Student & Teacher Spotlight: The Power of Khanmigo in the Classroom
Earlier this week, Hobart High School's Mrs. Higgason and junior, Marin Ray, took to the stage to share with our teachers the power of Khan Academy’s learning tools. Marin provided the student perspective, demonstrating how students can use Khan Academy as both a tutor and a study partner. She highlighted the autonomy that Khanmigo (the platform’s Artificial Intelligence feature) gives students in directing their learning. Mrs. Higgason then explained the educational strategies, such as guided inquiry, that Khanmigo uses to engage and support students. Together, they demonstrated how today’s innovative resources can transform learning in the classroom. Way to #BEOP, ladies!
