Chronicle Herald Online & Khan Academy

A couple of quick hitters for this PD week.
 
We have access to the Chronicle Herald online for individual or class use.
 
The username is:  brownt@ccrsb.ca 
Password:  123456
 
A demo/instructional video can be found by clicking on the white question mark in the red box along the top of the page.
 
Another excellent site is Khan Academy.  An extensive collection of videos is available, broken down into individual skills for most topics including Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Economics & Computing.  Accounts may be set up to track usage, and/or to reward students with "badges" for achieving various learning objectives.
 
 
Apps for Khan Academy are available for IOS and Android.  Khan Academy is very popular with those who are using the Flipped Classroom: a popular (fairly new) technique used by many educators where students learn their content/skills  at home using videos, classroom time is then used to further discuss this content rather than lecturing.  Check it out here:
