I\u2019m sure everyone in the education industry has heard the buzz about Khan Academy, most of you already have Khan Academy in you school<\/strong> and I\u2019m also sure that everyone is as excited and happy that it exists as we are in Paradiso Solutions. For those of you that still do not know what \u00a0Khan Academy for schools is, and what it has done for schools and education, you will find here some useful \u00a0information about it and why it is so great:<\/span><\/p>\n Khan Academy for schools<\/strong> is changing the education world as we know it by \u201cproviding a free world-class education for anyone anywhere.\u201d But how do they accomplish this? First, they have a LOT of top notch academic content that they bring to anyone with an internet connection, they even have Khan Academy pedagogy in other languages. Khan Academy approaches the user depending on their \u201crole\u201d (Student \u2013 Teacher\/Coach\/Parent)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Student:<\/strong> Will be able to take advantage of all Khan Academy pedagogy content using their computer with internet access. If you are looking for an interactive way of learning, I mean, these guys gave the word INTERACTIVITY a whole new meaning, they raised the \u201cway of teaching\u201d \u201cway of learning\u201d bar to the sky (their interactive challenges are wonderful).<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Teacher\/Coach\/Parent:<\/strong> You will have full access to your student\u2019s info, progress and learning path. You will have full visibility at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Second, there are more than 10 MILLION<\/strong> student\u2019s monthly using Khan Academy pedagogy, so we are looking at a HUGE<\/strong> amount of collaborative learning. Plus, these guys are supported by some of \u00a0America\u2019s most important non-profit organization. Just to name a few: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Fundaci\u00f3n Carlos Slim, Google, Bank of America, Craig and Susan McCaw foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What makes Khan Academy for schools great, is the possibility for EVERYONE<\/strong> to have access to quality and free education, allowing people that do not have the possibility of going to school, but want to keep learning, to have access to resources that cover content from kindergarten to 12th grade.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some of the schools and school districts that are an active part of this revolution are:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Burnett Elementary<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0High Tech Middle School<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Eastside Prep<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Innova Schools (Lima, Per\u00fa)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0KIPP<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Kuna Middle School<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Oakland Unity High School<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Olney Charter High School<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Summit Public Schools<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Galway Educations Centre’s (Ireland)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0San Ignacio de Loyola (Spain)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Los altos School District.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m sure that you are as excited as we are now, but how about if we can add more features to this already great platform with our Paradiso LMS?<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Gamification<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ability to repeat classes over and over,<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Advanced reporting,<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Many add-ons (virtual classroom)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Flipping the classroom pedagogy<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0And many more.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are interested in finding out how you can accomplish this and much more, please read our Khan Academy LMS\u00a0BLOG<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Paradiso Solutions is a Silicon Valley based LMS product and eLearning services company.
