Recently I became frustrated with how poor my #math skills were and decided to do something about it. I found #KhanAcademy and have been going through thier Algebra courses

It's a fantastic resource and I recommend it to anyone wanting to start or continue thier education on a wide range of science and humanities subjects.

Head's up. I think this applies only to people who live in Arizona because Primavera is (I think) only accredited in Arizona.

I tutored a math student today in Algebra 2.

She was taking a summer class at the Primavera Online. Her assignment was:

1. Pick any function.
2. Invert the function you picked.
3. [More bland stuff.]
4. Post your work in the class forum.
5. Comment on someone else's work.

She was stressing over the fact that the forum discussions were counting for 50% of the class.

Some students had already submitted their work. A lot of them had the same function. I observed that some of them could have just copied the answer of someone else.

When I reviewed my Algebra, I went to Khan Academy. I wouldn't say it is without its fault, but it definitely is a non-nonsense platform, contrary to Primavera.

My verdict: Primavera is complete and utter crap. I think my student is between a rock and hard place, because she needs the credit to graduate, and she's already enrolled in the class.

:headache:

She also reported having contacted the instructor and not having gotten any response in 24 hours. Yikes!

I told her that I could help with the actual math, and that maybe it would not turn out as bad as she was expecting.

Sometimes, classes that have "mushy" exercises, also have "mushy" grading. You know. Everyone is the best and gets an A. Hell yes! 🥳

Oh, and I checked the online reviews. Mediocre is the word.

80 % de ce que j'ai appris cette année en L1, ça vient de #KhanAcademy

C'est juste beaucoup mieux que l'université en distanciel.

Has anyone used #EdX / #KhanAcademy? How was your experience with it?

Just to add to that, between #onelaptopperchild and #ai plus my favorite, #khanacademy , and #StackOverflow , those are a sort of library. Certainly could rival most public schools.

Let's not get caught up in the bricks and mortar.

Myself, I'm a #kindle fanatic and find #eink a technology with transformative potential.

More #reading I say.

While doing a calculus exercise in Khan Academy I learned about Geogebra, and wanted to use it to make this chart.

To figure out how I took screenshots of iterative attempts and showed them to ChatGPT (by pasting the bits of screen captures into its input box).

It was able to mostly (though not perfectly) see what I was trying to do and guide me to the necessary Geogebra tools and techniques.

Astonishing.

I'm looking for a #learntocode app for my kiddo where he can work through modules and I can monitor his progress from like a parent or teacher portal view. Seems like this should be standard on #khanacademy or #codeorg. Anyone know of a good #app for #Android or #web like this?

#kolibri is awesome for #homeschool stuff, especially given some of the outages that #khanacademy has had in the past few days. check it out if you're inclined to #selfhost

also reminder that archive.org is an incredible resource for home schooling as well.

I would suggest it also helps reduce climate change sustainably:

If we define climate change as human-induced changes, then educating women, and promoting first-world standards of family planning, contributes to reducing the rate of increase of the human population.

It's for everyone to do their own root-cause analysis of course, but I'm always gobsmacked that no one lobbies for this.
