00:00:00.220 --> 00:00:01.053
- [Instructor] In this video,

00:00:01.053 --> 00:00:02.770
we're gonna talk about
a few of the pitfalls

00:00:02.770 --> 00:00:04.440
that someone might encounter

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.230
while they're trying to solve

00:00:06.230 --> 00:00:07.930
a quadratic equation like this.

00:00:07.930 --> 00:00:09.650
Why is it a quadratic equation?

00:00:09.650 --> 00:00:10.520
Well, it's a quadratic

00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:13.530
because it has this second
degree term right over here

00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:16.700
and it's an equation because
I have something on both sides

00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:18.320
of an equal sign.

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.220
So one strategy that people might try is,

00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:23.710
well, I have something squared,

00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:26.360
why don't I just try to take
the square root of both sides?

00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:28.050
And if you did that, you would get

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:33.020
the square root of x squared
plus four x plus three

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:35.840
is equal to the square
root of negative one.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.760
And you immediately see a few problems.

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.460
Even if this wasn't a negative one here,

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:40.700
that's the most obvious problem.

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:42.670
But even if this was
a positive value here,

00:00:42.670 --> 00:00:43.960
how do you simplify

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.588
or how do you somehow
isolate the x over here?

00:00:46.588 --> 00:00:49.870
You've pretty quickly hit a dead end.

00:00:49.870 --> 00:00:51.060
So just willy nilly,

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.380
taking the square root of
both sides of a quadratic

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:55.960
is not going to be too helpful.

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.590
So I'll put a big X over there.

00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:02.570
Another strategy that sometimes
people will try to go for

00:01:02.570 --> 00:01:04.760
is to isolate the x squared first.

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:05.930
So you could imagine,

00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:06.790
let me just rewrite it.

00:01:06.790 --> 00:01:10.840
X squared plus four x plus
three is equal to negative one.

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.880
They might say, let's
isolate that x squared

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:16.620
by subtracting four x from both sides

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:19.720
and subtracting three from both sides.

00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:21.450
And then what happens?

00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:22.630
On the left hand side,

00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:25.000
you do indeed isolate the x squared,

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.310
and on the right hand side,

00:01:26.310 --> 00:01:30.240
you get negative four x minus four.

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:31.940
And now, someone might say,

00:01:31.940 --> 00:01:34.230
if I take the square root of both sides,

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:35.860
I could get,

00:01:35.860 --> 00:01:37.040
I'll just write that down.

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.300
Square root of x squared is equal to,

00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:41.440
and you could try to take
the plus of minus of one side

00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:45.040
to make sure you're
hitting the negative roots.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.590
Negative four x minus four.

00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:52.110
And you could get something like this,

00:01:52.110 --> 00:01:53.500
you would get x is equal to

00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:57.570
plus or minus the square root
of negative four x minus four,

00:01:57.570 --> 00:01:58.580
but this still doesn't help you.

00:01:58.580 --> 00:01:59.900
You still don't know what x is,

00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:00.970
and it's really not clear

00:02:00.970 --> 00:02:03.600
what to do with this algebraically.

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:06.260
So this is yet another dead end.

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:07.420
Now, there's some cases

00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:08.920
in which this strategy would have worked.

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:10.010
In fact, it would have worked

00:02:10.010 --> 00:02:12.750
if you did not have
this first degree term.

00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:15.680
If you did not have this
x term, so to speak.

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.130
Then this strategy would have worked

00:02:17.130 --> 00:02:18.880
assuming that there are some solutions.

00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:20.940
But if you have an x term like this

00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:22.760
and it doesn't cancel out somehow,

00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:26.070
you know, if there was another
four x on the other side,

00:02:26.070 --> 00:02:27.850
then you could subtract
four x from both sides,

00:02:27.850 --> 00:02:28.870
and they would disappear.

00:02:28.870 --> 00:02:30.930
But if can't make these things disappear,

00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:32.930
this strategy that I've just outlined

00:02:32.930 --> 00:02:36.150
is not going to be a productive one.

00:02:36.150 --> 00:02:40.150
Now another strategy that
you'll sometimes see people use,

00:02:40.150 --> 00:02:41.460
especially when they
see something like this,

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:42.360
let me rewrite it.

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.560
X squared plus four x plus
three is equal to negative one.

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.780
They immediately go into factoring mode.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.770
They say, hey, wait, I think I
might be able to factor this.

00:02:50.770 --> 00:02:53.040
I can think of two numbers
that add up to four

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:54.700
and whose product is three.

00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:55.800
Maybe three and one.

00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.070
And then they immediately factor
this left hand expression,

00:02:58.070 --> 00:03:00.910
say that's going to be x plus three

00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:03.070
times x plus one,

00:03:03.070 --> 00:03:06.120
and then that's going to
be equal to negative one.

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.880
And then they either are
about to make a mistake,

00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:10.880
this is actually algebraically valid.

00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.270
But they either make a mistake

00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:14.250
or they realize that
they're at a dead end.

00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:16.310
Because just saying that
something times something

00:03:16.310 --> 00:03:17.550
is equal to negative one

00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:20.700
doesn't help you a ton.

00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:23.700
Because it's not clear
yet, how you'd solve for x.

00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:24.810
Another thing, try to do is,

00:03:24.810 --> 00:03:25.643
is they'll immediately say,

00:03:25.643 --> 00:03:28.240
okay, therefore x is
equal to negative three

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.550
or x is equal to negative one

00:03:30.550 --> 00:03:32.870
because negative three will
make this first term zero

00:03:32.870 --> 00:03:33.980
and negative one,

00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:36.350
or negative one would
make the second term zero.

00:03:36.350 --> 00:03:37.750
But remember, this would only be true

00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:39.250
if you're multiplying two things

00:03:39.250 --> 00:03:41.680
and you got zero as their product,

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.740
then the solutions would be anything

00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:47.140
that made either one of
those terms equal to zero.

00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:48.470
But that's not what
we're dealing with here.

00:03:48.470 --> 00:03:50.860
Here we're taking the product
is equal to negative one.

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:52.360
So in order to factor like this

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.620
and make headway in most cases,

00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:56.160
you're going to wanna have a zero

00:03:56.160 --> 00:03:58.110
on the right hand side over here.

00:03:58.110 --> 00:03:59.580
And that's also true

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:01.520
if you're trying to apply
the quadratic formula.

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.830
A lot of folks would say,

00:04:02.830 --> 00:04:05.350
okay, I see a quadratic
equation right over here.

00:04:05.350 --> 00:04:07.970
Let me just apply the quadratic formula.

00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:09.430
They say, if I have something of the form

00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:13.740
ax squared plus bx plus
c is equal to zero.

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:15.680
The quadratic formula would say

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.240
that the roots are gonna be

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.100
x is equal to negative b

00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:23.470
plus or minus the square root
of b squared minus four ac,

00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:25.770
all of that over two a.

00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:26.603
And so they'll immediately say,

00:04:26.603 --> 00:04:29.610
all right, I can recognize a here,

00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:30.620
as just being a one,

00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:32.760
there's a one coefficient
implicitly there,

00:04:32.760 --> 00:04:34.970
b is four, c is three.

00:04:34.970 --> 00:04:38.640
And they'll say, okay, x
is equal to negative four

00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:40.410
plus or minus the square
root of b squared,

00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:45.410
which is 16, minus four
times one, times three,

00:04:45.530 --> 00:04:48.120
all of that over two times one.

00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.650
But there's a problem.

00:04:49.650 --> 00:04:50.970
The quadratic formula applies

00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:54.060
when the left hand side is equal to zero.

00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:56.410
That's not what we have over here.

00:04:56.410 --> 00:04:58.380
So we're falling into that same pitfall.

00:04:58.380 --> 00:05:00.220
So everything I just did,

00:05:00.220 --> 00:05:02.620
none of this is a good idea.

00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:03.600
So the way to approach this,

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.590
if you want zero over here,

00:05:04.590 --> 00:05:06.230
you wanna add one on the right hand side,

00:05:06.230 --> 00:05:07.560
and if you wanna maintain the equality,

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.050
you have to add a one
on the left hand side.

00:05:10.050 --> 00:05:11.740
And so you're going to get

00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:16.740
x squared plus four x plus
four is equal to zero.

00:05:18.380 --> 00:05:20.330
And now you could use
the quadratic formula

00:05:20.330 --> 00:05:21.230
or you could factor.

00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:23.260
You might recognize two
plus two is equal to four.

00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:25.200
Two times two is equal to four.

00:05:25.200 --> 00:05:26.910
So you could say x plus two

00:05:26.910 --> 00:05:30.120
times x plus two is equal to zero.

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.470
And so in this case, you say,

00:05:31.470 --> 00:05:33.860
all right, x could be
equal to negative two

00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:35.710
or x could be equal to
negative two. (chuckles)

00:05:35.710 --> 00:05:37.630
So this one only has one solution,

00:05:37.630 --> 00:05:38.950
x is equal to negative two.

00:05:38.950 --> 00:05:40.290
But the key is to recognize

00:05:40.290 --> 00:05:42.730
that you need the zero on
the right hand side there,

00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:44.610
if you wanna use a quadratic formula

00:05:44.610 --> 00:05:48.943
or if you wanna use factoring
and the zero product property.

00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.010
- [Instructor] So we're
given this equation here.

00:00:02.010 --> 00:00:03.940
And what I want you to
do is pause this video

00:00:03.940 --> 00:00:05.050
and see if you can solve it.

00:00:05.050 --> 00:00:07.573
What x values satisfy the equation?

00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:11.010
All right, now let's work
through this together.

00:00:11.010 --> 00:00:12.620
So one technique could be

00:00:12.620 --> 00:00:13.970
just, let's just try to complete

00:00:13.970 --> 00:00:16.440
the square here on the left-hand side.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.320
So to do that, let me write it this way,

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.910
x squared minus eight x.

00:00:21.910 --> 00:00:24.410
And then I have,

00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:27.660
I'll write the plus one out here, is equal

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.630
to 85.

00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:32.150
Now if I wanna complete the square,

00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:33.007
I just have to think,

00:00:33.007 --> 00:00:35.517
"What can I add to both
sides of this equation

00:00:35.517 --> 00:00:37.777
"that could make this part
of the left-hand expression

00:00:37.777 --> 00:00:39.310
"a perfect square?"

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:41.170
Well, if I look at this
negative eight coefficient

00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:42.707
on the first-degree term, I could say,

00:00:42.707 --> 00:00:44.220
"Okay, let me take half
of negative eight."

00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:45.990
That would be negative four.

00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:49.400
And then, negative four squared
is going to be positive 16.

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:52.250
So I'm gonna add positive
16 on the left-hand side.

00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:55.180
And if I want, I could then subtract a 16

00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:56.520
from the left-hand side.

00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.280
Or I could add a 16 on
the right-hand side.

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.700
Notice, I've just done the same thing

00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:02.860
to both sides of this equation.

00:01:02.860 --> 00:01:04.760
And why was that useful?

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:06.030
Well, now what I've just put

00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:08.620
in parentheses is a perfect square.

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:12.240
This is the same thing
as x minus four squared.

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:13.280
It was by design.

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.280
We looked at that negative eight.

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.420
Half of that is negative four.

00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:17.790
You square it, you get 16.

00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:20.580
And you can verify, x minus
four times x minus four is,

00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:22.400
indeed, equal to this.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.020
And then we have plus one is going

00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:28.430
to be equal to, what's 85 plus 16?

00:01:28.430 --> 00:01:31.010
That is 101.

00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:32.680
And now we wanna get rid of this one

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:33.520
on the left-hand side.

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:35.180
And the easiest way we
can do that is subtract

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:36.290
one from both sides.

00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:40.080
That way we'll just isolate
that x minus four squared.

00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:43.563
And we are left with x minus four squared.

00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:48.160
Four squared, these cancel out, is going

00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:50.143
to be equal to 100.

00:01:51.890 --> 00:01:55.030
Now if something squared is equal to 100,

00:01:55.030 --> 00:01:57.140
that means that the something is equal

00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:59.940
to the positive or the negative
square root of a hundred.

00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:04.060
Or that that something,
x minus four, is equal

00:02:04.060 --> 00:02:07.870
to positive or negative 10.

00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:09.560
Positive or negative 10.

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:10.610
All I did is took the plus

00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:12.130
or minus square root of a hundred.

00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:13.180
And this makes sense.

00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:16.110
If I took positive 10
squared, I'll get a hundred.

00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:17.790
If I take negative 10
squared, I get a hundred.

00:02:17.790 --> 00:02:20.810
So x minus four could
be either one of those.

00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:25.120
And now I just add four to
both sides of the equation.

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.050
And then what do I get?

00:02:27.050 --> 00:02:30.570
I get x is equal

00:02:30.570 --> 00:02:35.570
to four plus or minus 10.

00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:37.130
Or another way of thinking about it,

00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:39.250
I could write it as x is equal

00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:41.950
to, four plus 10 is 14.

00:02:41.950 --> 00:02:46.230
And then four minus 10
is equal to negative six.

00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:48.440
So these are two ways to solve it.

00:02:48.440 --> 00:02:51.360
But there's other ways
to solve this equation.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.670
We could, right from the get-go, try

00:02:53.670 --> 00:02:57.000
to subtract 85 from both sides.

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.250
Some people feel more
comfortable solving quadratics

00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:03.390
if they have that quadratic
expression be equal to zero.

00:03:03.390 --> 00:03:06.890
And if you did that, you
would get x squared minus

00:03:06.890 --> 00:03:10.940
eight x minus 84 is equal to zero.

00:03:10.940 --> 00:03:14.060
All I did is I subtracted
85 from both sides

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:16.590
of this equation to get
this right over here.

00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:18.790
Now this one we can approach
in two different ways.

00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:21.050
We can complete the square again.

00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:23.280
Or we could just try to factor.

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.310
If we complete the square,

00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:26.010
we're going to see something
very similar to this.

00:03:26.010 --> 00:03:28.080
Actually, let me just do that really fast.

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.540
If I look at this part, right over there,

00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:35.250
I could say x squared minus eight x.

00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:36.320
And then once again,

00:03:36.320 --> 00:03:37.990
half of negative eight is negative four.

00:03:37.990 --> 00:03:40.240
That squared is plus 16.

00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.480
And then I'd have minus 84.

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:43.950
So let me do that in that blue color

00:03:43.950 --> 00:03:45.830
so we can keep track.

00:03:45.830 --> 00:03:47.690
Minus 84.

00:03:47.690 --> 00:03:50.500
And then if I added 16
on the left-hand side,

00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:52.330
I could either add that
to the right-hand side

00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:54.840
so both sides have 16 added to it.

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.230
Or if I wanna maintain the equality,

00:03:57.230 --> 00:04:00.780
I could just subtract 16
from the left-hand side.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:02.410
So I've added 16, subtracted 16.

00:04:02.410 --> 00:04:05.010
I haven't changed the
left-hand side's value.

00:04:05.010 --> 00:04:07.490
And then that would be equal to zero.

00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:09.280
This part right over here,

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.600
this is x minus four squared.

00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:15.080
This part right over here is

00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.700
minus 100 is equal to zero.

00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:21.810
And then you add a hundred
to both sides of this

00:04:21.810 --> 00:04:24.940
and you get exactly this
step right over here.

00:04:24.940 --> 00:04:26.910
Now another way that we
could've approached it

00:04:26.910 --> 00:04:28.740
without completing the square.

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.460
We could've said x squared minus

00:04:31.460 --> 00:04:34.730
eight x minus 84 is equal to zero.

00:04:34.730 --> 00:04:36.670
And think about what two numbers

00:04:36.670 --> 00:04:39.240
if I multiply them I get negative 84.

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:40.680
So they'd have to have different signs,

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.780
since when I take their product
I get a negative number.

00:04:42.780 --> 00:04:45.930
And when I add them together
I get negative eight.

00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:47.680
And there we could just
look at the factorization

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.730
of negative 84, of 84 generally.

00:04:50.730 --> 00:04:53.390
It could be two times,
let's just think about 84.

00:04:53.390 --> 00:04:56.090
84 could be two times 42.

00:04:56.090 --> 00:04:58.010
And obviously, one of them
would have to be negative,

00:04:58.010 --> 00:04:59.350
one of them would have to be positive

00:04:59.350 --> 00:05:01.260
in order to get to negative 84.

00:05:01.260 --> 00:05:03.300
But the difference
between these two numbers,

00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:05.410
if one was positive
and one was negative is

00:05:05.410 --> 00:05:06.820
a lot more than eight.

00:05:06.820 --> 00:05:08.260
So that doesn't work.

00:05:08.260 --> 00:05:11.580
So let's try, let's see,
I'll do a few in my head.

00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:14.220
Three times 28.

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:16.850
But still that difference
is way more than eight.

00:05:16.850 --> 00:05:21.850
Four times, four times,
let's see, (mumbles).

00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.860
Four times 21, no, that difference

00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:26.490
between four and 21 is
still larger than eight.

00:05:26.490 --> 00:05:28.180
Let's see, five doesn't go into it.

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:32.140
Six times 14, that's interesting now.

00:05:32.140 --> 00:05:33.910
Okay, so let's think about this.

00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:37.540
So six times 14 is equal to 84.

00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:39.000
One of them has to be negative.

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.630
And since when we take the
sum of the two numbers,

00:05:42.630 --> 00:05:43.480
we get a negative number,

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.620
that means the larger one is negative.

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:48.830
So let's see, six times
negative 14 is negative 84.

00:05:48.830 --> 00:05:51.590
Six plus negative 14 is,

00:05:51.590 --> 00:05:54.330
indeed, equal to negative eight.

00:05:54.330 --> 00:05:59.180
So we can factor this as x plus six times

00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:03.360
x minus 14 is equal to zero.

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.790
And so the product of those
two things is equal to zero.

00:06:05.790 --> 00:06:08.980
That means if either of
them is equal to zero,

00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:11.840
that would make the entire
expression equal to zero.

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:14.910
So we could say x plus
six is equal to zero.

00:06:14.910 --> 00:06:18.140
Or x minus 14 is equal to zero.

00:06:18.140 --> 00:06:19.710
Subtract six from both sides here.

00:06:19.710 --> 00:06:21.510
We get x is equal to negative six.

00:06:21.510 --> 00:06:23.690
Or add 14 to both sides here.

00:06:23.690 --> 00:06:25.870
Or x is equal to 14.

00:06:25.870 --> 00:06:27.573
Exactly what we got up here.

Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:03.770 --> 00:00:06.080
- Hi, I'm Meaghan from Khan Academy,

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.600
and in this video, we'll
walk through the reports

00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:11.670
related to assignments on Khan Academy.

00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:14.469
After you've created
assignments on Khan Academy,

00:00:14.469 --> 00:00:17.650
and your students have
completed those assignments,

00:00:17.650 --> 00:00:21.120
you can track progress
using a variety of reports

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.120
designed to help teachers
gain a deeper understanding

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.730
of student's strengths
and areas for opportunity.

00:00:27.730 --> 00:00:31.570
Start by selecting the class
from the teacher dashboard.

00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:34.800
And then selecting scores
under the assignments tab

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.603
in the left-side navigation.

00:00:37.727 --> 00:00:40.630
This will bring you to the
assignment scores report.

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:42.520
In this report, you will see progress

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.440
across assignments for
all students in the class.

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.310
If the assignment is a video or article,

00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:50.760
and students have
completed the assignment,

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:53.250
you will see a green check mark.

00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:55.320
To earn completion for a video,

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.040
the student most have watched
at least 90% of the video

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:01.700
at no faster than double speed.

00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:03.900
To earn completion for an article,

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:06.660
the student must have
clicked into the article.

00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:10.780
If the assignment is an
exercise, quiz, or test,

00:01:10.780 --> 00:01:14.373
the student's best score will
be shown in a color-coded box.

00:01:15.370 --> 00:01:18.313
Boxes appear as red for scores 0-59,

00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:24.873
yellow for scores 60-99, or
green for a score of 100.

00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:29.109
If the student has not
completed the assignment,

00:01:29.109 --> 00:01:31.253
the box will remain gray.

00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.300

00:01:42.770 --> 00:01:46.860
This includes exercises,
quizzes, and tests.

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:48.760
This screen shows you an example

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.840
of an assignments responses report

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.330
for an exercise that
contained seven questions.

00:01:54.330 --> 00:01:58.160
On the left side, you can
select the first or last attempt

00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:00.870
students made to answer the question.

00:02:00.870 --> 00:02:03.850
You are also able to select each question

00:02:03.850 --> 00:02:06.093
to see students' responses.

00:02:08.390 --> 00:02:09.800
If you've chosen to provide

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.490
different questions for each student,

00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:14.210
the questions appear in the order

00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:16.523
students found them most challenging.

00:02:17.515 --> 00:02:19.976
The questions students incorrectly

00:02:19.976 --> 00:02:23.246
most frequently appears at the top,

00:02:23.246 --> 00:02:25.606
while the questions
students answered correctly

00:02:25.606 --> 00:02:28.910
most frequently appears at the bottom.

00:02:28.910 --> 00:02:30.180
If you've chosen to provide

00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:32.520
the same question for all students,

00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.150
the questions appear in the order

00:02:34.150 --> 00:02:36.453
in which they were presented to students.

00:02:39.070 --> 00:02:42.290
On the right side, you can
select a specific student,

00:02:42.290 --> 00:02:45.873
or the whole class, to view the
assignment responses report.

00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:50.370
Select the responses tab on the right

00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:53.390
to see a summary of student responses.

00:02:53.390 --> 00:02:55.510
Correct responses can be highlighted

00:02:55.510 --> 00:02:57.763
by selecting the reveal answer button.

00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:01.820
You can view which
students gave which answers

00:03:01.820 --> 00:03:04.200
by selecting an individual response

00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:06.053
to display student names.

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:10.480
Many teachers recommend
keeping students' names private

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:13.193
when sharing this report
with the entire class.

00:03:14.170 --> 00:03:18.430
You can select the draw tab
to reveal a scratchpad space

00:03:18.430 --> 00:03:22.200
that you can use to solve the
problem live with students.

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:24.620
Many teachers recommend using a projector

00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:26.363
for the class to follow along.

00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:31.920
Some teachers also
suggest having a student

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:34.690
solve the problem step
by step for the class,

00:03:34.690 --> 00:03:37.410
instead of the teacher,
as a way to encourage

00:03:37.410 --> 00:03:40.103
student voice and build
student confidence.

00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:42.710
In the hints tab, you can view

00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:46.070
the step-by-step process
to solve the problem.

00:03:46.070 --> 00:03:49.600
These are the same steps
provided to students in real time

00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:53.850
when they select the "get a
hint" option in an exercise.

00:03:53.850 --> 00:03:57.120
You can also access the
assignment responses report

00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.650
by selecting the manage tab
from the class dashboard,

00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:02.900
and then selecting view report

00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:04.673
for the individual assignment.

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:10.960
The assignment scores report,

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.240
and the assignment responses report,

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.240
are helpful in monitoring assignment

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.870
progress for an entire class.

00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:19.640
If you'd like to look more closely

00:04:19.640 --> 00:04:22.370
at the assignment progress
for a single student,

00:04:22.370 --> 00:04:25.253
use the individual
student assignment report.

00:04:26.330 --> 00:04:29.940
From the class dashboard,
select activity overview

00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:31.683
from the left-side navigation.

00:04:32.650 --> 00:04:34.900
Then select the individual student

00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:37.260
whose assignment progress you want to view

00:04:37.260 --> 00:04:40.933
by selecting the student's
name from the class list.

00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:44.623
This brings you to the
individual student report.

00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:48.270
Select the assignments tab to view

00:04:48.270 --> 00:04:50.683
all assignments given to that student.

00:04:51.650 --> 00:04:54.830
This report displays
the due date and time,

00:04:54.830 --> 00:04:58.100
assignment name, assignment status,

00:04:58.100 --> 00:04:59.870
attempts made on the assignment,

00:04:59.870 --> 00:05:01.370
and the student's best score

00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:04.823
if the assignment is an
exercise, quiz, or test.

00:05:06.380 --> 00:05:08.790
There is also a red indicator that appears

00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:12.610
next to the assignment status
if the assignment is late,

00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:14.570
meaning the student
completed the assignment

00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:15.783
after the due date.

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.140
The individual student assignment report

00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:23.043
can also be reached from the
assignment scores report.

00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.840
From the assignment scores report,

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:28.280
select the student's name
from the student list

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:30.620
in the assignment scores report.

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:31.980
This will bring you to the student's

00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:34.263
individual student assignment report.

00:05:36.050 --> 00:05:38.370
We hope this video helps
you better understand

00:05:38.370 --> 00:05:40.660
the assignment reports on Khan Academy,

00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:42.450
and how to best use these reports

00:05:42.450 --> 00:05:43.913
to support student success.


Khan for Educators: Creating assignments

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:02.710 --> 00:00:05.330
- Hi, I'm Maeghan from Khan Academy.

00:00:05.330 --> 00:00:06.163
In this video,

00:00:06.163 --> 00:00:09.380
we'll learn how to find
and assign exercises,

00:00:09.380 --> 00:00:11.650
videos, and articles on Khan Academy

00:00:11.650 --> 00:00:13.593
for your classes or students.

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.870
In order to create an assignment,

00:00:17.870 --> 00:00:20.120
we recommend teachers start by finding

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.060
and assigning content right
from the assignments tab

00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:24.910
on the teacher dashboard.

00:00:24.910 --> 00:00:26.650
From the teacher dashboard,

00:00:26.650 --> 00:00:28.403
select one of your classes,

00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:32.191
and then click on assignments
on the left side navigation

00:00:32.191 --> 00:00:35.890
to expand all of the
options under assignments,

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.533
and then click assign.

00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:40.400
Now, select your preferred course

00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:42.210
from the dropdown menu.

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.800
You will see the full content

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.253
for the course divided into units.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.566
Units are organized into lessons,

00:00:49.566 --> 00:00:54.566
which in turn contain videos,
articles, and exercises.

00:00:55.490 --> 00:00:57.100
Courses that are already aligned

00:00:57.100 --> 00:00:59.403
with the Common Core and AP

00:00:59.403 --> 00:01:02.820
show the standards tag to each unit,

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:07.453
lesson, video, article, and exercise.

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:10.860
By clicking a piece of content,

00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:14.220
you can view the
exercise, watch the video,

00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:17.573
or read the article before
assigning it to students.

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:21.876
In addition, hovering
the cursor over a code

00:01:21.876 --> 00:01:24.903
shows the text of that
Common Core standard.

00:01:26.370 --> 00:01:28.050
When you find what you need,

00:01:28.050 --> 00:01:30.170
check the boxes for individual pieces

00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:32.970
of content or the entire lesson,

00:01:32.970 --> 00:01:34.513
and then click assign.

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.480
While it may seem appealing

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.210
to assign an entire unit to a class,

00:01:41.210 --> 00:01:42.573
we don't recommend this.

00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.790
When you assign a unit to a class,

00:01:45.790 --> 00:01:48.663
each item appears as a separate
assignment to students,

00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:51.680
which means you could be giving students

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.843
20, 30, or even 60 assignments.

00:01:55.870 --> 00:01:57.980
Whenever you assign a piece of content,

00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:00.470
you need to choose the class or classes,

00:02:00.470 --> 00:02:04.293
students, due date, and
time of the assignments.

00:02:05.410 --> 00:02:07.720
You can assign to a specific class,

00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:08.860
a few classes,

00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:10.613
or all of your classes at once.

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.860
You can still assign for one student,

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:16.533
a group of students, or
all of your students.

00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:20.880
There is also an option for teachers

00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.510
to select the content they wish to assign,

00:02:23.510 --> 00:02:26.860
but save the assignment for
some time in the future.

00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:28.960
You can click assign
to send the assignment

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.460
to students immediately,

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:32.110
or click save and assign later

00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:34.283
to save the assignments for a later time.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.550
In addition, for exercises,

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:39.030
you can decide whether students

00:02:39.030 --> 00:02:41.900
will receive the same
question in the same order,

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:43.940
or a set of questions selected at random

00:02:43.940 --> 00:02:45.993
from that exercises item bank.

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:48.090
One note,

00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:49.990
you can always view the complete item bank

00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:53.510
for an exercise by
clicking the exercise name.

00:02:53.510 --> 00:02:55.580
Teachers share that viewing the item bank

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:57.305
before creating an assignment

00:02:57.305 --> 00:03:00.400
helps them ensure they
are the right questions

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.250
and help some flag any concerns

00:03:02.250 --> 00:03:04.623
before assigning the content to students.

00:03:07.100 --> 00:03:08.920
In the case of classroom practice,

00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:10.930
the most common option is to ask students

00:03:10.930 --> 00:03:13.630
to work on the same set of questions.

00:03:13.630 --> 00:03:16.910
This allows you to quickly
identify common mistakes,

00:03:16.910 --> 00:03:19.210
which highlights areas for reteaching

00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:22.130
or allows you to quickly
identify common areas

00:03:22.130 --> 00:03:26.143
of success to provide
opportunities for celebration.

00:03:27.190 --> 00:03:28.830
If you are using assignments

00:03:28.830 --> 00:03:31.240
for independent practice or homework,

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:32.800
many teachers prefer students

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.130
to work on different questions.

00:03:35.130 --> 00:03:36.450
In these situations,

00:03:36.450 --> 00:03:38.910
students are given a consistent number,

00:03:38.910 --> 00:03:41.630
variety, and rigor of questions,

00:03:41.630 --> 00:03:43.832
but because the questions
are not identical,

00:03:43.832 --> 00:03:46.683
students are encouraged
to work independently.

00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:50.420
Another way to make assignments

00:03:50.420 --> 00:03:51.953
is through the skills report.

00:03:52.990 --> 00:03:55.172
The skills report shows
the level of skill mastery

00:03:55.172 --> 00:03:58.160
for every skill for every student,

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:00.879
which makes it a valuable
tool for assigning content

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.513
that meets the needs of each student.

00:04:05.540 --> 00:04:08.010
Select the unit to expand the report

00:04:08.010 --> 00:04:11.460
and view all of the
skills within the unit.

00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:13.310
By hovering over the purple bar

00:04:13.310 --> 00:04:15.130
to the right of the skill name,

00:04:15.130 --> 00:04:17.360
you can get a quick view of the number

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.320
of students at each skill level.

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.310
By clicking on the skill name,

00:04:22.310 --> 00:04:24.192
you can expand the view of the skill

00:04:24.192 --> 00:04:26.470
to see which students in the class

00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:28.713
are currently at each skill level.

00:04:29.750 --> 00:04:32.460
You can then use the
assign this skill button

00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:34.900
on the right hand side to assign the skill

00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:36.604
to an individual student,

00:04:36.604 --> 00:04:39.433
group of students, or all students.

00:04:42.050 --> 00:04:43.700
The same popup that appears

00:04:43.700 --> 00:04:46.203
in the assignment tab will appear here.

00:04:48.130 --> 00:04:50.040
You can preview the types of questions

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.050
that are included in this exercise

00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:55.183
by hovering over the
blue view exercise link.

00:04:57.450 --> 00:04:59.130
Clicking on the link will take you

00:04:59.130 --> 00:05:01.843
to the student view of the same exercise.

00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:06.270
Many teachers suggest using
this report to assign skills

00:05:06.270 --> 00:05:08.020
the students at the not started

00:05:08.020 --> 00:05:10.440
or attempted levels to encourage them

00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:14.030
to increase their practice
time on that skill.

00:05:14.030 --> 00:05:15.600
Another way to make assignments

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.600
on Khan Academy is through the toolbar.

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.980
When you browse any
content on Khan Academy

00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:22.930
from the student perspective,

00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:25.690
as long as you are logged
into your teacher account,

00:05:25.690 --> 00:05:29.010
the toolbar will appear
at the top of the page.

00:05:29.010 --> 00:05:31.150
You can use the toolbar
to make assignments

00:05:31.150 --> 00:05:32.940
using the same information you would

00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:35.423
from the assignments tab or skills report.

00:05:36.310 --> 00:05:38.210
One other thing.

00:05:38.210 --> 00:05:40.280
You can also find the content you need

00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:42.110
by using the search bar.

00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:43.876
You can search by subject,

00:05:43.876 --> 00:05:47.600
concept, or even by standards.

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.719
Common Core state standards
for K through 12 math

00:05:50.719 --> 00:05:54.850
or AP standards for our AP courses.

00:05:54.850 --> 00:05:58.090
You can then filter the results by videos,

00:05:58.090 --> 00:06:01.273
articles, exercises, and more.

00:06:02.154 --> 00:06:03.950
When you find the content you want,

00:06:03.950 --> 00:06:06.080
click on the item and use the tool bar

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.173
to complete the assignment options.

00:06:09.590 --> 00:06:12.764
If you ever need to edit
or delete an assignment,

00:06:12.764 --> 00:06:16.203
use the manage tab under assignments.

00:06:19.710 --> 00:06:22.624
Now that you have an idea of
how to create assignments,

00:06:22.624 --> 00:06:24.820
a question we hear a lot is

00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:26.823
what does this look like for students?

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:31.560
Students will find assignments
on their learner home page,

00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.620
the page they see as soon as they log in,

00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:37.463
under the assignments tab for each class.

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.980
Students will see all of
their active assignments,

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:43.200
past assignments,

00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:45.753
and the due dates for
completing each assignment.

00:06:47.770 --> 00:06:49.624
Assignments are organized by due date

00:06:49.624 --> 00:06:52.930
with the soonest due date at the top.

00:06:52.930 --> 00:06:54.784
As students complete their assignments

00:06:54.784 --> 00:06:57.300
and work on each question,

00:06:57.300 --> 00:07:00.550
they receive instant feedback
on how they are doing,

00:07:00.550 --> 00:07:02.420
and both you and the student receive data

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:05.263
on their performance
almost instantaneously.

00:07:06.780 --> 00:07:09.020
Students are enabled to
make several attempts

00:07:09.020 --> 00:07:11.350
to complete the assignments,

00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:14.483
and we encourage students to
learn from their own mistakes.

00:07:15.590 --> 00:07:18.870
If you assign different
questions for each student,

00:07:18.870 --> 00:07:21.530
they will receive a new
set of questions selected

00:07:21.530 --> 00:07:24.300
at random on each attempt.

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:25.920
And just as a reminder,

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.270
students can also view
and complete assignments

00:07:29.270 --> 00:07:32.203
for any class in the
Khan Academy mobile app.

00:07:33.310 --> 00:07:35.880
We know this is a lot of
information to take in,

00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:37.780
and we hope this helps you as teachers

00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:41.350
to create assignments for
your students on Khan Academy.

00:07:41.350 --> 00:07:45.190
Some concepts work particularly
well for classroom practice.

00:07:45.190 --> 00:07:47.060
Choose concepts that are more difficult

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:50.820
or that can generate good
discussions and debates.

00:07:50.820 --> 00:07:52.500
Start slowly by creating just

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:55.060
a few assignments to do in a class.

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:58.970
Most teachers recommend three
to five assignments per week.

00:07:58.970 --> 00:08:01.808
Gradually, you will build up a
routine of using Khan Academy

00:08:01.808 --> 00:08:04.880
that best meets the pace of your students.

00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:06.710
We hope this video helps you

00:08:06.710 --> 00:08:08.350
get started creating assignments

00:08:08.350 --> 00:08:10.393
for your students on Khan Academy.


Khan for Educators: Course Mastery

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:03.230 --> 00:00:05.460
- Hi, I'm Meagan from Khan Academy.

00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:06.420
And in this video,

00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:10.183
we're gonna explore Khan
Academy's course mastery system.

00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:14.580
At Khan Academy we're
devoted to mastery learning,

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:18.100
and build our content around
our course mastery system.

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:21.170
However, a question we hear
frequently from teachers is,

00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:24.943
what exactly do we mean by
course mastery on Khan Academy?

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:28.370
Course mastery on Khan Academy,

00:00:28.370 --> 00:00:30.020
is a feature that allows teachers

00:00:30.020 --> 00:00:33.330
to set and track long term
learning goals for students,

00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:36.163
while encouraging students
to work at their own pace.

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.220
Currently course mastery is available

00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:41.840
for courses with full practice content.

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.580
All of our math courses
including AP Calculus,

00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:47.350
AB, BC, AP Statistics

00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:49.650
and our Get Ready for grade level courses,

00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:53.140
as well as Grammar, High
School Biology, AP Biology,

00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:56.470
AP Physics 1, US government and civics,

00:00:56.470 --> 00:01:00.950
AP US government and politics,
US History, AP US history,

00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:05.040
World History Project
Origins, AP macroeconomics,

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.750
Microeconomics, AP Microeconomics,

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.083
and AP Computer Science Principles.

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:14.710
Assigning course mastery goals,

00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:18.060
allows teachers to set
and track long term goals.

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:18.900
Let's walk through

00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:22.600
how to assign course mastery
goals to your students.

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:24.150
When you log in to Khan Academy,

00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:26.840
you'll land on the teacher dashboard.

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.340
Click on the name of the class,

00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:30.040
you want to assign a mastery goal.

00:01:31.510 --> 00:01:34.000
On the left hand side navigation,

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.403
go to the course mastery placement tab,

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.140
if you haven't done so already,

00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:41.970
at the on grade level
course you currently teach.

00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:43.660
And if you're a math teacher,

00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:46.570
add to get ready for grade level course.

00:01:46.570 --> 00:01:48.610
If you're about to start the school year,

00:01:48.610 --> 00:01:51.530
we recommend assigning the get
ready for grade level course,

00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:52.820
as a course mastery goal,

00:01:52.820 --> 00:01:54.560
to have students begin the year,

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.090
by gap filling and
strengthening fundamentals,

00:01:57.090 --> 00:01:59.960
before diving into on grade level skills.

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:02.670
For example, if I were
a 5th grade teacher,

00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:03.590
I would start the year

00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:06.333
by signing the get ready
for fifth grade course.

00:02:08.690 --> 00:02:11.460
Click the blue button, add these courses.

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:14.510
Now you'll be on the course
mastery placement page.

00:02:14.510 --> 00:02:16.470
Click assign goal,

00:02:16.470 --> 00:02:19.870
you can confirm your assign
the desired goals to students,

00:02:19.870 --> 00:02:21.990
by selecting course mastery placement

00:02:21.990 --> 00:02:23.900
on the left-hand panel,

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:26.120
and you will now see the
current mastery goals,

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.033
assigned to students in your class.

00:02:30.656 --> 00:02:32.650
A students work on Khan Academy.

00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:34.500
You can also add additional courses,

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:38.093
for students to work on, either
below or above grade level.

00:02:39.630 --> 00:02:43.110
You can assign the same course
for all students to master,

00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:44.730
or you can assign different courses

00:02:44.730 --> 00:02:47.880
to individuals or groups of students.

00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:50.410
We recommend using Khan
Academy's skill report,

00:02:50.410 --> 00:02:52.870
to look more closely at students progress,

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:56.393
and determine the best goal,
or goals for each student.

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:01.840
Now let's look a little closer

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.053
at what students see in terms
of course mastery goals.

00:03:06.210 --> 00:03:08.490
When students log in to Khan Academy,

00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:10.770
they will view on their learner home page,

00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:13.280
each student will be able
to see their teacher,

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.020
or class name on the left hand side.

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:17.570
By clicking on the class,

00:03:17.570 --> 00:03:19.880
students will see their mastery goal.

00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:22.120
A student can click the goal at any time,

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.170
and continue from where they left off,

00:03:24.170 --> 00:03:26.860
to make progress towards their goal.

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.780
Students can continue working
toward their mastery goal,

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:32.453
on the iOS and Android apps as well.

00:03:34.540 --> 00:03:37.987
Every skill or concept has
multiple mastery levels,

00:03:37.987 --> 00:03:41.840
and students earn additional
points, with each new level.

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.840
There are several ways
for students to practice,

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.630
they can practice a single
concept at a time on an exercise,

00:03:48.630 --> 00:03:51.280
or they can practice a
mix of different concepts,

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.630
on a quiz, unit test, course
challenge or mastery challenge.

00:03:55.630 --> 00:03:57.370
As students get questions right,

00:03:57.370 --> 00:04:01.110
they move up from not started,
to familiar, to proficient,

00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:02.793
the top level is mastered.

00:04:03.730 --> 00:04:05.810
Students can only get to mastered,

00:04:05.810 --> 00:04:07.140
by getting to proficient,

00:04:07.140 --> 00:04:10.150
and then getting that concept
right, on a unit test,

00:04:10.150 --> 00:04:12.363
course challenge, or mastery challenge.

00:04:13.301 --> 00:04:14.610
Most teachers recommend,

00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:16.800
having students start
with the course challenge,

00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.720
or specific unit tests within the course.

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.670
This way both students and teachers,

00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:23.310
can quickly identify gaps

00:04:23.310 --> 00:04:25.320
and strengths in student knowledge,

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:27.450
in order to provide the right content,

00:04:27.450 --> 00:04:29.653
and right support in the right moment.

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:33.730
When students are stuck
or missed questions,

00:04:33.730 --> 00:04:35.710
their mastery level moves down,

00:04:35.710 --> 00:04:37.780
and a symbol appears next to the concept,

00:04:37.780 --> 00:04:40.690
to help them remember where to focus.

00:04:40.690 --> 00:04:42.920
If students are consistently
missing problems

00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.920
about a concept, they'll
move to attempted status,

00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.360
and a red dot will appear
next to that concept.

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.340
Mastery of individual concepts,

00:04:51.340 --> 00:04:53.000
contributes to unit progress,

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.023
and to overall course progress.

00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:58.900
A mastery goal is considered achieved,

00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:01.890
once a student reaches 90% mastery,

00:05:01.890 --> 00:05:05.263
though they can still access
previous goals, at any time.

00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:08.860
Students can always see
what they've completed,

00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:10.970
and what they should work on next.

00:05:10.970 --> 00:05:14.590
Additionally, once students
have begun working in a course,

00:05:14.590 --> 00:05:16.310
they will receive mastery challenges,

00:05:16.310 --> 00:05:18.460
which appear at the
top of the course page.

00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:21.770
Mastery challenges,
highlight opportunities

00:05:21.770 --> 00:05:22.900
for students to engage

00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:26.020
in personalized spaced
repetition of the skills,

00:05:26.020 --> 00:05:28.163
students have already started practicing.

00:05:29.150 --> 00:05:32.040
Research shows that
spiraling skills over time,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.420
and across lessons,

00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:36.610
is a key component to minimizing
student learning loss,

00:05:36.610 --> 00:05:38.583
and improving knowledge retention.

00:05:42.370 --> 00:05:45.550
We'll be diving deeper into
reports, in a later lesson.

00:05:45.550 --> 00:05:46.870
But let's take a quick look,

00:05:46.870 --> 00:05:49.663
at where to find mastery
progress, for students.

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:54.880
Starting at the teacher
dashboard, select a class,

00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:58.700
select course mastery progress,
from the left-hand panel.

00:05:58.700 --> 00:06:02.580
This report shows student
progress on the selected course.

00:06:02.580 --> 00:06:04.250
First you'll see class progress,

00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:06.510
towards overall course mastery,

00:06:06.510 --> 00:06:09.970
and the median mastery
for the class as a whole.

00:06:09.970 --> 00:06:13.310
Below, you'll see the
mastery for each unit,

00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:15.060
perhaps it's the start of the year,

00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:17.520
and you're focusing on this first unit.

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:19.310
By clicking on any unit,

00:06:19.310 --> 00:06:21.750
you can see the additional
detail of progress,

00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:24.010
for each student at the unit level,

00:06:24.010 --> 00:06:26.560
including each student's mastery progress,

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.530
for that unit, and the class median,

00:06:28.530 --> 00:06:30.423
for unit mastery progress.

00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:34.670
Khan Academy also has a skills report,

00:06:34.670 --> 00:06:36.820
found under the activity overview,

00:06:36.820 --> 00:06:39.170
to dive deeper into the individual skills

00:06:39.170 --> 00:06:41.100
for a given course.

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:43.900
On the skills report,
you can open any unit,

00:06:43.900 --> 00:06:46.420
to get a quick view of how
students are progressing,

00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:48.000
for the skills in that unit,

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.693
by looking at the purple
bars on the right side.

00:06:51.550 --> 00:06:53.800
By clicking on a specific skill,

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.890
you will be able to see the mastery level,

00:06:55.890 --> 00:06:58.630
for every student for that skill.

00:06:58.630 --> 00:06:59.463
If you notice

00:06:59.463 --> 00:07:01.890
that several students are
struggling on a skill,

00:07:01.890 --> 00:07:04.710
you can assign extra
practice on that skill,

00:07:04.710 --> 00:07:06.513
right here in the skills report.

00:07:07.890 --> 00:07:09.930
We'll talk more about
how to make assignments,

00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:11.053
in a separate video.

00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:13.580
Some advice from teachers

00:07:13.580 --> 00:07:16.683
using Khan Academy's course
mastery in their classrooms.

00:07:17.640 --> 00:07:20.910
Mastering an entire course,
can feel daunting to students,

00:07:20.910 --> 00:07:24.520
so break it up into
checkpoints, like monthly goals.

00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:26.780
You can also consider
having students focus,

00:07:26.780 --> 00:07:29.220
on particular units throughout the year.

00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:32.660
Then check the unit report,
to see how they're doing.

00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:34.180
Also you don't need to assign

00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:36.840
the same course mastery
goal, to every student.

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:39.570
To differentiate, you can
assign different courses

00:07:39.570 --> 00:07:41.290
to different students.

00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:43.550
Some teachers even assign a mastery goal

00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:44.980
for a previous grade level,

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.570
as review at the start of the year.

00:07:47.570 --> 00:07:49.560
We hope this video helps you get started,

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.853
using course mastery with your students.


Khan for Educators: Student experience

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.220
- Hi, I'm Meaghan from Khan Academy

00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:06.140
and in this video,

00:00:06.140 --> 00:00:07.910
we're going to walk you
through the learner,

00:00:07.910 --> 00:00:10.020
or student, experience.

00:00:10.020 --> 00:00:13.240
At Kahn Academy, we believe
that everyone is a learner.

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:14.650
From the teacher perspective,

00:00:14.650 --> 00:00:18.003
all of your students are
learners and you can be as well.

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:22.190
To better understand the student
experience on Khan Academy,

00:00:22.190 --> 00:00:24.890
log into your Khan Academy account.

00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:28.100
Then select the navigation
button indicated by your name,

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.460
on the top right of the screen.

00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:34.123
Once you see the dropdown
menu, select Learner home.

00:00:39.092 --> 00:00:42.300
You can now see the learner
homepage on your screen.

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:44.990
You can think of this as
the student's homepage,

00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:47.810
as this is what students see
immediately when they log

00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:49.790
into Khan Academy.

00:00:49.790 --> 00:00:51.600
Also, a quick tip.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.350
If the student clicks on
the Khan Academy logo,

00:00:54.350 --> 00:00:56.400
no matter what page they are on,

00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.450
assuming they are logged in,

00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:01.630
they will always be taken
back to this homepage.

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:04.430
If you've never visited this page before,

00:01:04.430 --> 00:01:06.470
you will need to select
at least one course

00:01:06.470 --> 00:01:08.580
from a pop-up box screen,

00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:11.303
before you will see a
screen similar to this one.

00:01:13.150 --> 00:01:14.580
On the left-hand side,

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:17.140
any classes that the student is in

00:01:17.140 --> 00:01:19.310
and where the teacher
has given them some sort

00:01:19.310 --> 00:01:22.810
of assignment or goal, is listed.

00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:25.030
As you can see, the course mastery goal

00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:28.000
and assignments
recommended by the teacher,

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.123
are accessible with a single click.

00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:32.880
Within the Assignments tab,

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.566
learners can easily see
upcoming assignments

00:01:35.566 --> 00:01:38.403
and work directly on the
assignments from there.

00:01:39.710 --> 00:01:41.760
Within the Course mastery tab,

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.550
learners can see the mastery
goals you have given them

00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:46.883
and their progress towards those goals.

00:01:48.290 --> 00:01:50.190
By going to the Progress tab,

00:01:50.190 --> 00:01:52.470
they can see their activity log.

00:01:52.470 --> 00:01:54.510
The same report is also available

00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:56.830
to you as a teacher when you click

00:01:56.830 --> 00:01:58.623
into a student on your roster.

00:01:59.530 --> 00:02:02.610
We surface the report to
both student and teacher

00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:04.470
to facilitate accountability

00:02:04.470 --> 00:02:06.880
and teacher-student
conferencing on progress.

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.500
By clicking on Teachers,

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:10.990
students can see all of
their current teachers

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:14.313
and also join a new class
by entering a class code.

00:02:15.230 --> 00:02:17.790
On this page, students
will find the summary

00:02:17.790 --> 00:02:22.213
of their recent activity,
energy points and badges earned.

00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:27.310
When students click on their mastery goal,

00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:30.010
they are taken to the course
page where they can work

00:02:30.010 --> 00:02:32.053
through the course at their own pace.

00:02:33.330 --> 00:02:35.100
Courses are considered complete

00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:39.150
when a student reaches course
mastery of 90% or more,

00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:40.680
and they always have the option

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.703
to go back and view past goals.

00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.923
What you see here

00:02:44.923 --> 00:02:46.800
on the course page are the different units

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.410
that make up the course,

00:02:48.410 --> 00:02:50.010
as well as the student's progress

00:02:50.010 --> 00:02:51.673
towards mastering each unit.

00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:55.883
Below the unit name are the
lessons within the unit.

00:02:57.690 --> 00:02:59.710
By clicking into a lesson or unit,

00:02:59.710 --> 00:03:01.870
I am taken to the unit page.

00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:03.480
Students have the option here

00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:06.200
to either dive straight into practice,

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:08.520
which is listed on the right-hand side

00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.030
or first check out the learning material,

00:03:11.030 --> 00:03:13.883
which are the articles and
videos on the left-hand side.

00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:20.130
There are a couple different
types of practice content

00:03:20.130 --> 00:03:22.860
in Khan Academy's mastery system.

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:25.680
Exercises, which are
opportunities for students

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.520
to learn single skills in isolation

00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.400
or assessments, where students
get mixed skill review.

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.233
The different types

00:03:33.233 --> 00:03:36.510
of assessments, address
different quantities of content.

00:03:36.510 --> 00:03:40.210
Quizzes are mixed review
of skills in a lesson,

00:03:40.210 --> 00:03:44.480
unit tests are mixed review of
skills within an entire unit.

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:45.330
(dynamic, light tone)

00:03:45.330 --> 00:03:47.790
Course challenges are
mixed review of skills

00:03:47.790 --> 00:03:49.678
from the entire course.

00:03:49.678 --> 00:03:51.120
(dynamic, light tone)

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.610
As students work through the content,

00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:54.880
Khan Academy assesses their skill level,

00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:56.250
giving them a designation

00:03:56.250 --> 00:04:00.200
of, "Attempted, Familiar,
Proficient or Master."

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:03.490
These levels are surfaced in
the teacher progress reports,

00:04:03.490 --> 00:04:06.440
but students can also quickly
understand their level

00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:09.830
by looking at the tower
visual next to each skill.

00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:11.430
One brick for "Familiar."

00:04:11.430 --> 00:04:12.970
Two for "Proficient."

00:04:12.970 --> 00:04:15.177
And the crown is unlocked at "Mastered."

00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:20.810
When students work on skills
in isolation through exercises,

00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:23.860
the maximum level they
can get to is Proficient.

00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.730
They would need to answer all questions

00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:28.640
in isolated skill
practice correctly to get

00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:30.290
to that level.
(dynamic, light tone)

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:32.330
The only way to get to Mastered,

00:04:32.330 --> 00:04:35.170
is by proving students
can ace questions related

00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:38.530
to that skill in a mixed skill context.

00:04:38.530 --> 00:04:40.150
So they need to complete the assessments

00:04:40.150 --> 00:04:41.793
for that final level up.

00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:44.810
If students have tried the skill

00:04:44.810 --> 00:04:49.330
and get 70 to 99% correct,
we call them, "Familiar."

00:04:49.330 --> 00:04:51.640
If they got less than 70% correct,

00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:52.967
then they are "Attempted."

00:04:54.090 --> 00:04:55.510
At the top a course page,

00:04:55.510 --> 00:04:58.270
students may also see mastery challenges.

00:04:58.270 --> 00:05:01.100
Mastery challenges are a
way for students to review

00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:04.533
and practice previously
learned skills in a course.

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:07.850
They first get unlocked
after the student has gotten

00:05:07.850 --> 00:05:10.700
to the Familiar state
on three or more skills

00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:14.970
and continue to get unlocked
once every 12 hours afterwards.

00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:17.760
They also provide another
way beyond unit tests

00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:21.120
and course challenges for
students to level up or down

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.220
in already familiar skills.
(dynamic, light tone)

00:05:24.220 --> 00:05:26.930
Mastery challenges highlight
opportunities for students

00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:29.580
to engage in personalized space repetition

00:05:29.580 --> 00:05:33.320
of the skills students have
already started practicing.

00:05:33.320 --> 00:05:36.010
Research shows that
spiraling skills over time

00:05:36.010 --> 00:05:38.410
and cross lessons is a key component

00:05:38.410 --> 00:05:40.330
to minimizing student learning loss

00:05:40.330 --> 00:05:42.083
and improving knowledge retention.

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:48.190
Students can see assignments from teachers

00:05:48.190 --> 00:05:50.410
from their learner homepage as well.

00:05:50.410 --> 00:05:51.740
From the learner homepage,

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:53.420
students can select assignments

00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:55.913
from the left-hand panel under each class.

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.310
Students will see current
assignments in the order

00:05:59.310 --> 00:06:02.303
of what is due soonish,
at the top of the list.

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.360
Each assignment will show
the title of the activity,

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.410
the class name, the due date and time,

00:06:09.410 --> 00:06:11.830
and the status of the assignment.

00:06:11.830 --> 00:06:15.050
If the assignment is a video
or article, it will show

00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:17.670
as "Completed" or "Not Completed."

00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:19.950
If the assignment contains questions,

00:06:19.950 --> 00:06:22.203
it will show the student's best score.

00:06:23.070 --> 00:06:26.050
By clicking on the assignment
name or the status,

00:06:26.050 --> 00:06:29.110
which will show as a "Start"
button for new assignments,

00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:31.760
the student will be taken
directly to the assignment.

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.800
If students want to
revisit past assignments,

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.780
they can click the the
tab for past assignments,

00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:40.113
on the top of the page.

00:06:41.580 --> 00:06:43.790
When students are actively
engaged with questions

00:06:43.790 --> 00:06:46.750
through Khan Academy's
exercises and assessments,

00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:49.623
students receive realtime
feedback and support.

00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:51.990
If a student is stuck,

00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:53.520
they are encouraged to watch a video

00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:55.150
to help acquire the skill needed

00:06:55.150 --> 00:06:57.430
to solve the problem or take a hint,

00:06:57.430 --> 00:07:00.930
which walks through the
exact problem step-by-step.

00:07:00.930 --> 00:07:03.660
Please note, if the student
chooses to take a hint,

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:05.930
that question will be marked incorrect,

00:07:05.930 --> 00:07:09.690
as the final step in the hint,
is the answer to the problem.

00:07:09.690 --> 00:07:11.800
Once a student submits an answer,

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.190
they're instantly informed if
they are correct or incorrect,

00:07:15.190 --> 00:07:17.070
through an encouraging message to move on

00:07:17.070 --> 00:07:18.430
to the next question
(dynamic, light tone)

00:07:18.430 --> 00:07:21.253
or re-attempt the question
to reach the correct answer.

00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:24.790
We hope this video provides
a better understanding

00:07:24.790 --> 00:07:27.173
of the student experience on Khan Academy.


Khan for Educators: Creating a class

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:01.870 --> 00:00:04.610
- Hi, I'm Meaghan, and in this video,

00:00:04.610 --> 00:00:07.883
we'll walk through setting
up a class on Khan Academy.

00:00:10.850 --> 00:00:13.230
First, log in to Khan Academy.

00:00:13.230 --> 00:00:14.690
Once you're logged in,

00:00:14.690 --> 00:00:17.250
you should land on the teacher dashboard.

00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:19.470
The teacher dashboard
is the starting point

00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:22.810
for most teacher-focused
activities on Khan Academy

00:00:22.810 --> 00:00:25.723
including creating and organizing classes.

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.540
From the teacher dashboard,

00:00:28.540 --> 00:00:31.130
make sure you are on the classes tab

00:00:31.130 --> 00:00:33.800
and then click the add new class button

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.710
in the top right corner of the screen.

00:00:36.710 --> 00:00:39.230
We recommend that you
create separate classes

00:00:39.230 --> 00:00:42.020
for each group of students you teach.

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:44.280
For example, if you teach four sections

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.600
of seventh grade math,

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.883
we recommend you create a
separate class for each section.

00:00:50.410 --> 00:00:52.610
If you already use Google Classroom,

00:00:52.610 --> 00:00:54.950
you can import your
classes with all students

00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:56.850
directly to Khan Academy.

00:00:56.850 --> 00:01:00.720
If this is not the case, start
by giving your class a name.

00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:03.980
A tip we hear from teachers
is to choose a naming system

00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:06.580
that helps keep your
teacher dashboard organized

00:01:06.580 --> 00:01:10.310
and easy to find for both
you and your students.

00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:13.070
A common trend is to use your name,

00:01:13.070 --> 00:01:14.943
class period and subject.

00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:20.150
Now let's choose one or
more courses for your class.

00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:21.140
You can scroll down

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:23.883
to see the full list of courses available.

00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:26.680
You can choose the course by subject

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.830
such as Algebra I or US History

00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:32.270
or you can choose the
course by grade level

00:01:32.270 --> 00:01:35.513
like second grade reading or
get ready for fifth grade math.

00:01:36.380 --> 00:01:38.570
And don't worry, if you change your mind,

00:01:38.570 --> 00:01:41.480
you can edit your class
name and courses at any time

00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:42.823
in the class settings.

00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:48.100
After you've set up a class,
you'll want to add students

00:01:48.100 --> 00:01:50.820
and there's three different
ways you can do this.

00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:53.850
The first option is to
use Google Classroom.

00:01:53.850 --> 00:01:56.270
If you're a teacher who
uses Google Classroom,

00:01:56.270 --> 00:01:59.540
you can link your Google Classroom
and Khan Academy accounts

00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:02.540
to import your class roster directly.

00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:05.450
This will automatically
send emails to your students

00:02:05.450 --> 00:02:08.033
letting them know they've
been added to your class.

00:02:09.690 --> 00:02:12.620
The second option is for
students to join your class

00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:14.490
using the class code.

00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:18.050
Each class created on Khan
Academy has a unique code

00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:20.593
which students can use to join your class.

00:02:21.630 --> 00:02:24.380
Students only need to
enter this code one time

00:02:24.380 --> 00:02:26.910
to be connected to your class.

00:02:26.910 --> 00:02:29.120
You can share the code
with students via email

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.770
or by displaying the
code in your classroom.

00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:34.140
Students can enter the
code from the teachers tab

00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:36.070
on their learner home.

00:02:36.070 --> 00:02:38.840
They will be automatically
added to your class roster

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.373
after they enter the code.

00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:45.200
Some teachers find the
process of adding students

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:47.000
by class code challenging

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.200
especially those with younger students.

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:51.363
But don't worry, we have one more option.

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:54.740
The third option for adding students

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:57.240
is to create accounts for them.

00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.070
Please remember before
creating accounts for students

00:03:00.070 --> 00:03:01.630
in the United States,

00:03:01.630 --> 00:03:04.360
Khan Academy assumes that
you already have permission

00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.400
from parents or guardians of
students under the age of 13.

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.970
We do not recommend this option

00:03:09.970 --> 00:03:12.240
for students over the age of 13

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.023
as it creates a more
restrictive type of account.

00:03:16.290 --> 00:03:19.230
Select the option create
your student account.

00:03:19.230 --> 00:03:20.650
When you create these accounts,

00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:22.590
Khan Academy automatically generates

00:03:22.590 --> 00:03:24.410
usernames and passwords.

00:03:24.410 --> 00:03:26.800
You are able to create the
passwords for your students

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.390
according to preference
and we strongly recommend

00:03:29.390 --> 00:03:32.210
you download the complete
list with login information

00:03:32.210 --> 00:03:33.250
to keep in your files

00:03:33.250 --> 00:03:36.000
in case you need to
consult them in the future.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.650
One important warning.

00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:39.970
You will only be able
to download this list

00:03:39.970 --> 00:03:41.950
when you create accounts.

00:03:41.950 --> 00:03:45.320
You will receive an email with
all this information as well,

00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:46.980
but you will not be able to retrieve

00:03:46.980 --> 00:03:48.550
or edit this information

00:03:48.550 --> 00:03:51.083
including passwords at any other time.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.580
Now you've set up a
class and added students.

00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:58.610
But what happens when
the class roster changes?

00:03:58.610 --> 00:04:01.703
We know students move in and
out of classes during the year.

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:05.040
To keep your student list up to date,

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:07.600
select the class from
the teacher dashboard

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:11.600
and in the left side navigation,
select the students tab.

00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:14.820
From there, you will be able
to add or remove students

00:04:14.820 --> 00:04:16.670
from your classes.

00:04:16.670 --> 00:04:18.850
If a new student is joining your class,

00:04:18.850 --> 00:04:21.770
click add new students and
choose your preferred method

00:04:21.770 --> 00:04:23.960
to add the student from the three methods

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:25.653
shared earlier in this video.

00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:29.980
If one of your students moves
from one class to another

00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:31.820
but remains your student,

00:04:31.820 --> 00:04:34.300
select that student's name
from their current class

00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:37.200
and click on the add to class option.

00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:40.060
From here, select the class
the student is joining

00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:42.130
to add them to a new class.

00:04:42.130 --> 00:04:43.610
Once that is complete,

00:04:43.610 --> 00:04:45.810
remove the student from the original class

00:04:45.810 --> 00:04:48.420
using the remove from class option.

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:50.650
In this situation, you
can move the student

00:04:50.650 --> 00:04:52.440
from one class to the other

00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:55.743
without the student needing
to take any additional action.

00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.090
If you are no longer a student's teacher,

00:04:59.090 --> 00:05:02.630
select the student's name
and click stop teaching.

00:05:02.630 --> 00:05:05.680
This will remove the student
from all of your class lists

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.330
and disconnect the student's account

00:05:07.330 --> 00:05:09.030
from your teacher account.

00:05:09.030 --> 00:05:10.570
You will no longer have access

00:05:10.570 --> 00:05:12.743
to any of this student's information.

00:05:14.210 --> 00:05:16.680
If you want to clear
an entire class roster

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.260
like you might wanna do at
the end of a school year,

00:05:19.260 --> 00:05:21.340
select the box in the first row

00:05:21.340 --> 00:05:23.710
and then click stop teaching.

00:05:23.710 --> 00:05:26.650
This will remove all the
students in that class.

00:05:26.650 --> 00:05:29.160
Many teachers recommend
doing this over the summer

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.030
in an effort to clean up your
Khan Academy teacher account

00:05:32.030 --> 00:05:35.373
and prevent the accumulation
of students year over year.

00:05:37.890 --> 00:05:40.730
One other rostering tip we'd
like to share with you all.

00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:44.440
Khan Academy student rosters
are automatically alphabetized,

00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:47.650
but student display names
often appear as their usernames

00:05:47.650 --> 00:05:49.700
rather than their real names.

00:05:49.700 --> 00:05:53.220
As a teacher, you can edit the
display name of any student

00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:56.100
by hovering over the
name you want to change

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:59.490
and clicking on the
option edit display name.

00:05:59.490 --> 00:06:03.130
Type a new name, save or
hit Enter and you're done.

00:06:03.130 --> 00:06:06.450
This change will only
occur on your class roster.

00:06:06.450 --> 00:06:08.390
It does not appear on
the student's homepage

00:06:08.390 --> 00:06:10.180
nor will it change the data they use

00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:11.943
to log on to Khan Academy.

00:06:15.070 --> 00:06:16.940
Now that you've completed
the initial setup

00:06:16.940 --> 00:06:18.180
for your classes,

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.030
we know you'll probably
want to adjust them

00:06:20.030 --> 00:06:22.090
in some way during the school year.

00:06:22.090 --> 00:06:23.830
For any changes to the class,

00:06:23.830 --> 00:06:25.970
you want to go to the settings tab.

00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:28.240
Here you can edit the class name,

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.480
change the course or courses,

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.550
update student sync with Google Classroom,

00:06:33.550 --> 00:06:36.680
sign up for a weekly report
on student performance,

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.260
and even delete the class.

00:06:39.260 --> 00:06:41.210
We hope this video helps you get started

00:06:41.210 --> 00:06:43.593
building your own classes on Khan Academy.


Khan for Educators: Basic site navigation

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.460
- Hi, I'm Megan from Khan Academy,

00:00:04.460 --> 00:00:05.410
and in this video,

00:00:05.410 --> 00:00:08.130
we'll browse through
Khan Academy together.

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:10.430
We'll start by logging into the platform,

00:00:10.430 --> 00:00:11.263
and then go through

00:00:11.263 --> 00:00:13.673
some of the key navigation
features together.

00:00:17.210 --> 00:00:18.290
To get started,

00:00:18.290 --> 00:00:20.980
go to khanacademy.org and click teachers

00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:22.810
in the center of the screen.

00:00:22.810 --> 00:00:26.790
If you have an existing Khan
Academy account, select login.

00:00:26.790 --> 00:00:29.000
If you need to create
a Khan Academy account,

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.550
there are four registration options.

00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:33.650
Using Gmail, Clever,

00:00:33.650 --> 00:00:36.670
Facebook or another email account.

00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:39.010
Now you're ready to get started.

00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:40.600
Once you've set up your account,

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.500
you'll start on the teacher dashboard.

00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:45.820
We are now viewing the teacher dashboard,

00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:48.610
which is the homepage for teachers.

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:50.460
If you are seeing a different homepage

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.170
than the teacher dashboard,

00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:53.566
you can adjust your homepage

00:00:53.566 --> 00:00:56.330
to the teacher dashboard in settings.

00:00:56.330 --> 00:00:58.193
Don't worry, we'll get to that soon.

00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:02.120
There are a few important
items on this page.

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:03.190
The courses button,

00:01:03.190 --> 00:01:05.370
which shows Khan Academy's content

00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:08.080
organized by subject and course.

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:08.980
The search bar,

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:11.030
which you can use to find content quickly

00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:13.110
by name or standard.

00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:14.620
The Khan Academy logo,

00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:17.370
it will always take you
to your chosen homepage,

00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:18.760
and the navigation button,

00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.493
which allows you to access
several other pages.

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:24.680
The navigation button,

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.410
which appears as your username,

00:01:26.410 --> 00:01:28.850
can take you to a few essential locations,

00:01:28.850 --> 00:01:31.490
including the learner homepage,

00:01:31.490 --> 00:01:36.490
teacher dashboard, parent
dashboard and settings.

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:43.360
If you want to edit
your basic information,

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.400
you can do this from the settings page

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.440
from the dropdown of
the navigation button.

00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:50.130
From the settings page,

00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:52.770
you can edit basic account information

00:01:52.770 --> 00:01:55.683
like username and primary language.

00:01:57.990 --> 00:01:59.393
Reset your password,

00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:04.180
know which email account
is linked to Khan Academy,

00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:05.750
select your homepage,

00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:06.793
and much more.

00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:12.470
It is important to check if the
teacher function is selected

00:02:12.470 --> 00:02:14.870
because only then will you have access

00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:16.233
to the teacher dashboard.

00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:24.160
We're selecting the teacher dashboard

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:26.070
from the dropdown menu.

00:02:26.070 --> 00:02:29.280
If you'd like to learn more
about the learner homepage,

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.940
check out our video on
the student experience.

00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:34.910
From the teacher dashboard,

00:02:34.910 --> 00:02:38.350
you will find three very important tabs.

00:02:38.350 --> 00:02:42.144
The class tab shows all
of your active classes.

00:02:42.144 --> 00:02:44.100
If you select a class,

00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:48.423
you'll be able to view the
roster, student activity,

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:51.773
mastery progress,

00:02:54.250 --> 00:02:56.383
and assignments for that class.

00:02:58.540 --> 00:03:03.060
We will discuss reports in
more detail in a later lesson.

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:05.860
If we return to the main teacher dashboard

00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:10.000
by selecting the Khan Academy
logo at the top of the page,

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.060
the second tab you will
see is the students tab

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:15.860
on which you can view the
complete list of students

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:17.960
who are connected to your teacher account.

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:20.850
This list contains all of the students

00:03:20.850 --> 00:03:23.440
currently associated with
your teacher account,

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:25.763
regardless of their assigned class.

00:03:27.290 --> 00:03:29.820
Finally, from the main teacher dashboard,

00:03:29.820 --> 00:03:31.980
you can access the resources tab,

00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:35.400
which brings you to teacher
facing materials on Khan Academy

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.313
and also has a shortcut
to Khan for Educators.

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:44.290
We recognize that along
with your students,

00:03:44.290 --> 00:03:46.530
many teachers want to
connect their own children

00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:48.740
to their Khan Academy account.

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:50.230
From the navigation button,

00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:52.490
you can access the parent dashboard

00:03:52.490 --> 00:03:54.100
where parents can add their children

00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:56.370
and create accounts for them,

00:03:56.370 --> 00:03:59.100
in addition to monitoring the
progress they are achieving

00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:00.713
with courses on the platform.

00:04:05.630 --> 00:04:08.460
One last and important thing to point out,

00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:10.943
where to find additional
help if you need it.

00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.710
By clicking help from the
navigation button dropdown menu,

00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:17.380
you have access to a page

00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:19.810
full or resources about Khan Academy.

00:04:19.810 --> 00:04:22.780
Community advice, and you
can even file a request

00:04:22.780 --> 00:04:24.520
for help from our support team

00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:27.263
to resolve any technical
issues that arise.

00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:30.210
We hope this video helps you

00:04:30.210 --> 00:04:32.193
find your way around Khan Academy.


Khan for Educators: Our Content

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:01.940 --> 00:00:04.030
- Hi, I'm Meaghan from Khan Academy,

00:00:04.030 --> 00:00:05.910
and I'm here to share
more about the content

00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:08.250
available on Khan Academy.

00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:11.020
When we talk about
content on Khan Academy,

00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:13.830
what we really mean is
all the videos, articles

00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:17.240
and practice questions that
learners interact with.

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:20.720
We think about all of those
as split into two categories.

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:23.740
The videos and articles
are instructional content,

00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:26.510
and the practice questions
are practice content.

00:00:26.510 --> 00:00:29.560
Taken together, our goal
is to provide learners

00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:31.700
with the ability to learn about anything

00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:34.590
they might encounter in
a K through 12 classroom

00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:36.540
and then practice what they've learned.

00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:39.490
A key part of that practice

00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:41.400
is that they'll get instant feedback

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:42.683
about how they're doing.

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:47.420
Along with work solutions to
help them get back on track

00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:50.193
if they're not quite clear
on a particular concept.

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:53.370
In this video we'll explain the content

00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:55.700
we offer for teachers and students

00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:57.223
and what makes it special.

00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.820
We know many people are familiar

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:02.270
with Khan Academy's great math content.

00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:04.470
But people are often unaware
that the Khan Academy

00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:06.440
has more than math.

00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:08.400
People might be surprised to learn

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.420
that we've recently
launched a beta version

00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:13.050
of our new English Language Arts content.

00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:14.930
Our goal is to eventually cover

00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:18.073
all core academic subjects K through 14.

00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:20.640
We aren't there yet,

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.800
but if you haven't explored beyond math,

00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.010
there are dozens of other courses

00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:28.240
in the sciences, finance and economics

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:29.713
and arts and humanities.

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:32.670
We also have test prep content

00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:35.530
including free official SAT practice,

00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:37.683
created in partnership with College Board,

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.620
and official Praxis Core prep,

00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:42.423
developed in collaboration with ETS.

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:47.720
We absolutely have not
forgotten about math though.

00:01:47.720 --> 00:01:50.730
We recently published a series
of Get ready for grade level

00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:54.080
math courses for 3rd
grade to pre-calculus,

00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:57.333
to best prepare students
for on-grade level courses.

00:01:58.940 --> 00:02:01.440
If you are looking to learn something new,

00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:03.210
you can view all of our courses

00:02:03.210 --> 00:02:05.800
by clicking the dropdown
menu in the top left

00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:07.790
of the Khan Academy website.

00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:10.507
You can also find content to
support learning a new skill

00:02:10.507 --> 00:02:12.460
by using our search function

00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:16.023
to search by skill name or by
Common Core State Standard.

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:21.890
Khan Academy's content is
organized into courses.

00:02:21.890 --> 00:02:24.210
Most of our courses are divided into units

00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:26.930
and within every unit
are multiple lessons.

00:02:26.930 --> 00:02:30.063
Lessons include instructional
and practice resources,

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.600
such as videos, articles and exercises.

00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:37.240
In many courses quizzes combine practice

00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.620
from several preceding lessons.

00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:42.070
Units end with a test
that checks understanding

00:02:42.070 --> 00:02:43.403
of the entire unit.

00:02:45.390 --> 00:02:49.180
Khan Academy has a lot of
content created by a team

00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:51.520
of former teachers and
subject matter experts.

00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.100
Our team ensures that all of
this content is high quality

00:02:55.100 --> 00:02:58.280
by partnering with leading
educational organizations

00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.240
and external experts to
make sure our content

00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.530
is up to date and genuinely
aligned to standards.

00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:07.780
For math, in collaboration
with external reviewers,

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.850
we also tag all content
with regards to rigor

00:03:10.850 --> 00:03:13.060
to be sure we are appropriately balancing

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:16.853
conceptual, procedural
and application content.

00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:20.300
As teachers we know you have many options

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.930
when it comes to using
tools in your classroom.

00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:24.857
So you might be asking yourself,

00:03:24.857 --> 00:03:28.240
"What makes Khan
Academy's content unique?"

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.660
Well, Khan Academy's
content is interactive.

00:03:31.660 --> 00:03:33.850
We have questions that
ask students to read

00:03:33.850 --> 00:03:38.320
and interpret maps, images,
audio and text passages.

00:03:38.320 --> 00:03:40.150
We have interactive charts and graphs

00:03:40.150 --> 00:03:42.490
to teach students to
read and interpret data

00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:45.490
with a variety of
different question types.

00:03:45.490 --> 00:03:48.200
Consider exploring our
content to sample the variety

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:50.410
of practice questions we offer.

00:03:50.410 --> 00:03:53.120
Our content gives instant feedback.

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.600
After answering any
question, students will learn

00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:57.960
is they are corrects or incorrect.

00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.680
Students who are stuck on a problem

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.570
will be provided with support,

00:04:01.570 --> 00:04:04.250
such as related videos and articles,

00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:06.220
hints for solution strategies

00:04:06.220 --> 00:04:09.090
and rationales that explain
why a particular answer

00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:11.450
is correct or incorrect.

00:04:11.450 --> 00:04:14.160
We've heard some teachers
ask if Khan Academy's content

00:04:14.160 --> 00:04:15.940
is student friendly.

00:04:15.940 --> 00:04:18.160
Our content is definitely
students friendly

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.060
and encourages a growth mindset

00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:23.200
by letting students know
that they can learn anything.

00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:25.300
We want students to feel
like they're receiving

00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:27.130
personalized support.

00:04:27.130 --> 00:04:30.380
We model thinking processes
that we hope students will use

00:04:30.380 --> 00:04:32.773
as they ask questions and solve problems.

00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:36.510
We hope this video provides
a look into the content

00:04:36.510 --> 00:04:38.570
available on Khan Academy.

00:04:38.570 --> 00:04:42.280
But we know the best way to
learn more is to experience it.

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:45.983
Choose a topic that inspires
you and explore it firsthand.
