In response to the pandemic, Khan Academy has added a lot of support for distance learning and homeschool environments. Course offerings are continually updated and expanded.

With an initial focus on math, the site now offers courses on a variety of topics in science, economics, history, the arts, language arts, and computing, as well as prep for tests like the SAT and Praxis Core. Khan Academy, a free website aimed at promoting self-paced instruction, houses thousands of academic videos that are baked into guided, adaptive instruction. And if you're working with little kids, you can use Khan Academy Kids to introduce foundational skills and SEL concepts. You can stop the class to teach a skill they are all missing, or target the struggling students for some small-group instruction.

If students are using Khan Academy during class, take advantage of the real-time reporting. Using the site's powerful analytical and adaptive program, you can track students' progress and identify students who may be struggling in certain areas. To make the most of Khan Academy’s features, explore the Khan for Educators course located in the teacher dashboard. Class setup is super simple, and Khan Academy integrates with Google Classroom, too. Use Math: Great Ready Courses to help get kids up to grade level. Plus, you can set a Course Mastery Goal, which will automatically give kids the practice to help them reach that objective. Math and reading content (in beta as of this review) is organized by course and grade level, so it's easy to target students' instruction for a particular level and skill. Though math is the most comprehensively covered subject, teachers focusing on science, history, or economics can teach or supplement full courses with Khan Academy.

For classroom teachers, Khan Academy is probably best used to introduce, practice, and review content.
