s experimenting with Khan Academy in its academic

programs. Last summer, the school ran a small program for remedial algebra students using Khan materials, a pilot which

was largely successful. The school’s chief academic officer, Brian Greenberg, says students respond so well to the Khan

material because they get “instant feedback” through tracking accomplishment and progress and by earning badges. During

the summer program, students only spent half their time on algebra, with the rest spent on building lower-level math skills,

yet the students in the program still outscored those in the traditional class that only focused on algebra. Many teachers feel

that this is because allowing students to work on these weak spots takes the fear away from math, and makes it fun for

students to learn in a way that many haven’t experienced before.

Valley School District

The Apple Valley School District is using Khan Academy in its math classes, but they’ve chosen to combine it with another

teaching tool, Accelerated Math, to get even more out of the videos and programs offered. The combination allows teachers

to connect videos and lessons from the Khan Academy site directly to district and statewide objectives for learning, making it

simple to use the free materials at Khan without skipping over anything central to standardized test prep. In addition to using

Khan Academy, students are also encouraged to embrace Google apps, wikis, and other forward-thinking technologies for

education.

. Ararat Middle School

Based in Topsham, Maine, this middle school is embracing Khan Academy in a pilot set of math classrooms this year.

Students will be using the math videos posted at Khan to learn new concepts while also completing problem sets, both in

the classroom and at home for practice. The school is encouraging parents and staff members to sign on as coaches for

students, helping them to stay motivated and get the support they need to succeed. If the pilot program is successful this

year, students at Mt. Ararat could see a lot more Khan in the classrooms in coming years.

Elementary School

Gayle Dyer is bringing a host of online and high-tech tools into the classroom for her fifth grade students at Bubb

Elementary School to use. Students can play and learn on iPads and through educational content on YouTube and

Khan Academy. Dyer is one of many teachers taking part in a pilot program through Khan Academy and she is having a

great experience so far, saying, “The kids are highly engaged in it. When they do it on the iPad, it’s fun. So they’re

practicing more.” Dyer says that using the iPad for Khan lessons has been effective because students can work at their

own pace and because they can showcase their progress through earned badges, boosting their self-confidence and

interest in math.

Preparatory School

Summit is one of a number of California charter schools making Khan a part of their everyday classroom experience.

The school is splitting up lessons between those that are teacher-led and those that are computer-based, allowing

students to get feedback from both their teacher and the online Khan programs. Unlike many of the other schools

participating in Khan’s pilot programs, Summit is from a far less affluent community, with 40% of students qualifying for

free lunches and a high level of gang violence. Many students don’t have a computer at home, but through the help of

the school and the Khan Academy, many are improving their test scores and doing well in their studies.

Technology School

This private school in Palo Alto uses small classes (only 12-13 students) and the latest technology to help both typical

learners and those with special needs thrive in a classroom setting. One of the newest tools being tried out in Hope

classrooms is Khan Academy. Hope is unique among schools trying out Khan because nearly 40% of its students have

special needs and require special accommodations in the classroom and during testing. Yet that hasn’t held them back, as

students at the school generally perform at or above grade level. With students able to learn at their own pace through Khan,

it makes it simple to accommodate the needs of just about any type of learner. The long-term effects of Khan at Hope have

yet to be seen, but it is so far proving to be yet another valuable tech tool in the school’s arsenal.

. Lebanon High School

Math classes at Mt. Lebanon are fully embracing the idea of the flipped classroom, with students watching lectures as

homework and getting help from their teacher to work on problem sets in class. A big help to this process has been Khan

Academy, which was the inspiration for teachers to create their own Khan-like programs for students

don’t always use Khan material in class, it was the model provided by the service that inspired several Mt. Lebanon

teachers to flip their classrooms, developing their own video lectures and online content. Students and teachers alike

are loving the new model, with many really appreciating being able to go back and watch videos or review material that

was confusing at first glance.

rald Public Schools

Students at Chatterton Middle School in the Fitzgerald Public School District are using Khan Academy to work at their

own pace in math classes in a program called Tier Math. Students begin the course at their own level and work through

at a pace that is comfortable for them, progressing through lectures and problem sets using Khan Academy resources

online. It seems to be working, as assessment scores have been steadily increasing in students in the Tier Math

program. Students in the first Tier Math class were even asked to become teachers themselves and show students in

later classes how to use the online tools, an experience teachers report as being highly successful and that will likely

continue in future years.

Academy

Acton Academy is making great strides in bringing adaptive educational technologies into the classroom. The school not

only uses Khan Academy, but also Manga High and Jili Math to help students work at their own pace and review

material that they may not have grasped. Students at Acton begin using these programs in their early years, a process

that seems to be paying off. Students at Acton are on average 3.5 grade levels above age and accelerating, thanks

largely in part to the interactive and leveled materials they get from these adaptive digital technologies.
