For this blog post I wanted to share the online academic resource Khan Academy Kids. Khan Academy Kids is an educational resource for primary and junior students. Providing many different types of games varying from English to Math that students can choose from. Selecting which difficulty and grade level they would like to work at.
One of the games I remember using while supplying at St. Celia was ‘Let’s Play & Count 1-20!’ - For this game students follow an elephant and have to count in order from 1-20, clicking on the different numbered leaves as the elephant follows. This is just one example of the many games that this resource has to offer. Especially if you are a teacher that believes in gamification. I truly believe this is a great application. As I said before, sure the student may not be doing work but at least what they are doing online follows the curriculum standards and academic at core. Or just as one of my group members said ‘your student is doing work, without knowing they are doing work.’You can go to the site now by clicking on the picture below:
