Kahn Academy gives me the ability to assign a very specific and detailed set of tasks to my students. However, it does not let me differentiate and assign different tasks to different students within the same class. I've used it with my small group of Sting students this fall since Kahn Academy is a reputable resource for showing success with remediation. I chose to assign a section of ratios and proportions to the students. I clicked on 5 different subtopics associated with ratios and proportions to assign to students, which resulted in assigning over 100 separate tasks (videos, practice and "quizzes") to all of the students. Once I realized this, I had to go back and deselect a lot of the tasks.
In addition, the students used Kahn Acadamy for several days and were not excited at all about the site. The videos were okay, but the practice was confusing.
