CAASPP Corner
This week in the CAASPP corner we're highlighting the Khan Academy app! It's pretty amazing! For example, the Math, which is Common Core is interactive: students can swipe and use their fingers to write in numbers. It's really easy and fun to use, and kids enjoy earning points and building their worlds with earned points. There are also test prep classes/resources for HS students, as well as all usual subjects.
