Academic Online Resources

If you haven’t seen the Khan Academy website you need to log in today.  Khan Academy is a free website dedicated to create a global classroom where students from all over the world can learn at their own pace.  Our students at Fairview High School are getting a superb education, but that doesn't mean that the use of Khan Academy is not needed.  Khan Academy and other online tools can be a great enhancement to what is being taught in the classroom.

Sometimes students need information explained in a different way.  Some students like to go home and review the lesson before beginning homework.  Some students need to work at a slower pace and need time outside of the classroom to review.  Khan Academy is set up to support all of this.  Khan Academy provides online tutorials in many subject areas including math, science, economics and humanities.  The website displays lessons on particular areas within these subjects.  It allows students to search for specific topics that they may have learned about in class.  Khan Academy is even branching out to elementary students by offering math tutorials from 3^rd grade on. 

In an effort to support the use of supplemental material such as Khan Academy’s lessons, Fairview High School has created an Academic Support page on the high school website.  This page allows you to click on a Fairview High School course and see online material that supports the lessons being taught in the classroom.  Students can use this for homework support, to review lessons, or to work ahead.  This material is available through Khan Academy, Teacher Tube or other online tutorials.
