  • - Hello everyone, it looks like we are live

  • and we're getting better at starting on time.

  • Thanks for joining us at our lot daily live stream

  • at our new time that we started yesterday

  • now today at 12 Pacific through Eastern

  • and many people are from joining from all over the world.

  • We're calling this a bit of a homeroom,

  • because obviously in this time of school closures

  • and social distancing, people can use

  • things like Khan Academy at their own time and pace,

  • but I think we all crave

  • a little bit of social connection

  • and a way to to realize that

  • what we're going through,

  • the whole world is going through

  • and as as troubling is the scenario we are in,

  • as a civilization there's the silver lining is

  • we I think in some strange way feel more connected

  • and one real you know humanity

  • is one group of people right now.

  • So just for those of you all this is the first time

  • that you're attending one of these live streams

  • with this home homeroom that we do every day,

  • it's really a catch-all for answering questions,

  • getting announcements out there.

  • Really just like homeroom in real classrooms.

  • And it's not just for students, it's for parents,

  • it's for teachers, it's for anyone else

  • who has questions of any form.

  • Just to get everyone up to speed

  • on what the resources that are already out there

  • from Khan Academy,

  • obviously for over a decade

  • we've been building resources

  • that start you as early as pre-k our Khan Academy kids app

  • the it's suitable for students as young as three

  • all the way up through the first grade,

  • Common Core Standards up through six year olds

  • and then on the main Khan Academy app or website

  • you can for sure get math from kindergarten

  • all the way through middle school,

  • high school and the core of college

  • and also sciences at the high school level,

  • some humanities at the high school level

  • and we just launched what we call a beta,

  • which is almost like a pre-release

  • of English and language arts for grades 2 through 8.

  • We also have free SAT practice which is a partnership

  • with a college board that's in reading,

  • math and writing.

  • And we also have topics like economics and others

  • that I mean I could I could keep going on about.

  • So those resources were always all there

  • but as soon as we realized

  • that the school closure situation was happening

  • a few weeks ago,

  • we we realized we have to step up more,

  • we have to provide more resources.

  • So that's when we started the livestreams,

  • we've been running teacher and parent webinars

  • to help teachers and parents understand

  • what resources there are and how to get started.

  • We have also published a schedule,

  • a little over a week ago

  • that for students of different age groups,

  • what could be an indicative schedule for them,

  • how you can structure their day

  • leveraging resources from Khan Academy

  • and other resources including

  • you know dance videos on YouTube for your PE

  • or you might want to go outside and run around

  • or there might be some form of reading lists.

  • This week some of you all realize

  • we just did it a couple hours ago.

  • We are also experimenting with doing academic webinars.

  • So a few hours ago we ran our first one

  • which was on algebra and we focused on the topic

  • of systems of equations

  • and we had great you know we had a thousand students

  • participating and we're taking the video

  • and we're gonna put it on our YouTube channel

  • and probably promote on social media as well.

  • So you'll at least see a recording of it

  • and I hope many of you have a chance

  • to join some of these future classes.

  • So with that one thing I want to say

  • you know where we're trying to put out

  • all of these resources, but one question

  • that we're getting from a lot of parents is,

  • they're just feeling a little bit overwhelmed right now,

  • how do they focus on things,

  • you know are they doing a disservice to their children

  • if if they don't have everything

  • all figured out just yet.

  • And the one thing I want to make very clear to you is

  • no one has it all figured out just yet.

  • Even in my own house you know

  • I've figured out some what for especially my older kids

  • but my five-year-old we're figuring it out

  • but it is getting day day by day better.

  • And so I think the important thing

  • to appreciate as a parent,

  • there's a lot of things going on right now,

  • you're working from home,

  • a lot of people in this situation

  • where even they might not be able to work now

  • and then you have to there's childcare as an issue.

  • And so keep it simple,

  • especially in the first week or two

  • it's not the end of the world,

  • if things are a little bit less structured,

  • if your kids if you're just having

  • quality time with your kids

  • or just whatever it takes to get through the day.

  • But I think as as we go on,

  • try to just make sure that the kids get

  • a little bit of a reading every day,

  • a little bit of math every day.

  • We have suggestions obviously Khan Academy as a resource

  • for both and there's reading lists

  • for the on the reading side of things,

  • you know if your kids are old enough

  • encourage them to journal.

  • And then over time you could try to layer on more things,

  • try to do more and more of the types of schedules

  • we've published, those schedules are not meant to be rigid.

  • They are meant to be evolving documents.

  • We are evolving them and you can adapt them

  • to your own needs.

  • But this session we wanna make it

  • as interactive as possible.

  • So I encourage everyone, if you're on Facebook,

  • YouTube, Twitter start putting your questions in

  • and we have a team of Khan Academy folks,

  • we're gonna be looking at them

  • and surfacing the questions,

  • it looks like a lot of people are thinking about.

  • I also wanna introduce my colleague Dan too,

  • who's kind of co-hosting this livestream today

  • and we're gonna actually this is fun

  • 'cause we figured out the technology

  • hopefully over the coming livestreams

  • we'll be able to bring different guests in

  • and people who can help out with this,

  • but Dan's gonna help he's in contact with the team

  • that is surfacing the questions.

  • So please please send send in your questions.

  • I'll start with one I see Stacy Wilber from facebook says,

  • can you please put in an adult program

  • so adults can get their diplomas please.

  • Stacy that's one of the dreams of Khan Academy.

  • We don't issue things like diplomas

  • but I do we do know a lot of stories

  • about especially adults leveraging Khan Academy

  • to prepare for things like their GED

  • or their you know whatever graduate

  • requirements for high school diplomas they might have.

  • So that's where we could support you right now.

  • But it is a dream to one day be able to connect

  • to work on Khan Academy

  • to you know real life economic or academic outcomes.

  • And Dan feel free to jump in.

  • I see another question from Facebook Shahla Karimi,

  • says Salaam, I have fifth grade first grade

  • and something younger daughters,

  • why when it's a little typo,

  • they are all acting out

  • and they are really emotional

  • since they are home due to virus.

  • How can I help them?

  • Well shala that's a great question.

  • I think right now there's probably
