The Khan Academy is an online repository of lessons, practice questions and instructional videos that has been recently added to the Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) toolbox to help students and parents better understand the material being taught in schools. Marie Verhaar, director of Standards Based Curriculum and Instruction for FWPS, shared some of the advantages the Khan Academy access could bring to students in the district. “The Khan Academy offers a library of over 3,000 videos covering K-12 math and science topics, such as biology, chemistry and physics,” Verhaar said at the March 27 school board meeting. “Each video on their site is…approximately 10 minutes long and designed to be viewed on the computer. If you have an iPhone, there’s an app for that. It’s called the Khan Archives and you can pull up anything you ever wanted to know about math and science concepts and watch a video right there.”
