Direction: Browse and select an educational website.

1. What are the features and advantages of your selected educational website?
Khan Academy is a free online educational platform that covers a wide range of subjects,
from pre-kindergarten to college level and beyond. It offers interactive video lessons, quizzes, and
personalized feedback to deliver an engaging learning experience. The platform uses a gamified
system with points, badges, and avatars to motivate learners. It also provides personalized
guidance and support through Khanmigo. Khan Academy is accessible on any device and offline,
making learning flexible and convenient. Khan Academy also is an exceptional online learning
platform that caters to individuals seeking knowledge, skill enhancement, or exam preparation. It
offers a wealth of resources for educators wishing to enrich their curriculum or assign homework,
aiming to deliver education of the highest caliber to all, irrespective of their location.

2. Is the website useful in teaching Social Studies subjects?


In my opinion, Khan Academy is a valuable online resource for our teaching and studying
Social Studies subjects with an extensive curriculum. It consists of several units covering various
topics, including world history, US history, and government, civics, and art history. Additionally,
there are numerous interactive features like videos, quizzes, and feedback that help our students
enhance their understanding and practice their skills. We, as future teachers also have the flexibility
to integrate Khan Academy in out lessons, assign homework, monitor students' progress, and
provide personalized assistance. What makes Khan Academy remarkable is its dedication to
accessibility, aiming to deliver free, high-quality education to individuals worldwide.

3. Based in your review, what suggestions you can give to improve the educational website?
On what I’ve observed and reviewed, my suggestion is Khan Academy could add more
languages and subtitles to their videos and content, to make it more accessible and inclusive for
learners from different countries and backgrounds. Khan Academy could also integrate more
interactive and immersive features, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, or gamification, to
enhance the learning experience and engagement of the learners. To this, I think this educational
website make more efficient and effective in teaching and learning process and as a tool.
