00:00:04.870 --> 00:00:05.950
- Hello all.

00:00:05.950 --> 00:00:08.570
Welcome to seven tips for
effective remote learning

00:00:08.570 --> 00:00:09.773
with Khan Academy.

00:00:13.950 --> 00:00:15.140
My name is Meaghan Pattani

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:17.900
and I head up US Teacher
Education here at Khan Academy

00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:20.520
and I'm joined today
by my colleague Jeremy,

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.823
who leads our teacher success team.

00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:26.440
So, just a little heads up,

00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.010
today, we're gonna be covering
tips and best practices

00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:31.020
for remote teaching and learning.

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:32.780
Again, Jeremy and I are really here

00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:34.870
to help support teachers and students

00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:38.090
as they navigate this
remote learning experience.

00:00:38.090 --> 00:00:40.410
Jeremy and I are both former educators,

00:00:40.410 --> 00:00:42.780
and we've tried to do
our best to put ourselves

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:45.820
in your shoes going through
this very chaotic time.

00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:47.770
And we're gonna try our
best to provide clear

00:00:47.770 --> 00:00:51.750
and actionable steps using
Khan Academy wherever possible.

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:53.950
Just a heads up, today we will not

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:56.800
be covering account setup
or how to get started.

00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:57.960
If you wanna learn more about

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.554
how to get started with Khan Academy.

00:01:00.554 --> 00:01:03.150
I recommend using the link below,

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:05.630
in order to access our quickstart guide.

00:01:05.630 --> 00:01:07.580
If you want a full copy of the slides

00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:09.290
and all the links attached

00:01:09.290 --> 00:01:11.620
in the handouts tab of GoToWebinar,

00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:13.480
you'll find a full copy of the slides

00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:14.923
from today's presentation.

00:01:18.710 --> 00:01:21.590
So, why use Khan Academy
for remote learning?

00:01:21.590 --> 00:01:23.040
Well, Khan Academy is built

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.780
to serve learners anywhere at any time.

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:28.960
You can assign specific
skills to practice,

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:32.440
or you can have students practice
and get instant feedback,

00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:34.430
you're able to keep track
of student progress,

00:01:34.430 --> 00:01:35.730
even when you're not together,

00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:39.020
which right now we know is
more important than ever.

00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:41.030
Khan Academy is built to serve learners,

00:01:41.030 --> 00:01:44.560
anywhere at any time, you don't
necessarily need a computer,

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:45.960
everything students can access

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:48.300
on the web can be
accessed on a smartphone.

00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:49.133
So, if you have students

00:01:49.133 --> 00:01:51.220
with limited access they'll still be able

00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:52.927
to reach valuable content.

00:01:52.927 --> 00:01:54.360
And our content is available

00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:57.260
in over 40 languages and all for free.

00:01:57.260 --> 00:02:01.500
Khan Academy is a nonprofit,
with a goal to support high,

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.393
excuse me, high quality
education for anyone, anywhere.

00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:08.750
So, let's start here,

00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:10.630
and while this may feel
a little bit obvious,

00:02:10.630 --> 00:02:12.280
I think sometimes when teachers

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.960
and students, jump into remote learning

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.750
those valuable communication skills

00:02:16.750 --> 00:02:19.563
that you rely on every
day seem to fall apart.

00:02:20.910 --> 00:02:22.980
So, think about when you
go into your classroom.

00:02:22.980 --> 00:02:24.890
When you walk into your
classroom in the morning,

00:02:24.890 --> 00:02:26.007
you never think, "I'm not gonna talk

00:02:26.007 --> 00:02:27.160
"to my students all day,"

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:29.000
of course you're gonna
communicate with them.

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.750
And for some of your students you

00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:34.510
are the most important relationship
that they have every day

00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:35.910
and so, now more than ever,

00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:39.040
your students are in need
of consistent communication.

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:41.210
So, if you and your
students can connect live,

00:02:41.210 --> 00:02:42.730
absolutely do it,

00:02:42.730 --> 00:02:45.510
even if it's a learning
curve for you and for them

00:02:45.510 --> 00:02:47.240
there's some really great tools out there,

00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:48.823
like Hangouts Meet, which allows teachers

00:02:48.823 --> 00:02:52.250
to give live video lessons
and record them for students

00:02:52.250 --> 00:02:54.920
to watch later, there are
a bunch of other tools

00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:58.210
that are now offering their
video streaming services

00:02:58.210 --> 00:03:00.730
for free, so feel free to take a look

00:03:00.730 --> 00:03:02.650
and have you have the
opportunity to connect

00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:03.540
with your students live,

00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:06.650
I absolutely support taking that dive.

00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:09.170
Let your students know
you're thinking about them.

00:03:09.170 --> 00:03:11.790
So, if you can't connect
live or even if you have time

00:03:11.790 --> 00:03:14.310
beyond that, which I know
is a stretch right now,

00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:17.700
send them a note via email
or an app like ClassDojo.

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:20.030
Find a way to communicate
with your students,

00:03:20.030 --> 00:03:22.140
let them know that you're missing them.

00:03:22.140 --> 00:03:24.390
I think students right
now are really hungry

00:03:24.390 --> 00:03:26.990
for that opportunity for social connection

00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:29.450
and getting a note from you
as a teacher, someone who's

00:03:29.450 --> 00:03:31.760
so meaningful in their lives, telling them

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:32.593
that you missed them

00:03:32.593 --> 00:03:34.760
and how excited you'll
be to see them again,

00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:37.310
it really has a deeper meaning.

00:03:37.310 --> 00:03:40.200
And please, please,
please provide feedback.

00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:42.580
A lot of students have been
given a bunch of work to do

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:44.280
while they're at home.

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.540
But if they're just given
the work with no feedback,

00:03:47.540 --> 00:03:49.720
how do they know that
that work has meaning?

00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:51.900
How do they know that they're
doing things correctly?

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:54.680
So, please, if you've given
your students work to do,

00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.043
while they're remote, make sure

00:03:56.043 --> 00:03:58.883
that you're giving them
qualitative feedback as well.

00:03:59.970 --> 00:04:01.840
Here's a couple of examples we're seeing

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.620
from our teacher community.

00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:05.220
So, the top we have a teacher who says she

00:04:05.220 --> 00:04:07.050
was channeling her inner Sal Khan,

00:04:07.050 --> 00:04:11.110
and she used video chat to
whiteboard live with students

00:04:11.110 --> 00:04:14.350
and down below we have
one of our ambassadors

00:04:14.350 --> 00:04:17.710
who combines Flipgrid
and combines Khan Academy

00:04:17.710 --> 00:04:19.650
and creates videos for his students

00:04:19.650 --> 00:04:21.900
in order to know that
he's thinking about them

00:04:21.900 --> 00:04:24.273
and they and he can
message each other back.

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.510
Then, let's talk about
communication between students

00:04:29.510 --> 00:04:32.100
and between you and their families.

00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:34.860
So, while that communication
between you and your students

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:38.700
is so essential, students
are also missing each other.

00:04:38.700 --> 00:04:41.860
And so, using something
like Google Docs or Slides,

00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:43.450
allowing students to collaborate

00:04:43.450 --> 00:04:46.430
or communicate in real
time around shared problems

00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:48.900
and ideas is a great opportunity.

00:04:48.900 --> 00:04:52.610
We see a lot of teachers,
maybe taking a sample problem,

00:04:52.610 --> 00:04:54.880
so they'll look at Khan
Academy and they see a problem

00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:56.660
that a lot of students
have answered incorrectly

00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:59.790
and they'll throw it on a Google
slide and then each student

00:04:59.790 --> 00:05:02.920
can add a subsequent
slide showing their work

00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.680
on how they would solve the problem,

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.067
and students can leave comments saying,

00:05:07.067 --> 00:05:09.840
"Oh that's what I missed," or "Great job,"

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:12.740
so that way your students
are still able to collaborate

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:15.383
in a way similar to what
they would do in class.

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.370
Also don't forget about
parents and families.

00:05:19.370 --> 00:05:20.203
Right?

00:05:20.203 --> 00:05:23.530
Many of you I'm sure are now
becoming both a full time,

00:05:23.530 --> 00:05:25.700
stay at home parent and a full time work

00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:28.960
from home teacher and so, think about some

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:31.550
of those other families
who are in your shoes.

00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:34.310
We're all working remotely
on this journey together,

00:05:34.310 --> 00:05:37.260
and if possible try and reach
out to one family per week

00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:40.150
just to share something their
student might be doing well

00:05:40.150 --> 00:05:42.490
or something, you know,
know about their students

00:05:42.490 --> 00:05:44.170
that's really exciting.

00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:45.660
And don't hesitate to let parents

00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:47.680
and guardians know how
much you appreciate them

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:48.930
for supporting their child

00:05:48.930 --> 00:05:51.080
through this process of remote learning.

00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:53.590
This is a really hard jump for parents

00:05:53.590 --> 00:05:54.970
and to get a little high five

00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:56.157
from the teacher saying, "You know what,

00:05:56.157 --> 00:05:58.730
"you're really doing a great
job putting that effort in,"

00:05:58.730 --> 00:06:00.983
that can make a huge, huge difference.

00:06:03.310 --> 00:06:05.240
And don't forget each other, right?

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.350
I'm so excited to see so
many people on here today

00:06:08.350 --> 00:06:10.870
because we really are stronger together

00:06:10.870 --> 00:06:12.980
and don't forget to reach
out to your other teachers.

00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:14.410
Teachers you work with daily

00:06:14.410 --> 00:06:16.820
that you're used to communicating with,

00:06:16.820 --> 00:06:18.980
members of maybe your
peer learning community,

00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:21.090
and just your teacher
friends, they're going

00:06:21.090 --> 00:06:22.720
through this transition as well,

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.750
so don't hesitate to share best practices,

00:06:25.750 --> 00:06:27.590
or just check in on each other

00:06:27.590 --> 00:06:28.520
and if you're looking for a way

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:30.740
to communicate with them,
use some of the same tools

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:32.740
you're already using with your students.

00:06:34.700 --> 00:06:38.203
Number two, choose the best
tools, and stay with them.

00:06:39.533 --> 00:06:41.850
Just the tools that are best
for you and your students.

00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:45.060
There's a lot of noise right
now around digital tools,

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:46.970
and there's all sorts
of things you can use

00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:48.320
for remote learning.

00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:51.020
But you know your classroom boss.

00:06:51.020 --> 00:06:53.720
So, start with things that
you've already been using.

00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.610
If you've been using
Khan Academy all year.

00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:56.443
Great.

00:06:56.443 --> 00:06:58.340
Please keep using us.

00:06:58.340 --> 00:07:00.060
If you are looking for new tools,

00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:02.780
take what fits you and your students.

00:07:02.780 --> 00:07:05.150
I don't know your classroom
better than you do,

00:07:05.150 --> 00:07:06.870
and neither does anyone else.

00:07:06.870 --> 00:07:10.910
And so, find what fits
your students use that.

00:07:10.910 --> 00:07:14.400
And make sure you're not
switching it every day, every week

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:15.580
because students, we want them

00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:17.600
to focus on what they're
learning, we want them

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.190
to learn new skills in math
or English language arts

00:07:21.190 --> 00:07:23.000
or foreign languages.

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.470
We don't want them worried
about stress over new tools.

00:07:26.470 --> 00:07:28.883
So, if you find what's
right stick with it.

00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:33.853
Number three, keep a schedule.

00:07:34.930 --> 00:07:38.670
And we know this is much
easier said than done.

00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:41.710
But sticking to consistent
times for working and connecting

00:07:41.710 --> 00:07:43.970
with students is really important.

00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:47.210
And as we're trying to keep
schedules for students,

00:07:47.210 --> 00:07:49.690
we also wanna try and keep
schedules for ourselves.

00:07:49.690 --> 00:07:53.260
It helps give a rhythm to the
day and to our organization.

00:07:53.260 --> 00:07:56.330
So, find times for you to lesson plan,

00:07:56.330 --> 00:08:00.190
connect with students, find
times for you to take a break.

00:08:00.190 --> 00:08:01.810
And if you're looking for examples

00:08:01.810 --> 00:08:04.950
because this is a really big
adventure for a lot of us,

00:08:04.950 --> 00:08:06.470
we've got you covered.

00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:08.780
Sal Khan has put together key schedules

00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:10.430
for all different age groups.

00:08:10.430 --> 00:08:13.270
So, you'll see on your
screen right now, an example

00:08:13.270 --> 00:08:16.080
for our elementary school
students, an example

00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:17.980
for our middle school students and example

00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:19.700
for our high school students.

00:08:19.700 --> 00:08:21.670
What should you be thinking about?

00:08:21.670 --> 00:08:23.360
What might your students need?

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.030
And you'll see this is not just sit

00:08:25.030 --> 00:08:27.410
in front of their
computer for eight hours,

00:08:27.410 --> 00:08:29.420
things like getting outside and playing,

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:31.530
finding time to read and reflect,

00:08:31.530 --> 00:08:33.600
all of those things are there for them.

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.970
And definitely teachers are
great at adapting resources.

00:08:36.970 --> 00:08:38.470
So, if this is a great base for you,

00:08:38.470 --> 00:08:40.253
take it and make it your own.

00:08:43.230 --> 00:08:45.970
Number four, support independent learning.

00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:48.010
And I know a lot of us are always trying

00:08:48.010 --> 00:08:50.740
to find ways for our
students to gain independence

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:54.230
and really take ownership
and agency of their learning.

00:08:54.230 --> 00:08:57.150
And so, with remote opportunities we

00:08:57.150 --> 00:09:00.350
can encourage our students
to really take hold of that

00:09:00.350 --> 00:09:02.250
and to master new skills.

00:09:02.250 --> 00:09:06.540
So, using Khan Academy's mastery
system, students can set,

00:09:06.540 --> 00:09:09.800
students can use mastery
goals to work below, on,

00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:11.690
or above grade levels, and students

00:09:11.690 --> 00:09:13.380
can move at their own pace.

00:09:13.380 --> 00:09:16.460
They're always welcome to
go back and review content

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:18.260
or move ahead.

00:09:18.260 --> 00:09:20.120
They can even work on subjects

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.130
outside what they would normally
do inside your classroom.

00:09:23.130 --> 00:09:25.050
Some teachers might encourage students

00:09:25.050 --> 00:09:27.550
to move a course below or course ahead

00:09:27.550 --> 00:09:30.750
in the same content area, or
I even know one math teacher

00:09:30.750 --> 00:09:33.830
who wants students to master
their grade level in math,

00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:37.121
encourage them to find something
that they're passionate

00:09:37.121 --> 00:09:39.821
about and really dive into
master skills in that area.

00:09:40.690 --> 00:09:43.670
So, encourage your students
to take a little ownership

00:09:43.670 --> 00:09:47.160
of their learning now and
move ahead, or review concepts

00:09:47.160 --> 00:09:50.000
that make them feel really
competent in their learning.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.620
and if you're looking for more guidance

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:53.340
on how to tactically do this,

00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:55.510
the link at the bottom of
this slide will take you

00:09:55.510 --> 00:09:57.210
to a how-to article

00:09:57.210 --> 00:10:00.653
on setting up course mastery
goals for your students.

00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:07.550
And this here is just a quick
animation, so for those of you

00:10:07.550 --> 00:10:10.410
that are familiar with
the Khan Academy platform,

00:10:10.410 --> 00:10:12.980
if you go to your teacher dashboard

00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:16.500
and into your class, course
mastery on the left hand side,

00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:20.620
as you see the image doing,
click placement and create goal.

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:22.400
Again, I highly recommend,

00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:23.780
if you'd like to do
this with your students,

00:10:23.780 --> 00:10:25.860
you access the article
and it will take you

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:27.713
step by step through the process.

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.483
Number five, motivate your students.

00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:35.617
Now, I know a lot of you are thinking,

00:10:35.617 --> 00:10:37.617
"This is hard enough to do in person.

00:10:37.617 --> 00:10:38.857
"How am I supposed to do this

00:10:38.857 --> 00:10:41.507
"when I don't even get to
see my students every day?"

00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:46.840
Well, we know, motivation is
hard, and it's even harder now.

00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.020
So, one thing we recommend
is setting clear goals.

00:10:50.020 --> 00:10:51.910
And maybe you had goals before,

00:10:51.910 --> 00:10:54.660
but use this as a great
opportunity to revisit them.

00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:56.850
Or maybe as a class you wanna set goals

00:10:56.850 --> 00:10:58.030
for while you're remote.

00:10:58.030 --> 00:11:01.300
What is something that we
as a class can achieve?

00:11:01.300 --> 00:11:03.750
And include your students in the process.

00:11:03.750 --> 00:11:06.570
Students really love being
part of their own learning.

00:11:06.570 --> 00:11:09.260
So, often do we get the question,
"Why am I learning this?"

00:11:09.260 --> 00:11:12.020
well include your students
in the conversation

00:11:12.020 --> 00:11:14.993
either make them individual
or as an entire class.

00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:19.080
Focus on what they wanna
achieve in this time period,

00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.640
and then communicate that back

00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:22.650
with the student and with families.

00:11:22.650 --> 00:11:24.960
Again, think back to
our earlier conversation

00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.980
around communication,
involve families, tell them

00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:30.420
what your students are working towards.

00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:32.520
And if you want more information, again,

00:11:32.520 --> 00:11:34.630
these links are all
included in the slides,

00:11:34.630 --> 00:11:36.440
and the handout tab of GoToWebinar

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.880
and will be included in a follow up email.

00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:41.330
I recommend using that link
to learn a little bit more

00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:42.450
about mastery goals

00:11:42.450 --> 00:11:44.863
and why we recommend
using them with students.

00:11:46.330 --> 00:11:49.430
And don't forget to recognize milestones.

00:11:49.430 --> 00:11:52.300
Right, in the classroom
if students perform well,

00:11:52.300 --> 00:11:54.720
if they do well on an
individual assignment

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.100
or they're showing growth

00:11:56.100 --> 00:11:59.040
or perseverance, we recognize that

00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:02.130
and really make our
students really celebrated.

00:12:02.130 --> 00:12:03.880
Well, it's a little bit trickier, we know,

00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:05.240
to do at a distance.

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.870
And so, why don't you try
recommending a, you know,

00:12:08.870 --> 00:12:12.330
virtual certificate of achievement
or a celebratory video.

00:12:12.330 --> 00:12:15.640
Things like Flipgrid, allow
you to do quick free videos

00:12:15.640 --> 00:12:18.580
to students, if you're looking
for certificates related

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:20.570
to Khan Academy we've got you covered

00:12:20.570 --> 00:12:21.600
that link will take you

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.193
to a handful of Khan Academy certificates,

00:12:23.193 --> 00:12:25.160
that you can share digitally
with your students,

00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:27.540
and they come in a variety of languages.

00:12:27.540 --> 00:12:30.333
So, they should reach a fair
number of your students.

00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:36.260
This one's a pretty big
one and I think this is one

00:12:36.260 --> 00:12:39.480
that adults just as much as
kids are struggling with.

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.830
Is recognize the emotional impact,

00:12:41.830 --> 00:12:44.130
that everything that's
going around right now.

00:12:45.020 --> 00:12:48.350
Remote learning is about
more than just curriculum.

00:12:48.350 --> 00:12:49.840
I think we've seen a lot in the media

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.340
over the past couple weeks

00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:53.820
about how students are gonna keep learning

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:56.200
and keep hitting goals and those things.

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.680
It's more than just curriculum.

00:12:57.680 --> 00:12:59.810
You as a teacher know that being a teacher

00:12:59.810 --> 00:13:02.780
is not just about reaching a standard.

00:13:02.780 --> 00:13:05.580
So, make sure that as we're
going through and worrying

00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:08.070
about all the things
students have to learn

00:13:08.070 --> 00:13:10.270
that we take a moment to pause

00:13:10.270 --> 00:13:11.960
and think about the emotional impact

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.010
this is having on our
students and our communities.

00:13:15.010 --> 00:13:17.960
And some teachers recommend
switching out an assignment,

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.420
and instead of replacing
it with an opportunity

00:13:20.420 --> 00:13:24.140
for students to write and
reflect on what's going on.

00:13:24.140 --> 00:13:26.210
Maybe you have a question for discussion,

00:13:26.210 --> 00:13:29.220
or maybe just open reflection and, again,

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:31.880
thinking back on some of the
things we talked about earlier,

00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:33.440
using a tool like Google Docs,

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.730
and students can share that

00:13:34.730 --> 00:13:36.970
and leave supportive
comments to each other.

00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:40.910
So, you're giving students
an opportunity to reflect

00:13:40.910 --> 00:13:42.760
on the emotional toll

00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:45.410
that this experience is having on them,

00:13:45.410 --> 00:13:47.220
and allowing them an opportunity

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:50.370
to communicate with each
other and be supportive,

00:13:50.370 --> 00:13:52.870
even when they can't be
with each other in person.

00:13:54.570 --> 00:13:55.860
Express gratitude.

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:58.060
I think this is the
thing we can all work on,

00:13:58.060 --> 00:13:59.810
I know I certainly can

00:13:59.810 --> 00:14:03.080
with our students and our
communities in general.

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.650
But taking a moment to, you
know, send a brief email,

00:14:06.650 --> 00:14:09.590
or, again, a message in
something like ClassDojo

00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:11.600
to encourage teachers and students

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.610
to share their appreciation.

00:14:13.610 --> 00:14:16.750
Students who are still completing
all of their assignments,

00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:18.710
or maybe reaching out to
you for something more

00:14:18.710 --> 00:14:20.850
or students who are asking for help.

00:14:20.850 --> 00:14:23.130
Obviously it's gonna take
them an extra bit of effort

00:14:23.130 --> 00:14:24.870
for them to ask for help right now.

00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:27.900
Recognize and appreciate
the effort your students

00:14:27.900 --> 00:14:30.050
are putting in and I bet you'll see

00:14:30.050 --> 00:14:31.750
a lot of that returned back.

00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:34.920
At a school I worked at
we used to have an option

00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:37.730
where we would send five
messages to students once a week,

00:14:37.730 --> 00:14:40.310
or five messages to students
families once a week,

00:14:40.310 --> 00:14:42.290
and it was just a way
to recognize students

00:14:42.290 --> 00:14:44.490
and let their families know
that we appreciate them

00:14:44.490 --> 00:14:46.190
and the things our students are doing,

00:14:46.190 --> 00:14:48.120
and not just your high achievers.

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:49.530
You know, across the board, students

00:14:49.530 --> 00:14:52.400
that are doing something, even
if it's not academic based,

00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:54.380
that you really wanna recognize that,

00:14:54.380 --> 00:14:57.110
and then you'll get a lot of
really supportive things back,

00:14:57.110 --> 00:14:59.400
I promise you, and how much families

00:14:59.400 --> 00:15:01.180
and students appreciate all the time

00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:03.380
and effort you're putting in right now

00:15:03.380 --> 00:15:04.580
and throughout the year.

00:15:05.890 --> 00:15:08.670
Also, remote learning
and that emotional piece

00:15:08.670 --> 00:15:12.470
is not just about the
students, it's about you too.

00:15:12.470 --> 00:15:13.460
And I think we've seen a lot

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:15.480
about the effect it's having on students,

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.560
but don't forget, this is really hard

00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:19.760
and this is a lot to take in at once.

00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:21.390
So, be honest with yourself

00:15:21.390 --> 00:15:22.770
and be honest with your students.

00:15:22.770 --> 00:15:25.310
Share with your students,
and let them know it's okay

00:15:25.310 --> 00:15:27.720
to struggle with a new
tool or a new concept.

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.960
I can tell you the team
here at Khan Academy.

00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:31.540
We've been trying to learn new tools,

00:15:31.540 --> 00:15:33.930
all week so that we can reach all of you.

00:15:33.930 --> 00:15:36.210
And when we opened up
about how we're struggling

00:15:36.210 --> 00:15:37.380
to learn these tools,

00:15:37.380 --> 00:15:38.677
it was great to hear everybody else say,

00:15:38.677 --> 00:15:40.310
"You know what, me too."

00:15:40.310 --> 00:15:43.477
And so, it's okay to open up
with your students and say,

00:15:43.477 --> 00:15:44.700
"This is a lot to take in."

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:47.557
"There's a lot to learn
and it's okay to struggle,

00:15:47.557 --> 00:15:49.590
"and we're gonna get through it together,"

00:15:49.590 --> 00:15:51.380
and if you're looking
for additional resources

00:15:51.380 --> 00:15:53.410
on things like that, please feel free

00:15:53.410 --> 00:15:56.310
to check out our content on growth mindset

00:15:56.310 --> 00:15:57.940
and it's a great starting point

00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:59.840
to talk about productive struggle

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.703
and things like that with students.

00:16:04.010 --> 00:16:05.630
Last but certainly not least,

00:16:05.630 --> 00:16:06.990
and I think this ties in, right,

00:16:06.990 --> 00:16:09.150
with recognizing the emotional piece.

00:16:09.150 --> 00:16:12.143
Is cut yourself and
your students, a break.

00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:15.080
Be realistic.

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.460
You are not gonna cover
everything you would class

00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:20.270
and you know what, that's okay.

00:16:20.270 --> 00:16:23.510
And so, to take a step back and
realize that you are putting

00:16:23.510 --> 00:16:26.830
in the effort to keep your
students mentally engaged

00:16:26.830 --> 00:16:29.630
is a huge achievement in and of itself.

00:16:29.630 --> 00:16:31.950
So, if you need to choose
a couple of key standards

00:16:31.950 --> 00:16:34.470
or concepts to focus on, think about

00:16:34.470 --> 00:16:37.460
what are the most essential
for students to understand.

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:40.090
Most of our teachers are
recommending two or three a week

00:16:40.090 --> 00:16:42.000
for students to work on and you know what,

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.480
if one week you only
get to one, that's okay.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.500
Again, cut yourself some
slack, none of this is easy

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:49.850
and as you transition

00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:52.000
and as you and your students
get more comfortable,

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.510
you'll find that you can get more done.

00:16:54.510 --> 00:16:55.920
And so, again, if you're thinking

00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:58.800
about those two or
three concepts per week.

00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:01.360
If you wanna use
assignments on Khan Academy.

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.410
Most teachers have told us that three

00:17:03.410 --> 00:17:06.730
to five assignments per
week covers the right amount

00:17:06.730 --> 00:17:09.990
of content for about two to
three, you know, standards

00:17:09.990 --> 00:17:13.410
or concepts and reaches about
30 to 45 minutes per week

00:17:13.410 --> 00:17:17.230
on Khan Academy and we
found that that benchmark

00:17:17.230 --> 00:17:20.360
is really, really important
for students to see growth

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.480
and if you're looking
for more on assignments.

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.470
Again, please utilize these
slides after the presentation

00:17:26.470 --> 00:17:28.640
and that link will take you to a video

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.293
on how to create assignments
using Khan Academy.

00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:35.880
And now I wanna make sure
we have time to open it up

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.800
to questions and if you want
to have anything more specific

00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.450
or you're having trouble with
any of the technical pieces,

00:17:42.450 --> 00:17:46.190
please reach out to our Help
Center, again, a link here

00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:49.340
and feel free to share these
slides with other educators,

00:17:49.340 --> 00:17:52.500
and if you wanna share feedback,
please let us know as well.

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:55.580
We are trying to gather as
much information from educators

00:17:55.580 --> 00:17:57.990
and teachers like yourself
about what they're doing,

00:17:57.990 --> 00:17:59.280
that's working well and what

00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:01.070
has been a really great learning for them,

00:18:01.070 --> 00:18:03.690
that they wish they could
share with other teachers.

00:18:03.690 --> 00:18:05.040
So, I'm gonna pause here

00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:06.980
and I'm gonna reach out to Jeremy,

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:09.560
and Jeremy is gonna share
a couple of our questions

00:18:09.560 --> 00:18:10.593
that are coming in.

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.870
- [Jeremy] All right, so, first of all,

00:18:12.870 --> 00:18:15.910
thank you so much Meaghan,
for leading us here.

00:18:15.910 --> 00:18:17.410
Bill actually says.

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:40.980
- [Meaghan] And if you
look here you'll see,

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:43.770
total learning minutes,
skills leveled up and skills

00:21:43.770 --> 00:21:46.210
without progress, so this shows
the total learning minutes

00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:48.510
for each of my students so
I can get a quick glance

00:21:48.510 --> 00:21:51.040
at how long my students
have spent on the site

00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:52.590
and then in terms of their skills,

00:21:52.590 --> 00:21:54.390
how many they've leveled up,

00:21:54.390 --> 00:21:56.200
and how many they have
not made progress on

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.760
which means they either level down

00:21:57.760 --> 00:21:59.710
or they've stayed at the same level.

00:21:59.710 --> 00:22:02.023
If I click on an individual student,

00:22:03.090 --> 00:22:05.840
here I'll be able to
see my exercise minutes,

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:07.170
and my total learning minutes,

00:22:07.170 --> 00:22:09.700
so these are the two
numbers I was referencing.

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:12.770
77 is the total learning
minutes I spent on site

00:22:12.770 --> 00:22:14.290
on any content.

00:22:14.290 --> 00:22:16.480
Whereas the 28 minutes are the minutes

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.070
that I've spent engaged with questions.

00:22:19.070 --> 00:22:22.360
And so, for all of your students
you'll be able to see that

00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:26.410
and for each activity on this
individual student report,

00:22:26.410 --> 00:22:27.850
you'll be able to see exactly

00:22:27.850 --> 00:22:31.400
how many minutes they've
spent on each of these items.

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.970
As you can see this is a demo account

00:22:32.970 --> 00:22:35.700
so there's not a lot here,
but that you'd be able

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:39.053
to see how much time
they've spent on each item.

00:22:40.250 --> 00:22:41.782
- [Jeremy] Cool, thank you so much Claire

00:22:41.782 --> 00:22:42.722
for that great question

00:22:42.722 --> 00:22:45.940
and thanks Meaghan for showing
us exactly where to find it.

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:48.000
Let's step back from the
technology for a second.

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.237
Another question says,
"what are some of the norms

00:22:50.237 --> 00:22:51.737
"that we can set up for virtual learning?"

00:22:51.737 --> 00:22:54.027
"We all have rules and guidelines

00:22:54.027 --> 00:22:55.677
"in our physical classrooms,

00:22:55.677 --> 00:22:57.487
"how do we bring that
same sense of culture

00:22:57.487 --> 00:22:59.907
"and expectations to the
virtual environment?"

00:23:00.760 --> 00:23:02.350
- [Meaghan] Yeah, I think
it's a really great question

00:23:02.350 --> 00:23:06.180
and a really important one, I
think, what happens sometimes

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:08.960
is that a lot of teachers
as they move digital,

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.020
forget that those same concepts apply.

00:23:12.020 --> 00:23:14.970
Things like, you know, class
management and class culture

00:23:14.970 --> 00:23:16.430
are still really valuable

00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:19.160
and in some cases even more valuable now.

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.070
So, for example, if you decide to go live

00:23:22.070 --> 00:23:22.903
with your students,

00:23:22.903 --> 00:23:26.060
like a fair number of
teachers we know are,

00:23:26.060 --> 00:23:27.970
set up the first time you're doing it

00:23:27.970 --> 00:23:31.000
or if you haven't had an
opportunity, start Monday.

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.960
Take what you would think of
as your norms and expectations

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.370
and display them to your
students and go through them.

00:23:38.370 --> 00:23:40.400
If you're not sure what
your norms feel right

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.290
for your classroom, make it an opportunity

00:23:42.290 --> 00:23:45.130
for an interactive
activity with your students

00:23:45.130 --> 00:23:47.240
again, you can do it
in a discussion format,

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.060
if you're using something
like Hangouts Meets,

00:23:49.060 --> 00:23:50.360
students can put suggestions

00:23:50.360 --> 00:23:52.450
in the chat on the right hand side.

00:23:52.450 --> 00:23:53.530
If you're using something

00:23:53.530 --> 00:23:57.070
where students can post
comments, or post votes,

00:23:57.070 --> 00:23:59.450
allow them to choose
what should be our norms.

00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:03.060
Should our norms be that anyone
can add to the chat at once?

00:24:03.060 --> 00:24:06.750
Should our norms be that we
need to raise a hand icon

00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:09.170
if we wanna contribute
to the class discussion?

00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:14.170
Should our norms be that we
only meet live twice a week?

00:24:14.250 --> 00:24:16.570
I think that really
involving your students

00:24:16.570 --> 00:24:20.550
in what should be those norms
now that you've gone digital,

00:24:20.550 --> 00:24:22.400
that should be an opportunity for you.

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.500
If you feel really comfortable
and know what the norms

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:26.300
should be for your classroom already,

00:24:26.300 --> 00:24:28.620
make sure you're communicating those well,

00:24:28.620 --> 00:24:31.200
and make sure that you're
following through on them,

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.490
they're really easy to get off task.

00:24:33.490 --> 00:24:36.900
So, for example, when I would
work remote with students,

00:24:36.900 --> 00:24:38.680
one of the things that
I would say is enormous,

00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.410
I would close off all of my social tabs

00:24:41.410 --> 00:24:42.710
while I was in class.

00:24:42.710 --> 00:24:45.220
If I was teaching my class remotely,

00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:48.730
then that was where my focus
was, and so, making sure

00:24:48.730 --> 00:24:52.210
that my cell phone was on
silent and that my, you know,

00:24:52.210 --> 00:24:55.920
twitter feed was muted, and
things like that, so making,

00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:58.540
if that's the norm, make sure
you're modeling that behavior

00:24:58.540 --> 00:24:59.373
for your students.

00:24:59.373 --> 00:25:01.500
You're not on your hangout

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:04.420
or your video, you know,
distracted by something else,

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:07.690
which I know that example
can be easier said than done.

00:25:07.690 --> 00:25:10.180
But, again, setting those norms,

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:12.600
communicating them
clearly and modeling them,

00:25:12.600 --> 00:25:14.010
tends to be a really helpful for,

00:25:14.010 --> 00:25:16.600
and, again, if you're able to do that,

00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:19.250
then your students will be
encouraged to do the same.

00:25:20.206 --> 00:25:21.840
- [Jeremy] Cool, and
speaking of modeling Meaghan,

00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:23.450
I think hopefully what we're seeing

00:25:23.450 --> 00:25:25.710
through this webinar
today is what's possible

00:25:25.710 --> 00:25:27.280
for your own students.

00:25:27.280 --> 00:25:29.810
They use a tool like GoToWebinar or Zoom

00:25:29.810 --> 00:25:32.510
or Google Meetings or whatever
your district provides,

00:25:32.510 --> 00:25:35.550
you always have the ability
to have questions, chat,

00:25:35.550 --> 00:25:38.050
even live polls kinda like a Kahoot! baked

00:25:38.050 --> 00:25:39.130
into your webinar,

00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:42.150
so there are often lots of
ways to keep students engaged,

00:25:42.150 --> 00:25:44.090
even in a tough learning environment.

00:25:44.090 --> 00:25:46.350
- [Meaghan] Yeah, I would
double down on that too, Jeremy,

00:25:46.350 --> 00:25:48.660
as you think about this, again,

00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:50.810
as someone mentioned the
hope was to share some tools

00:25:50.810 --> 00:25:53.050
that go beyond the scope of Khan Academy

00:25:53.050 --> 00:25:55.630
and that we really can can give some ideas

00:25:55.630 --> 00:25:58.510
as you take this remote
learning adventure.

00:25:58.510 --> 00:26:01.770
And don't be afraid to mix
and match your tools together.

00:26:01.770 --> 00:26:04.170
So, when I was teaching,

00:26:04.170 --> 00:26:07.350
some of my students really
enjoyed combining a video tool,

00:26:07.350 --> 00:26:08.760
so they would be on live camera

00:26:08.760 --> 00:26:10.590
with each other with Kahoot!,

00:26:10.590 --> 00:26:12.740
so that that way they were
doing review questions

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:15.210
and they were doing it in a social way,

00:26:15.210 --> 00:26:17.650
but they were all in
their own homes at night

00:26:17.650 --> 00:26:21.600
and so, don't be afraid to try something.

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:25.320
And, again, take these tips
as guidance and fit them.

00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:27.810
Right, teachers are
great at adapting things

00:26:27.810 --> 00:26:28.780
to their own classrooms,

00:26:28.780 --> 00:26:30.660
so don't be afraid to take, you know,

00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:33.160
tools you're already using
and adapting some of the tips

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.010
that we've share to fit you best.

00:26:36.010 --> 00:26:36.993
- [Jeremy] Cool, so, another

00:26:36.993 --> 00:26:38.660
sort of psychological question here,

00:26:38.660 --> 00:26:41.517
and this coming in from
Maddie, Maddie says,

00:26:41.517 --> 00:26:43.467
"How do I actually encourage my students

00:26:43.467 --> 00:26:45.767
"to complete Khan Academy assignments,

00:26:45.767 --> 00:26:47.989
"given they don't have
that in person contact

00:26:47.989 --> 00:26:50.740
"and the ability to
motivate them, day to day?"

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:52.280
- [Meaghan] Yeah, great question.

00:26:52.280 --> 00:26:55.370
So, a couple of things are
built into the platform

00:26:55.370 --> 00:26:57.300
and let me show you just in case you,

00:26:57.300 --> 00:26:59.850
for those who might be
a little less familiar

00:26:59.850 --> 00:27:02.370
with the Khan Academy experience.

00:27:02.370 --> 00:27:05.930
On every course for Khan
Academy, this mastery enabled,

00:27:05.930 --> 00:27:08.060
you'll see that each of these

00:27:08.060 --> 00:27:11.100
offer kind of a gamification
piece where students

00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:15.370
are earning mastery points
for achieving progress

00:27:15.370 --> 00:27:18.810
on skills, lessons and units and so,

00:27:18.810 --> 00:27:21.470
as students work through content

00:27:21.470 --> 00:27:24.120
and I'm gonna jump into a unit here.

00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:27.150
As students work through material,

00:27:27.150 --> 00:27:30.130
they'll see their levels
go up and their skills move

00:27:30.130 --> 00:27:31.480
to mastered and they'll see

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:34.960
these little icons start to fill out.

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.930
And so, as they do this
they earn mastery points

00:27:37.930 --> 00:27:40.680
and badges and they can
upgrade their avatars

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.350
on their own profile page.

00:27:42.350 --> 00:27:45.200
So, there are some
gamification pieces built

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.140
into Khan Academy.

00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:48.960
We know that works for some students,

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.040
and definitely not for all.

00:27:51.040 --> 00:27:53.857
And so, again to the question of,

00:27:53.857 --> 00:27:56.867
"I'm not there in person I
can't put my chart on my wall,

00:27:56.867 --> 00:27:59.287
"I can't throw a pizza
party for my students.

00:27:59.287 --> 00:28:01.610
"What else can I do?"

00:28:01.610 --> 00:28:05.010
And so, what we recommend
is trying some of,

00:28:05.010 --> 00:28:06.920
building on some of those same concepts

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.960
that work well in person
for your students,

00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.710
try adapting them with some
of the tools you're using

00:28:12.710 --> 00:28:15.270
and making them, you know, remote.

00:28:15.270 --> 00:28:18.880
So, if your students are
really encouraged by things

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.110
like certificates or homework
passes and things like that,

00:28:22.110 --> 00:28:26.400
again, we have a portfolio of
certificates, we can share.

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.120
But don't let that limit
you, feel free to, you know,

00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:31.390
recognize students with certificates

00:28:31.390 --> 00:28:34.470
and if you can share
them digitally via email

00:28:34.470 --> 00:28:36.980
or a message app through
something like ClassDojo,

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:40.380
that works really well, or
even if you got to the point

00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:41.950
where you could mail them to students

00:28:41.950 --> 00:28:43.300
and they can recognize that

00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:45.690
and show their class,
either by sharing maybe

00:28:45.690 --> 00:28:46.777
through your Google Classroom,

00:28:46.777 --> 00:28:49.870
"Hey, I got this great
certificate from my teacher,"

00:28:49.870 --> 00:28:52.530
or you know, if some
teachers prefer things

00:28:52.530 --> 00:28:55.747
like video messages, like,
using Flipgrid to show,

00:28:55.747 --> 00:28:57.817
"Hey, this is what my
students have done this week,

00:28:57.817 --> 00:28:59.310
"I'm really proud of them."

00:28:59.310 --> 00:29:02.100
Even some simple things
are really inspiring

00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:04.070
like putting your, you know, pet

00:29:04.070 --> 00:29:06.470
or your own children
getting really excited

00:29:06.470 --> 00:29:09.060
about something they've
done or doing a silly dance,

00:29:09.060 --> 00:29:11.520
we have a teacher that we
work really closely with,

00:29:11.520 --> 00:29:15.060
and he celebrates his students
by doing really, you know,

00:29:15.060 --> 00:29:16.610
things that sound really
terrible as an adult,

00:29:16.610 --> 00:29:18.170
like walking on Legos

00:29:18.170 --> 00:29:20.950
or things like putting pie in his face.

00:29:20.950 --> 00:29:23.143
Recording yourself doing some
of these really funny things

00:29:23.143 --> 00:29:25.700
that you can still do
while in your own home

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:28.997
and sharing them to students,
"If you reach this goal

00:29:28.997 --> 00:29:31.087
"I will do this thing, put it on a video

00:29:31.087 --> 00:29:32.470
"and share it with you,"

00:29:32.470 --> 00:29:34.210
showing that you're staying committed

00:29:34.210 --> 00:29:37.280
to learning just as much
as your students are.

00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:41.290
- [Jeremy] Cool, I wanna
share this comment from Linda,

00:29:41.290 --> 00:29:43.627
which was, "That I know, I
thought I was the only one

00:29:43.627 --> 00:29:44.747
"who was feeling overwhelmed.

00:29:44.747 --> 00:29:47.230
"I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone."

00:29:47.230 --> 00:29:48.710
So, Linda and everyone else out there know

00:29:48.710 --> 00:29:50.410
that we are totally in the same boat.

00:29:50.410 --> 00:29:52.820
Meaghan and I are both former
teachers, current parents

00:29:52.820 --> 00:29:55.700
with our own kids at home,
so we absolutely feel

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:57.960
what you're going through and
want to do anything we can

00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.400
to support you during this tough time.

00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:02.190
That being said, I do wanna
call out, 'cause there

00:30:02.190 --> 00:30:03.590
are a lot of questions coming in on this,

00:30:03.590 --> 00:30:04.860
on the question line,

00:30:04.860 --> 00:30:06.670
that this is all being recorded,

00:30:06.670 --> 00:30:09.040
it'll be available in
your email automatically

00:30:09.040 --> 00:30:11.860
in about three hours after
the recording is processed,

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:13.760
you will get that no questions asked.

00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:15.500
You can also grab all the slides

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:17.170
that Meaghan's already shared right now

00:30:17.170 --> 00:30:18.640
in the handout section

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:19.940
and if you can't find that don't worry,

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:22.150
it'll also be included in the
email coming in three hours,

00:30:22.150 --> 00:30:24.550
so one way or another, you'll
get access to all this,

00:30:24.550 --> 00:30:26.820
and yes you can absolutely
share it with anyone.

00:30:26.820 --> 00:30:29.247
Okay, Mina wants to ask

00:30:29.247 --> 00:30:31.177
"When you're sort of talking
about sort of the time

00:30:31.177 --> 00:30:32.977
"on Khan Academy per week,

00:30:32.977 --> 00:30:35.177
"were you recommending 30
to 45 minutes per week?

00:30:35.177 --> 00:30:37.270
"What was the recommendation again there?"

00:30:37.270 --> 00:30:39.140
- [Meaghan] Yeah, so, when we talk about,

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:41.910
a lot of times we've been
focused more on in-class practice

00:30:41.910 --> 00:30:43.600
but even thinking about that,

00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:45.950
again, we don't want
students to feel overwhelmed

00:30:45.950 --> 00:30:47.830
by, you know, sitting in front of a screen

00:30:47.830 --> 00:30:49.880
for eight hours a day or things like that

00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.410
and it shouldn't be just Khan Academy,

00:30:52.410 --> 00:30:54.790
we encourage you to have some diversity

00:30:54.790 --> 00:30:56.420
in what students are learning.

00:30:56.420 --> 00:30:59.340
And especially if you're an
upper school teacher, right,

00:30:59.340 --> 00:31:01.190
you're probably subjects of civic

00:31:01.190 --> 00:31:02.750
and you don't want your
students just doing

00:31:02.750 --> 00:31:04.923
that one thing all day and so,

00:31:04.923 --> 00:31:08.840
what we see is that 30
to 45 active minutes

00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:13.020
on Khan Academy per week,
shows really great efficacy

00:31:13.020 --> 00:31:16.020
and so, what you can look for as a teacher

00:31:16.020 --> 00:31:21.010
in terms of tracking, is
that on that report I shared,

00:31:21.010 --> 00:31:23.720
and I'll just go back on
my screen to show you.

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:27.440
So, if you go back and you
go to your teacher dashboard

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.790
and look at your activity
overview, and you wanna see

00:31:30.790 --> 00:31:32.500
in this total learning minutes column,

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:36.310
you wanna see somewhere
between 30 and 45 minutes

00:31:36.310 --> 00:31:37.840
and then in this skills level,

00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:40.280
the column you wanna see two or more,

00:31:40.280 --> 00:31:42.880
we find that that's a
really good benchmark

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.193
for seeing if students are
making meaningful progress.

00:31:48.360 --> 00:31:50.490
- [Jeremy] Great, okay
and to go along with that,

00:31:50.490 --> 00:31:52.517
Bridger asked this question,

00:31:52.517 --> 00:31:54.507
"For an English or math teacher,

00:31:54.507 --> 00:31:55.897
"could you give a brief summation

00:31:55.897 --> 00:31:58.617
"of what a week might look
like, including assignments?

00:31:58.617 --> 00:32:01.557
"So, basically walk me through
how that flow would look,

00:32:01.557 --> 00:32:03.457
"what I'm doing what
the students are doing,

00:32:03.457 --> 00:32:06.560
"so it feels really, real doable for me."

00:32:06.560 --> 00:32:07.580
- [Meaghan] Sure.

00:32:07.580 --> 00:32:09.380
Now, I do wanna say again,

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:12.070
you know your classroom
and your students best,

00:32:12.070 --> 00:32:15.140
so please adapt in and
don't take this as a hard

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:17.090
and fast rule but take
it as general advice

00:32:17.090 --> 00:32:19.080
that you can adapt to your own teaching

00:32:19.080 --> 00:32:21.390
and your students learning styles.

00:32:21.390 --> 00:32:24.400
So, if you're looking for, you know,

00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.130
let's say a math teacher, right?

00:32:26.130 --> 00:32:28.250
Khan Academy has great math content

00:32:28.250 --> 00:32:32.600
from pre K through early college and so,

00:32:32.600 --> 00:32:34.220
if you're looking at something like that,

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:35.990
we recommend some time, again,

00:32:35.990 --> 00:32:37.530
you still wanna be teaching your students

00:32:37.530 --> 00:32:40.500
so if you can make sure
you're getting live

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:42.490
or recorded videos of you talking

00:32:42.490 --> 00:32:43.760
through some of those concepts

00:32:43.760 --> 00:32:46.370
at least a couple times a week and so,

00:32:46.370 --> 00:32:48.640
how long that takes you
now, I was gonna say,

00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.520
and how much time your students
have access to internet

00:32:51.520 --> 00:32:54.150
and to those tools
might vary a little bit,

00:32:54.150 --> 00:32:56.340
but we'd say at least two
or three times per week,

00:32:56.340 --> 00:32:58.010
trying to get that to them.

00:32:58.010 --> 00:32:59.817
And then, when you're looking at,

00:32:59.817 --> 00:33:02.630
"What would I give my
students?" and, again,

00:33:02.630 --> 00:33:04.270
I recommend looking at our resources

00:33:04.270 --> 00:33:07.850
to walk through some of
these skills on Khan Academy,

00:33:07.850 --> 00:33:09.700
a little bit more slowly.

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:12.730
But if you're looking
to make an assignment.

00:33:12.730 --> 00:33:16.220
In this case, if I wanted to assign,

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:19.463
let's say third grade content to my class,

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:23.470
if I were looking for what
I wanted to do for the week,

00:33:23.470 --> 00:33:28.470
I might make three to five
exercise based assignments

00:33:28.610 --> 00:33:30.800
plus, if I felt like there was any sort

00:33:30.800 --> 00:33:33.190
of learning content that might be helpful.

00:33:33.190 --> 00:33:36.310
So, if I were looking at
one digit multiplication.

00:33:36.310 --> 00:33:40.930
I can open up this unit
and open up each lesson

00:33:40.930 --> 00:33:43.850
and I can see the exercises
that would be there

00:33:43.850 --> 00:33:46.760
and if you look on the right
hand side for our teachers

00:33:46.760 --> 00:33:49.640
these are the common core
standards to the right hand side

00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:51.750
so if you're looking
for specific standards,

00:33:51.750 --> 00:33:54.080
you can find them right here
in the assignments feature,

00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:56.690
or you can search by those as well.

00:33:56.690 --> 00:33:58.710
So, to get back to your question.

00:33:58.710 --> 00:34:01.570
I would probably make
three to five assignments

00:34:01.570 --> 00:34:03.810
for the week for students.

00:34:03.810 --> 00:34:06.910
And I would have them do, one day.

00:34:06.910 --> 00:34:09.020
Like I would pick one day,
probably at the end of the week

00:34:09.020 --> 00:34:10.930
and I would also
communicate with my students

00:34:10.930 --> 00:34:13.990
that I'm not gonna be looking
at how well you performed

00:34:13.990 --> 00:34:17.530
until this day so you're
giving students the opportunity

00:34:17.530 --> 00:34:20.680
to go back and try again
and really persevere

00:34:20.680 --> 00:34:23.450
through things they might be
struggling with, or, you know,

00:34:23.450 --> 00:34:25.260
they might need additional
time to, you know,

00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:26.750
learn those skills.

00:34:26.750 --> 00:34:29.570
So, circle all the way back,

00:34:29.570 --> 00:34:31.050
I would say recommend making sure

00:34:31.050 --> 00:34:32.590
there's some sort of teaching

00:34:32.590 --> 00:34:35.510
or communication component
two or three times a week,

00:34:35.510 --> 00:34:38.830
and then giving students,
three to five assignments,

00:34:38.830 --> 00:34:39.900
hoping that they'll reach

00:34:39.900 --> 00:34:42.550
that 30 to 45 minute per week threshold

00:34:42.550 --> 00:34:44.523
and move up two skills or more.

00:34:45.850 --> 00:34:46.740
- [Jeremy] Awesome.

00:34:46.740 --> 00:34:49.100
A lot of questions are
coming in about, sort of,

00:34:49.100 --> 00:34:51.610
how do you use Khan
Academy for differentiation

00:34:51.610 --> 00:34:52.760
and in particular,

00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:55.290
how do you serve special
education students,

00:34:55.290 --> 00:34:57.500
particularly during
this really tough time?

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:59.890
Any recommendations there Meaghan?

00:34:59.890 --> 00:35:01.370
- [Meaghan] Really tough questions

00:35:01.370 --> 00:35:03.160
but I'm really glad to hear them.

00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:05.730
So, when it comes to differentiation,

00:35:05.730 --> 00:35:09.220
we strongly encourage teachers
to enable our mastery system

00:35:09.220 --> 00:35:13.180
and to set mastery goals with
students, and here's why.

00:35:13.180 --> 00:35:15.420
If you go into course mastery, again,

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:16.890
from this teacher dashboard.

00:35:16.890 --> 00:35:21.450
You go to placement, you can
see the goals that are assigned

00:35:21.450 --> 00:35:25.150
to each of your students,
and what you're able to do

00:35:25.150 --> 00:35:29.200
is assign a course mastery
goal to all of your students,

00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:31.060
just a subgroup of your students,

00:35:31.060 --> 00:35:32.960
or maybe just one of your students.

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.600
So, in the example you see on your screen,

00:35:35.600 --> 00:35:38.290
I've assigned algebra
one to my whole class,

00:35:38.290 --> 00:35:42.130
and I've assigned pre algebra
to four of my students.

00:35:42.130 --> 00:35:45.240
And so, the reason I assigned
algebra one to everyone,

00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:48.110
that's my class level
goal and this shows up

00:35:48.110 --> 00:35:50.550
on the student dashboard for all of them,

00:35:50.550 --> 00:35:53.550
every time they log in,
it's one really big goal,

00:35:53.550 --> 00:35:56.770
but how they get to that
goal, varies by every student.

00:35:56.770 --> 00:35:59.270
So, instead of having to
make an individual assignment

00:35:59.270 --> 00:36:01.530
for every skill they need to learn,

00:36:01.530 --> 00:36:03.770
you've given them the opportunity

00:36:03.770 --> 00:36:06.660
to reach mastery on all of those skills,

00:36:06.660 --> 00:36:09.270
but they can do it at their own pace.

00:36:09.270 --> 00:36:10.820
And they're able to watch videos

00:36:10.820 --> 00:36:13.330
and read articles on
concepts, they can go back

00:36:13.330 --> 00:36:16.470
and review skills that
they may have had a gap in,

00:36:16.470 --> 00:36:19.340
or they can move ahead if they
really understand, you know,

00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:20.680
graphing equations well

00:36:20.680 --> 00:36:22.320
and they can move quickly through that,

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.380
they have the opportunity
to take a unit test

00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:27.120
and move really quickly and
move on to the next concept.

00:36:27.120 --> 00:36:29.200
So, that way you're getting all students

00:36:29.200 --> 00:36:33.250
towards this grade level, huge goal.

00:36:33.250 --> 00:36:34.920
One, giving them the opportunity

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:36.980
to work at their personalized pace

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:39.400
and get the supports they need.

00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.170
And then, if you have students

00:36:41.170 --> 00:36:43.130
who might need a little bit more support,

00:36:43.130 --> 00:36:45.280
maybe they're working below grade level,

00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.177
you can always assign an
additional goal and say,

00:36:47.177 --> 00:36:48.010
"You know what,

00:36:48.010 --> 00:36:51.107
I'd really love for you to
get to 50% on pre algebra,

00:36:51.107 --> 00:36:53.177
"because I think you really
need some extra support

00:36:53.177 --> 00:36:55.280
"in these skills," and so,

00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.120
students can have the opportunity, again,

00:36:58.120 --> 00:37:00.430
to go back and revisit content

00:37:00.430 --> 00:37:03.920
that might feel, you know,
below grade level per se,

00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.280
but they can do it at their own pace,

00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:08.650
and they can see themselves growing

00:37:08.650 --> 00:37:11.030
and achieving mastery and skills

00:37:11.030 --> 00:37:13.360
that they might not have had before.

00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.210
And as I mentioned earlier,
some teachers for students

00:37:16.210 --> 00:37:18.290
that are progressing at a faster pace,

00:37:18.290 --> 00:37:20.120
we'll encourage to them to, you know,

00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:22.570
work on the next course
or work on something else.

00:37:22.570 --> 00:37:25.700
Khan Academy has content
across you know, math, science,

00:37:25.700 --> 00:37:29.340
computer programming, arts and
humanities, and many others.

00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:31.810
So, that sometimes when
students have that, you know,

00:37:31.810 --> 00:37:36.100
additional time, allow them
to learn even beyond that

00:37:36.100 --> 00:37:38.490
When it comes to our
special education students,

00:37:38.490 --> 00:37:40.910
I will say this, is that we have,

00:37:40.910 --> 00:37:42.750
I was gonna say, I would
say we have an opportunity

00:37:42.750 --> 00:37:44.880
to learn more about some best practices

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.680
with special education students,

00:37:46.680 --> 00:37:48.770
but I can reference a
teacher I've worked closely

00:37:48.770 --> 00:37:51.370
with before who has used Khan Academy

00:37:51.370 --> 00:37:53.900
for multiple years in math,

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:57.570
for a classroom entirely of
special education students.

00:37:57.570 --> 00:38:01.590
And, while those students
in terms of age, might fall

00:38:01.590 --> 00:38:04.650
into what you think of as
middle school students,

00:38:04.650 --> 00:38:07.930
they're working on a first,
second, grade level and so,

00:38:07.930 --> 00:38:11.940
what she's able to do is that
for each of her students,

00:38:11.940 --> 00:38:14.100
she creates a separate mastery goal

00:38:14.100 --> 00:38:17.080
for each student based on
where she knows they are

00:38:17.080 --> 00:38:19.670
and then each student is
able to work on the skills

00:38:19.670 --> 00:38:21.660
that feel appropriate for them.

00:38:21.660 --> 00:38:23.870
But the whole class is working on mastery

00:38:23.870 --> 00:38:26.130
so all of the students
feel really included,

00:38:26.130 --> 00:38:28.310
they're working towards great big goals,

00:38:28.310 --> 00:38:29.920
but they're all still working

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.050
on the skills that feel
appropriate for them.

00:38:33.050 --> 00:38:35.160
And so, in that similar way when we talked

00:38:35.160 --> 00:38:38.270
about kind of a standard classroom.

00:38:38.270 --> 00:38:41.420
I would offer the
opportunity to think about

00:38:41.420 --> 00:38:43.310
how you might be able to alter that

00:38:43.310 --> 00:38:45.480
for special education students

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.830
and if as you go through
this process you learn things

00:38:47.830 --> 00:38:49.650
about that, please reach out to us

00:38:49.650 --> 00:38:50.560
and let us know how it goes,

00:38:50.560 --> 00:38:52.990
because we are always
eager for teacher feedback

00:38:52.990 --> 00:38:55.913
to improve our recommendations
around any area.

00:38:56.990 --> 00:38:57.850
- [Jeremy] That's awesome,

00:38:57.850 --> 00:38:59.080
and then sort of a
bookend question to that,

00:38:59.080 --> 00:39:01.720
is coming from Melody
and many other educators

00:39:01.720 --> 00:39:04.227
is, "Okay I have assigned
these course mastery goals,

00:39:04.227 --> 00:39:06.017
"how do I measure progress?

00:39:06.017 --> 00:39:07.527
"What reports do I look at?

00:39:07.527 --> 00:39:08.867
"what do I focus on the page?

00:39:08.867 --> 00:39:10.990
"How do I know how my students are doing?"

00:39:10.990 --> 00:39:13.200
- [Meaghan] Yeah, what a
great question and I know

00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:15.530
that there's a lot to take in here,

00:39:15.530 --> 00:39:16.610
and I do encourage you,

00:39:16.610 --> 00:39:19.240
these are really great
Khan Academy questions too,

00:39:19.240 --> 00:39:21.180
integrate some of what we're sharing

00:39:21.180 --> 00:39:22.940
with what you're already doing.

00:39:22.940 --> 00:39:25.530
Again, you are here
because you really care

00:39:25.530 --> 00:39:27.720
about your students and
really teaching well

00:39:27.720 --> 00:39:30.820
in this new remote situation,
so please take these pieces

00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:32.560
and integrate them with
things that you know,

00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:33.610
that you're already doing well

00:39:33.610 --> 00:39:35.210
so how you're tracking your students

00:39:35.210 --> 00:39:38.140
and making sure they're
getting the best opportunities

00:39:38.140 --> 00:39:40.150
to learn and grow,

00:39:40.150 --> 00:39:42.950
please use those in combination
with what we're sharing.

00:39:43.860 --> 00:39:46.650
So, if I wanted to
specifically track progress

00:39:46.650 --> 00:39:48.510
on their mastery goal.

00:39:48.510 --> 00:39:49.900
If you look on the left hand side

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:53.043
where I'm at placement if
I instead choose progress.

00:39:56.980 --> 00:40:00.460
I can see here, this is how my whole class

00:40:00.460 --> 00:40:02.030
is doing in third grade.

00:40:02.030 --> 00:40:04.720
So, if I've set the mastery
goal here is third grade,

00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:08.400
I can see how much progress,
all of my students have made,

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:09.880
and I can see a class median,

00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:11.890
so we've made about 8% progress,

00:40:11.890 --> 00:40:14.240
and if I hover over any of these bars

00:40:14.240 --> 00:40:16.300
it'll show me which students quickly fall

00:40:16.300 --> 00:40:17.790
into each of these areas.

00:40:17.790 --> 00:40:20.520
So, if I look here, Josslyn and Wenbo fall

00:40:20.520 --> 00:40:24.980
into this first box, we're
looking at, you know, 10 to 20%,

00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:27.470
whereas if I jump up
here I can see Melissa

00:40:27.470 --> 00:40:29.760
is at, you know, 44%.

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:34.010
So, that gives you a quick
snapshot of all of your class

00:40:34.010 --> 00:40:37.060
and how they're doing
towards that greater goal.

00:40:37.060 --> 00:40:40.080
If you scroll down below,

00:40:40.080 --> 00:40:44.020
you'll see each of the units
within that overall course,

00:40:44.020 --> 00:40:46.210
and it will give you a class median

00:40:46.210 --> 00:40:49.470
on how they're doing
on each of those units.

00:40:49.470 --> 00:40:53.263
So, in this case if I clicked
into one digit multiplication,

00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:57.830
I now get a similar screen to
what I saw for course mastery

00:40:57.830 --> 00:40:59.670
but I get it at the unit level

00:40:59.670 --> 00:41:02.180
and so, here I can see how much progress

00:41:02.180 --> 00:41:05.430
have my students made
in this particular unit.

00:41:05.430 --> 00:41:08.490
We've made a little bit more
progress here, you can see,

00:41:08.490 --> 00:41:11.110
and the same hover opportunity exists.

00:41:11.110 --> 00:41:13.720
And then if I really wanna get detailed

00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:16.373
if I scroll below these chart,

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:19.890
I'll see this section
called skill mastery,

00:41:19.890 --> 00:41:23.440
and it shows me exactly
where my students fall

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:25.990
for every specific skill.

00:41:25.990 --> 00:41:29.060
By clicking the carrot
on the left hand side

00:41:30.610 --> 00:41:33.860
it shows me my students
and how they're performing

00:41:33.860 --> 00:41:35.460
on that particular skill.

00:41:35.460 --> 00:41:37.750
So, my first spec overview,
not started, meaning students

00:41:37.750 --> 00:41:39.350
haven't done anything yet.

00:41:39.350 --> 00:41:41.090
Attempted, means they've tried

00:41:41.090 --> 00:41:44.060
but they've gotten fewer than 70%

00:41:44.060 --> 00:41:45.860
of those questions correct.

00:41:45.860 --> 00:41:49.770
Familiar, means they've reached
at least 70, proficient is,

00:41:49.770 --> 00:41:52.600
means they've got at
least 100% on an exercise

00:41:52.600 --> 00:41:55.800
which is single skill practice
and to get to mastered,

00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:58.870
they have to show that they have success,

00:41:58.870 --> 00:42:00.840
in both a single skill practice

00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:03.510
of the exercise and a mixed skill practice

00:42:03.510 --> 00:42:06.270
of either the unit test
or the course challenge,

00:42:06.270 --> 00:42:08.060
so they have to be able to demonstrate

00:42:08.060 --> 00:42:11.630
that skill in isolation and
combined with other skills.

00:42:11.630 --> 00:42:13.400
And what's neat about this part

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.840
of the progress report is
that if you see students

00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:19.700
that have not started this skill

00:42:19.700 --> 00:42:21.580
or might need more practice,

00:42:21.580 --> 00:42:23.410
if you click the Assign button

00:42:23.410 --> 00:42:26.770
on the left hand side,
a pop up box will appear

00:42:26.770 --> 00:42:28.980
and without you having to search for it,

00:42:28.980 --> 00:42:33.380
you can assign that skill,
to either all your class,

00:42:33.380 --> 00:42:36.180
a handful of students or a single student

00:42:36.180 --> 00:42:39.833
and encourage them to work
on that skill to master it.

00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:42.360
- [Jeremy] Very cool.

00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:43.540
So, hopefully that gives you a sense

00:42:43.540 --> 00:42:45.370
of how you can keep tabs on your students,

00:42:45.370 --> 00:42:47.390
even when you're all spread apart.

00:42:47.390 --> 00:42:49.570
But now we've dove pretty deep

00:42:49.570 --> 00:42:51.600
into the innards of Khan Academy.

00:42:51.600 --> 00:42:53.070
Let's zoom back a little bit.

00:42:53.070 --> 00:42:55.437
Sheila and a couple of others are asking,

00:42:55.437 --> 00:42:58.677
"Hey, is there an answer
sheet for Khan Academy?

00:42:58.677 --> 00:43:01.840
"How do I actually evaluate
how things are doing?"

00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:04.940
Can you just maybe show off
a sample practice exercise,

00:43:04.940 --> 00:43:08.120
Meaghan, just to show the
kinda experiences students get.

00:43:08.120 --> 00:43:10.740
- [Meaghan] Really wonderful
question Sheila and so,

00:43:10.740 --> 00:43:12.700
let me address your
question in a couple parts.

00:43:12.700 --> 00:43:15.910
So, first of all, there's
no grading required

00:43:15.910 --> 00:43:17.980
for the teacher or if
you're a parent on the line

00:43:17.980 --> 00:43:20.490
with us right now
everything is graded for you

00:43:20.490 --> 00:43:22.030
so no one's gonna quiz you

00:43:22.030 --> 00:43:25.740
on your algebra one
skills if it's been a bit.

00:43:25.740 --> 00:43:27.860
But if you're looking for more detail.

00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:29.650
If you go to make an assignment.

00:43:29.650 --> 00:43:31.743
So, let's go back into my class.

00:43:33.310 --> 00:43:37.710
And if I go to assignments,
and under that I click Assign.

00:43:37.710 --> 00:43:41.330
And so, if I look at
any of these exercises,

00:43:41.330 --> 00:43:43.120
from the teacher perspective,

00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:46.320
if I click on the title of the exercise,

00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:48.800
what I see is an item bank,

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:52.800
and it will show me all the
questions, students can receive,

00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.900
if I assign this exercise

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:57.350
and when you assign it,
you have two options.

00:43:57.350 --> 00:44:00.640
You can assign all the
same questions to students

00:44:00.640 --> 00:44:03.910
and all students will receive
the same exact questions,

00:44:03.910 --> 00:44:06.210
or random questions, which means students

00:44:06.210 --> 00:44:09.350
will receive random questions
out of the item bank.

00:44:09.350 --> 00:44:11.400
However, I will give the caveat.

00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.010
That If students, if you choose random,

00:44:14.010 --> 00:44:16.360
if there's different types of
questions, so in this case you

00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:18.430
can see there is a number line question

00:44:18.430 --> 00:44:20.170
and there's this box question.

00:44:20.170 --> 00:44:22.810
All students will receive
the same number of questions

00:44:22.810 --> 00:44:25.850
of the same type, so they
won't be totally different,

00:44:25.850 --> 00:44:28.450
it's more that the variables
are changed and so,

00:44:28.450 --> 00:44:30.530
in this case students would receive seven

00:44:30.530 --> 00:44:34.120
of these 21 questions,
and we encourage teachers

00:44:34.120 --> 00:44:36.640
to take a look at the item
bank before they assigned

00:44:36.640 --> 00:44:37.547
to students to see,

00:44:37.547 --> 00:44:39.777
"Is this the right skill I'm looking for?

00:44:39.777 --> 00:44:41.977
"Does this feel like
the right level of rigor

00:44:41.977 --> 00:44:42.810
"for my students?

00:44:42.810 --> 00:44:45.447
"Are there any pitfall questions
I should tell my students

00:44:45.447 --> 00:44:46.840
"to look out for?"

00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.090
And so, here's where you could find,

00:44:49.090 --> 00:44:51.830
it's not quite an answer key
but it is a good item bank,

00:44:51.830 --> 00:44:53.430
of what your students would see.

00:44:54.405 --> 00:44:57.510
And from the student
view, if you click here,

00:44:57.510 --> 00:45:00.150
See this is what it looks like
from the student perspective,

00:45:00.150 --> 00:45:03.350
here's the question and then
below that you can get supports

00:45:03.350 --> 00:45:05.593
to watch a video or use a hint.

00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.730
And once you make those
assignments to students.

00:45:10.730 --> 00:45:13.720
You can look at their scores, right below

00:45:13.720 --> 00:45:15.810
that assign, you can look at scores,

00:45:15.810 --> 00:45:19.010
and what you'll be able to
see is how they performed

00:45:19.010 --> 00:45:23.280
on each assignment you've
made and if it is a video

00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:25.670
or an article you've
assigned to the students,

00:45:25.670 --> 00:45:27.760
they'll receive a checkmark
for completing that.

00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.420
For an article, they just have
the article and scroll down

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:35.280
for a video they have to watch
at least 90% of the video

00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.970
and they can't watch it
faster than double speed,

00:45:37.970 --> 00:45:39.290
if they try and watch it a triple

00:45:39.290 --> 00:45:42.050
or quadruple speed they
won't get credit for it.

00:45:42.050 --> 00:45:45.210
And then for anything that
has questions, a quiz,

00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:48.100
an exercise, a unit test,

00:45:48.100 --> 00:45:50.210
they'll get a numeric value for that

00:45:50.210 --> 00:45:52.490
and it will be color coded for you.

00:45:52.490 --> 00:45:56.550
So, if they are below
70% it'll come up in red.

00:45:56.550 --> 00:45:59.400
If it's between 70 and 99, it'll come up

00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.200
in this yellow color and then

00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:03.920
if it's 100% they'll get a nice green,

00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:08.750
and by clicking on any of
those individual scores,

00:46:08.750 --> 00:46:11.340
you can view the report for that student.

00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:14.470
So, you can really view it
at a class level or jump in

00:46:14.470 --> 00:46:15.640
and view it at a student level

00:46:15.640 --> 00:46:18.630
and here you can see the
questions the student was given

00:46:19.580 --> 00:46:22.340
and then what their answer was.

00:46:22.340 --> 00:46:27.340
And so, if the student, if
you've selected randomly ordered,

00:46:28.040 --> 00:46:31.610
the questions are ordered
by the ones they missed most

00:46:31.610 --> 00:46:34.710
and here's the thing, is
that, you can also change this

00:46:34.710 --> 00:46:35.640
on the top right.

00:46:35.640 --> 00:46:37.440
Right now I'm looking at a single student,

00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:39.240
right now I'm looking at Michael.

00:46:39.240 --> 00:46:42.113
But if I wanted, I could select them all,

00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:46.980
and what I can do here, is that I can look

00:46:46.980 --> 00:46:49.380
at either their first or last attempt,

00:46:49.380 --> 00:46:51.360
because I selected random,

00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.750
I can see the questions
in order by most miss

00:46:53.750 --> 00:46:56.150
so if I see here question five

00:46:56.150 --> 00:46:59.430
students had the greatest
challenge with this question,

00:46:59.430 --> 00:47:01.550
I can use this question for a reteach

00:47:01.550 --> 00:47:04.250
and maybe it's an opportunity
to do that quick video

00:47:04.250 --> 00:47:06.160
that I either record and share out,

00:47:06.160 --> 00:47:08.370
or do it live on a whiteboard with them

00:47:08.370 --> 00:47:10.910
and work through the problem
and if you're looking

00:47:10.910 --> 00:47:14.725
for supports on, you know,
maybe, "How do I look at this?"

00:47:14.725 --> 00:47:17.490
In the same way that we
offered hints to students,

00:47:17.490 --> 00:47:21.060
we provide that same walkthrough
set of hints to teachers,

00:47:21.060 --> 00:47:23.210
if you wanted to display this, again,

00:47:23.210 --> 00:47:26.870
maybe in a recorded video
or live with students,

00:47:26.870 --> 00:47:29.063
here's the walk through steps you can use.

00:47:30.300 --> 00:47:31.150
- [Jeremy] Cool.

00:47:31.150 --> 00:47:33.110
Well, speaking of recorded videos,

00:47:33.110 --> 00:47:36.580
Paul has a very juicy inside
Khan Academy question for us,

00:47:36.580 --> 00:47:40.720
which is, do you know what
kind of software Sal Khan uses

00:47:40.720 --> 00:47:42.430
to make those videos
and if a teacher wants

00:47:42.430 --> 00:47:45.430
to make their own Khan style
videos, how could they do that?

00:47:46.290 --> 00:47:49.410
- [Meaghan] I do not know
the software Sal uses,

00:47:49.410 --> 00:47:50.730
that's a great question.

00:47:50.730 --> 00:47:53.590
I have been here a few years
and no one has asked me that

00:47:53.590 --> 00:47:57.150
so Bravo and asked me a question
I haven't been asked yet.

00:47:57.150 --> 00:47:59.270
I will definitely find that out.

00:47:59.270 --> 00:48:01.810
However, what I can share
with you are some of the tools

00:48:01.810 --> 00:48:05.850
that I use to make videos
for teachers and so,

00:48:05.850 --> 00:48:07.750
a couple of things that are free,

00:48:07.750 --> 00:48:12.440
one you can do some recording
with Hangout Meets, Loom,

00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:15.770
L-O-O-M is a free tool you
can use that allows you

00:48:15.770 --> 00:48:17.150
to record your screen,

00:48:17.150 --> 00:48:20.440
and your face at the same
time that I really like.

00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:22.480
Again, that's just
something that I've used

00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.260
and some of our colleagues have used,

00:48:24.260 --> 00:48:26.910
and it's great for doing
things like I just demonstrated

00:48:26.910 --> 00:48:28.980
so walking through this and it also

00:48:28.980 --> 00:48:30.960
can have a video of
your face in the corner

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:32.830
so your students can see you,

00:48:32.830 --> 00:48:34.710
you know, what you're
doing on your screen,

00:48:34.710 --> 00:48:37.297
so maybe they're gonna, you're
modeling a behavior for them,

00:48:37.297 --> 00:48:39.630
and they still get to see your face 'cause

00:48:39.630 --> 00:48:40.780
they probably miss you.

00:48:42.010 --> 00:48:43.780
- [Jeremy] That's so
cool, I wanna add that

00:48:43.780 --> 00:48:46.000
from having sat in Sals
office a couple weeks ago

00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:47.720
before we were all sent home.

00:48:47.720 --> 00:48:51.090
I know he uses a wacom,
tablet, so check those out

00:48:51.090 --> 00:48:53.520
and add them to your next Amazon delivery

00:48:53.520 --> 00:48:55.703
of hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

00:48:56.910 --> 00:48:58.480
Okay, so great question, Paul,

00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:00.810
another sort of interesting
technical question.

00:49:00.810 --> 00:49:02.767
This is come from Frank
and a number of others is,

00:49:02.767 --> 00:49:04.767
"Okay, I love Khan,

00:49:04.767 --> 00:49:09.027
"but I'm also using Google
Classroom or Schoology or Canvas

00:49:09.027 --> 00:49:10.977
"as my LMS, is there some way

00:49:10.977 --> 00:49:15.200
"to at least get like the Khan
links into my LMS system?"

00:49:15.200 --> 00:49:17.810
- [Meaghan] Yeah, that's
a request we get a lot

00:49:17.810 --> 00:49:20.360
and it's something that, we as a team,

00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:22.290
think is really important as, you know,

00:49:22.290 --> 00:49:23.880
to think about as we move forward,

00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:26.380
currently we do not fully integrate

00:49:26.380 --> 00:49:29.123
with any of the learning
management systems.

00:49:30.090 --> 00:49:32.370
So, what we do allow is that you

00:49:32.370 --> 00:49:35.360
can import your class roster
through Google Classroom

00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.190
so there's no need for you to
create a class from scratch,

00:49:38.190 --> 00:49:41.010
you can simply pull in your
roster from Google classroom

00:49:41.010 --> 00:49:43.550
and students can use
Google single sign on.

00:49:43.550 --> 00:49:45.300
However,

00:49:45.300 --> 00:49:46.830
sharing the assignments directly,

00:49:46.830 --> 00:49:50.730
we have not established
that link with any LMSs yet.

00:49:50.730 --> 00:49:55.010
However, I do know our friends
at ClassDojo have shared

00:49:55.010 --> 00:49:57.090
that with your using ClassDojo

00:49:57.090 --> 00:49:59.130
and you make an assignment
you can put the direct link

00:49:59.130 --> 00:50:00.300
to the assignment in there

00:50:00.300 --> 00:50:02.570
and share that really
easily with students.

00:50:02.570 --> 00:50:05.630
It's a really important
concept that you bring out

00:50:05.630 --> 00:50:08.600
and it's really important especially now,

00:50:08.600 --> 00:50:11.030
but we do not link assignments directly

00:50:11.030 --> 00:50:12.690
with any learning management systems

00:50:12.690 --> 00:50:14.220
at the time.

00:50:14.220 --> 00:50:16.230
- [Jeremy] Cool, I will
just mention that like,

00:50:16.230 --> 00:50:17.200
even though you would lose some

00:50:17.200 --> 00:50:19.620
of the power of the assignments,
we just talked about.

00:50:19.620 --> 00:50:20.897
If you're ever just in a rush, like,

00:50:20.897 --> 00:50:22.547
"I've got to get something
my students fast,

00:50:22.547 --> 00:50:24.040
"the clock is ticking."

00:50:24.040 --> 00:50:26.100
Every single piece of
content on Khan Academy

00:50:26.100 --> 00:50:29.640
has a unique URL that little
sort of web address at the top.

00:50:29.640 --> 00:50:31.890
Of course you can always
copy and paste a video link

00:50:31.890 --> 00:50:33.130
or an exercise link.

00:50:33.130 --> 00:50:34.850
If you just wanna stick
it right into your LMS

00:50:34.850 --> 00:50:36.350
but of course, there is an advantage

00:50:36.350 --> 00:50:39.483
to using Khan Academy natively
to have all that evaluation.

00:50:40.550 --> 00:50:42.740
Okay, so a couple of challenges

00:50:42.740 --> 00:50:44.800
that teachers are facing right now,

00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:48.047
big one that we've heard a
lot today is, "Help, you know,

00:50:48.047 --> 00:50:50.777
"my students don't all have
internet access at home

00:50:50.777 --> 00:50:52.227
"or devices at home.

00:50:52.227 --> 00:50:53.257
"Are there any workarounds?

00:50:53.257 --> 00:50:54.507
"Or are there any way to get them access

00:50:54.507 --> 00:50:56.860
"to all this goodness that
you're talking about?"

00:50:56.860 --> 00:50:58.460
- [Meaghan] Yeah, I think
that that has become

00:50:58.460 --> 00:51:01.784
more apparent to everyone in
being the current situation

00:51:01.784 --> 00:51:04.780
that the way we think about internet

00:51:04.780 --> 00:51:08.820
and device accessibility
is really become, you know,

00:51:08.820 --> 00:51:10.910
more apparent than I think the priority

00:51:10.910 --> 00:51:14.230
has been in the past and
so, while Khan Academy

00:51:14.230 --> 00:51:18.060
is really dependent on students
being able to have some form

00:51:18.060 --> 00:51:20.720
of internet access to get
those personalized results

00:51:20.720 --> 00:51:23.580
to help them differentiate
and get what they need

00:51:23.580 --> 00:51:26.720
to either review or move forward,

00:51:26.720 --> 00:51:29.480
there are a couple
things we can recommend.

00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.030
The one is that if students have access,

00:51:32.030 --> 00:51:34.050
even to just a smartphone,

00:51:34.050 --> 00:51:36.110
what we found is that a
lot of families might not

00:51:36.110 --> 00:51:39.020
have a laptop or they
might not have a tablet

00:51:39.020 --> 00:51:41.870
but someone in the home has a smartphone.

00:51:41.870 --> 00:51:45.130
Khan Academy has an app,
and all of the features

00:51:45.130 --> 00:51:48.810
that are available to students
on the website are available

00:51:48.810 --> 00:51:50.650
through the app, and the app is available

00:51:50.650 --> 00:51:52.760
in 18 different languages.

00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:54.920
So, even if students want their parents

00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:57.810
who might not have grown up
in the US education system

00:51:57.810 --> 00:52:01.380
to support them, they can
work with them and so,

00:52:01.380 --> 00:52:05.940
that's one piece we can
recommend, a second one,

00:52:05.940 --> 00:52:09.400
is there is some information
on our Help Center site

00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:12.470
that I recommend is
that there's an article,

00:52:12.470 --> 00:52:16.513
I'm sure I can pull it up
right now, actually, on,

00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:22.720
how do I use Khan Academy
without an internet connection

00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:25.490
and so, here it'll show
you how to use some

00:52:25.490 --> 00:52:27.390
of the apps and you can download the video

00:52:27.390 --> 00:52:29.500
if students only maybe
have a limited amount

00:52:29.500 --> 00:52:32.290
of internet connection,
they can download the videos

00:52:32.290 --> 00:52:34.940
from the app and watch
them at a later time

00:52:34.940 --> 00:52:36.640
and there's also a collaboration

00:52:36.640 --> 00:52:41.220
with an organization we
work with called Calibri,

00:52:41.220 --> 00:52:43.800
and they allow devices

00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:47.520
to download content,
including Khan Academy.

00:52:47.520 --> 00:52:51.380
To download exercises, videos,
articles, ahead of time,

00:52:51.380 --> 00:52:53.550
and then watch them or engage with them

00:52:53.550 --> 00:52:55.160
at a later point in time.

00:52:55.160 --> 00:52:57.560
Again, that would involve a device still

00:52:57.560 --> 00:52:59.620
and internet access, at some point,

00:52:59.620 --> 00:53:02.150
but it wouldn't involve a consistent flow

00:53:02.150 --> 00:53:03.583
of internet connectivity.

00:53:04.700 --> 00:53:06.630
- [Jeremy] Cool, and
then sort of piggybacking

00:53:06.630 --> 00:53:07.760
on that linguistic challenge

00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:10.027
that you were talking
about, Angelina asks,

00:53:10.027 --> 00:53:12.577
"You know, as an ESL teacher
in an elementary school,

00:53:12.577 --> 00:53:14.737
"a lot of my students
just don't speak English.

00:53:14.737 --> 00:53:16.777
"How can I leverage Khan Academy,

00:53:16.777 --> 00:53:17.617
"given that most of the stuff

00:53:17.617 --> 00:53:19.939
"that we've seen so far is in English?"

00:53:19.939 --> 00:53:21.120
- [Meaghan] Yeah, absolutely.

00:53:21.120 --> 00:53:23.560
What a phenomenal question and we work

00:53:23.560 --> 00:53:25.460
with school districts, all over the US

00:53:25.460 --> 00:53:27.270
and our team is international

00:53:27.270 --> 00:53:31.050
and so, we are thinking
about how do we serve anyone,

00:53:31.050 --> 00:53:34.920
anywhere, and really deliver
a world class education,

00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.410
and that is not just in English and so,

00:53:37.410 --> 00:53:39.640
we are available in 40 plus languages

00:53:39.640 --> 00:53:41.050
and let me show you quickly

00:53:41.050 --> 00:53:44.550
how students can change
their language setting

00:53:44.550 --> 00:53:46.390
and we see this in school districts,

00:53:46.390 --> 00:53:48.840
inside the US really frequently,

00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:50.920
and we want families and communities,

00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:52.390
to be able to support their learners

00:53:52.390 --> 00:53:53.690
so even if they're encouraged

00:53:53.690 --> 00:53:55.800
to learn English in a classroom,

00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:57.890
they can change their language at home,

00:53:57.890 --> 00:53:59.480
so their parents and community

00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:01.100
can support their learning process,

00:54:01.100 --> 00:54:04.903
and then switch it back to
English in your classroom.

00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.070
So, if you click on the name

00:54:08.070 --> 00:54:10.300
and this would be the
same process for a student

00:54:10.300 --> 00:54:12.100
as it would be for a
teacher, so they click

00:54:12.100 --> 00:54:14.560
on their name in the top right,

00:54:14.560 --> 00:54:15.983
and they go to settings,

00:54:17.370 --> 00:54:21.350
and one of the top things
on the Settings page here

00:54:21.350 --> 00:54:23.950
is it says primary language.

00:54:23.950 --> 00:54:26.410
And if you click the
drop down you'll see here

00:54:26.410 --> 00:54:30.520
that we have over 40 languages
for learners to choose from.

00:54:30.520 --> 00:54:33.380
I'm gonna stay in English,
and then make sure,

00:54:33.380 --> 00:54:35.970
here's the important part,
you click save changes,

00:54:35.970 --> 00:54:38.340
and it says information updated, in green,

00:54:38.340 --> 00:54:40.240
that's how you know, the
language has switched.

00:54:40.240 --> 00:54:41.580
So, if I were to switch it,

00:54:41.580 --> 00:54:45.560
it would change the core
language on the site.

00:54:45.560 --> 00:54:47.270
And most of our content,

00:54:47.270 --> 00:54:51.370
especially if you're looking
for Spanish speakers,

00:54:51.370 --> 00:54:53.780
almost all of our content
that's in English is available

00:54:53.780 --> 00:54:56.500
in Spanish and then on large percentages

00:54:56.500 --> 00:54:58.423
for all of those other languages.

00:54:59.570 --> 00:55:01.410
- [Jeremy] Very cool and so, just to end

00:55:01.410 --> 00:55:04.570
on maybe one really
universal question that folks

00:55:04.570 --> 00:55:06.910
are thinking about right now is,

00:55:06.910 --> 00:55:07.980
whether you're a teacher

00:55:07.980 --> 00:55:10.120
and you're trying to
serve the families all

00:55:10.120 --> 00:55:12.310
around your community
who are now spread out,

00:55:12.310 --> 00:55:14.040
or you're also a parent, you're trying

00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:16.030
to serve your own students at home.

00:55:16.030 --> 00:55:18.050
Any recommendations Meaghan,

00:55:18.050 --> 00:55:20.270
how to really support your students,

00:55:20.270 --> 00:55:23.600
whether they're your kids or
your students in your classroom

00:55:23.600 --> 00:55:25.660
without overstepping bounds, without sort

00:55:25.660 --> 00:55:28.097
of being too overbearing and say,

00:55:28.097 --> 00:55:29.310
"Hey, you've got to do this work,"

00:55:29.310 --> 00:55:32.333
even when the world is in a
little bit of a chaotic state?

00:55:33.390 --> 00:55:34.800
- [Meaghan] Yeah, I'm gonna,

00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:36.950
I'm gonna go back to
what I mentioned earlier

00:55:36.950 --> 00:55:39.770
is just be open about it, right?

00:55:39.770 --> 00:55:41.780
This is hard for all of us

00:55:41.780 --> 00:55:44.060
and so, I think it was really good

00:55:44.060 --> 00:55:45.220
in the example I said earlier

00:55:45.220 --> 00:55:46.727
where the Khan Academy team was like,

00:55:46.727 --> 00:55:49.247
"Listen, we're really trying
to help but these tools are new

00:55:49.247 --> 00:55:51.400
"for us too and we're trying,"

00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:52.840
and people were like,
"Yeah, I'm trying too,"

00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:56.340
and owning that shared
experience that this is hard

00:55:56.340 --> 00:55:59.300
and so, I think being able
to be open with your students

00:55:59.300 --> 00:56:01.920
and say, "You know what,
I want you to achieve this

00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:05.680
and here's why," and giving
them that really good reason,

00:56:05.680 --> 00:56:07.417
and being like, "It's
okay if you struggle,

00:56:07.417 --> 00:56:10.300
"it's okay if it's
frustrating," and you know,

00:56:10.300 --> 00:56:13.230
accepting that this is
an opportunity for us all

00:56:13.230 --> 00:56:16.690
to grow together, and don't
hesitate as I said, you know,

00:56:16.690 --> 00:56:18.530
to reach out if you've got great ideas

00:56:18.530 --> 00:56:21.520
or we as an organization
can do more to support you,

00:56:21.520 --> 00:56:24.900
because we really do think
we are stronger together.

00:56:24.900 --> 00:56:26.970
- [Jeremy] Cool, well I
know we're almost at time.

00:56:26.970 --> 00:56:28.640
I know we have barely
scratched the surface

00:56:28.640 --> 00:56:29.720
of all the questions that have come in,

00:56:29.720 --> 00:56:32.030
so thank you so much for
asking such great ones.

00:56:32.030 --> 00:56:33.510
- [Meaghan] Yeah, thank you all.

00:56:33.510 --> 00:56:34.900
- [Jeremy] Would you mind
just sort of closing up

00:56:34.900 --> 00:56:37.310
with showing folks where they
can go on the Help Center

00:56:37.310 --> 00:56:40.050
to ask questions directly
to our amazing support team?

00:56:40.050 --> 00:56:42.107
- [Meaghan] Sure that
sounds great, Jeremy.

00:56:42.107 --> 00:56:44.350
So, if you navigate to our Help Center

00:56:44.350 --> 00:56:47.500
which is khanacademy.zendesk.com,

00:56:47.500 --> 00:56:50.590
the link is on the last
slide in the slide deck

00:56:50.590 --> 00:56:54.300
that's shared from this
webinar and here you can search

00:56:54.300 --> 00:56:58.440
for any sort of content you
might have questions on,

00:56:58.440 --> 00:57:00.500
and you'll be able to see information

00:57:00.500 --> 00:57:04.130
around frequently asked
questions, community responses

00:57:04.130 --> 00:57:06.010
and if you have a technical problem

00:57:06.010 --> 00:57:07.800
or something that's not quite right.

00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.580
If you click report a
problem, you'll be taken

00:57:10.580 --> 00:57:13.510
to this request form, and our support team

00:57:13.510 --> 00:57:14.750
is really phenomenal

00:57:14.750 --> 00:57:17.510
and even in this high request time

00:57:17.510 --> 00:57:19.640
they've still been answering requests

00:57:19.640 --> 00:57:24.640
in under a couple hours, so
please if you have any questions

00:57:24.640 --> 00:57:27.880
or if you, things aren't
working quite right for you,

00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:30.580
please reach out to us, we
always wanna hear from you.

00:57:34.870 --> 00:57:37.660
- [Jeremy] Cool, so any final
words of wisdom Meaghan,

00:57:37.660 --> 00:57:38.640
as folks head into the weekend

00:57:38.640 --> 00:57:40.240
after this very, very long week?

00:57:41.120 --> 00:57:43.630
- [Meaghan] You know what, give
yourself a pat on the back.

00:57:43.630 --> 00:57:47.340
It's been a long hard week for
everyone and you know what,

00:57:47.340 --> 00:57:49.630
be proud of the fact that
you've gotten through it

00:57:49.630 --> 00:57:52.660
and you've learned
something and you know what,

00:57:52.660 --> 00:57:55.150
next week, you've learned
something this week

00:57:55.150 --> 00:57:58.410
and look forward to learning
something new next week.

00:57:58.410 --> 00:58:00.530
- [Jeremy] Cool, so, as
we say at Khan Academy.

00:58:00.530 --> 00:58:01.960
We're always learning.

00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:03.300
We're always discovering new things

00:58:03.300 --> 00:58:05.780
and we always end every
session by saying onwards!

00:58:05.780 --> 00:58:06.920
So, we wish you
- Onwards!

00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.853
- [Jeremy] a wonderful
weekend and onwards to all.

00:58:09.853 --> 00:58:11.250
Thanks so much.
- Thanks you all.
