Puzzicle

Love Khan Academy and Educational Youtube videos? ============================================ Then you will love this. Have you or your child ever watched an educational video and lost focus? Have you ever wished that a video was more engaging and interactive like a teacher-led lesson? Do you every wish you had a "teaching genie" to help? Then look no further. That's what Puzzicle does. How we do it =========== More and more learners are watching educational videos. But watching videos is not learning. Videos are not lessons. They lack interactivity and engagement. By providing questions, notes and guidance directly embedded in Khan Academy videos so that learners can truly be engaged by the wonderful resource that is Khan Academy. Educational Videos -vs- Puzzicle Lessons ================================= >> Experience Passive Consumption -vs- Active Participation >> Learning Style Watch & Chill -vs- Engage & Focus >> Outcomes Superficial Familiarity -vs- Internalization & Retention So go ahead, *get the extension*, if you haven't already! STILL haven't downloaded the extension? ================================= Hear from an actual learner - Watch this video: https://youtu.be/ETXboP8Ev-M and see why Puzzicle was invented and how this learner uses Puzzicle. Not convinced yet? Read "Our story". Our Story ======== Puzzicle was created during Covid-19 because we found that our kids needed our help constantly. Sure, they could reach out to their teachers, but by the time they sent an email out and got a response it would be the next day. Our kids were also covering material that wasn't taught in school, and as they went a few grades ahead, they began to find things getting difficult. All of Sal Khan's explanations are great, but if you are going "above grade" you really need to focus. And when Sal says "Pause the video and try it out yourself", you really need to do that. But many learners lean back and consume and they don't pause videos, they merely familiarize themselves with material. They don't LEARN. And that's why we created Puzzicle. It allows kids to have teacher-guided videos without a teacher or a parent actually being there! Teachers ======= You want nothing more for your learners than success. And success means their ability to learn when they are outside the classroom so that you can focus on the stuff that really delivers excellence. So Puzzicle is really a teacher companion tool. International Parents & Teachers ========================== If you aren't in the United States, you may wonder, why use Khan Academy? Khan Academy is great for foundational learning regardless of where you are in the world. Physics, Math, Chemistry and Biology are all the same anywhere in the world and so we'd encourage you to try it. NOT just Khan Academy ==================== We support videos from some of the best kids Youtube Channels including Mark Rober, Numberphile, TED, National Geographic, Crash Course, among others.
