Khan Stories: Brooke Hogan
We're gonna go ahead and grab our Chrome Books, we're gonna log in.
Good morning.
Good morning.
My name is Brooke Hogan, I've been teaching for nine years. I teach seventh grade math, science, and health. I try and get to know each and every one of my students on a personal level. Good job. Awesome. So that they know that I recognize them as a human being and as a person, not just as my student within my room.
Log in to Khan Academy. I use Khan on an almost every day basis, at least every other day. You guys will see that I have assigned you guys two assignments. I will give them as assignments, I have given them as quizzes. The kids love using Khan as quizzes because I allow them one retake, so if they don't like their score, 'cause they get their score at the end, then they're like, I wanna retake it.
Alright, let's get to work. When I assign an assignment, I go back and I look at the data on the reports tab. With Khan in my classroom and having that accessibility in my classroom on a daily basis, it really allows me to work with small groups within our instructional time.
We don't know how to do the ink one.
Those kids who need that reteaching or to be, have some concepts reinforced within my instructional time. Yeah, nice work. Good job. My students love it. They absolutely love Khan. When I say, on any given day, okay guys, we're gonna work on Khan today, yes! I hear them starting to challenge each other, like oh what are you going to work on? Oh I'm gonna work on this, I'm gonna work on this.
Just in taking practice tests, their math scores have jumped so much. Not only their math scores, but I've seen their confidence go up a lot. Perfect! Awesome. Perfect, perfect. I love seeing the light bulbs go off on my kids' faces when they finally understand a concept and they get it. You see that excitement, they're like, I got it! And I'm like, yes!
I really want them to be able to transfer the knowledge that they learn in the classroom and be able to transfer it to their real lives. Yay, perfect. Perfect, perfect.
