Week 2 - Khan Academy Kids

 Hi Everyone, 

    This week was very interesting reading about information literacy and information seeking behaviour. This week I decided to try out Khan Academy Kids App. This chose this App because I've used Khan Academy in my academic studies for years. Those videos really helped me out in undergrad a lot so I was curious to see what this app was about. After playing around with this app for a little I can really see how this would help young kids with school. The activities are easy to follow and engaging for younger kids. This app could be used in schools, libraries, and even homes to help keep younger students on track with their schoolwork. Students can use this app to help them practice what they have learned in school and see what they may need help in. Teachers could use this app as a way to help students practice what they've learned in a fun and interesting app that could also show teachers what some students are struggling with and what students are retaining. The teacher can access a specific student's profile to see the progress on the app and see what that student has done or what they are having trouble doing. This way teachers can track students progress so they can focus on what students need more help in. This app was really interesting to explore. I can't wait to explore another web based app next week. Exploring these apps have been really fun and interesting so far. I look forward to continuing this journey of exciting new apps and learning more from these readings. The more LIS classes I take the more I know that completely changing my career is the right move for me. That's all I have for this week join me next week when I explore another new web based application.
