My goal for this week was to get through three units in 5th Grade Reading, Grammar, and Vocab and I didn’t even make it through one. 😒 To be fair, I did manage to watch ten videos, read nine articles, and finish seven exercises, but they were all super simple so I don’t think it’s anything to be too proud… Read More Week 372 – The Flu, Pronouns, and Starting to See How Language Works
I’m pretty happy with how this past week went on KA, although — surprise, surprise — I didn’t get as much done as I was hoping to. I made it through two units in Grade 5 ELA and probably spent 7-8 hours working on KA, overall. All the content I worked through was pretty easy,… Read More Week 371 – A Grammar Lesson, an AI-Generated Quiz, and a Potential Turning Point for Education
This week went pretty well for me on KA, although I definitely didn’t get through the four units I was hoping to get through. 🤦🏻♂️ I did, however, make it through two units and probably spent 7-8 hours working on KA in total, so I had that going for me which was nice. Once again, the content I… Read More Week 370 – Eight Hours of Study, Two Units Complete, and Plenty of Words to Learn
It was a pretty bad week for me on KA. 😒 I likely only studied for 3-4 hours. My week got off to a good start as I finished the Course Challenge in 4th Grade Reading and Vocab on Tuesday, but after that I only made it through two videos, one article, and two exercises. I… Read More Week 369 – One Course Challenge Complete, and a New Idea for Khan Academy
This was one of the first productive weeks I’ve had in a LONG time. ☺️ To be fair, I only studied for around 5 hours and all the content I got through was simple, but I just about finished three units in 4th Grade Reading and Vocab, and now only have two exercises and the course challenge left… Read More Week 368 – Three Units Down, and Learning to Pay Attention
This was an interesting for me. In terms of KA, I actually got a decent amount of work done getting through two units in the 4th Grade Reading and Vocab course. The disappointing part, however, is that I’m guessing I only studied for between three and four hours. 👎🏼 As I mentioned last week, I find it difficult… Read More Week 367 – Alpha School, EdTech, and a Potential New Direction
My eighth year using KA got off to a decent start but, as often is the case, it also could have been better.I’m guessing I only studied for 3.5 hours, which is pretty disappointing. I managed to get through a decent amount of videos, articles, etc., but it was all incredibly easy given that the… Read More Week 366 – A New Subject, a Slow Start, and the Fascinating World of Words
It’s for the best that this will be my last week studying CS because it was once again another pitiful effort on my part. 👎🏼 I did manage to get through Unit 7 and therefore finish off Intro to Computer Science – Python, but not in the way I would have liked. I ended up using Gemini… Read More Week 365 – Computer Science Complete: A New Direction for Khan Academy
This is going to be a very short post. I’m sad to say that I studied less this week than in any of the 363 weeks leading up to this point. 😒 I’m guessing I spent less than two hours studying CS. It’s not a good excuse, but once again had a very busy week which definitely… Read More Week 364 – A Major Pivot: CodaKaizen, University Students, and a New Learning Goal
It was another really bad week for me studying CS. 👎🏼 I think I studied for less than 5 hours which is the first time that’s happened in months. I had an abnormally social Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and didn’t study at all any of those days… I also spent a lot of time thinking about CodaKaizen… Read More Week 363 – A Slow Week in Computer Science, and a New Direction for CodaKaizen
