It was really useful.
ReplyDeleteUE
To 'undo' the bad influence my very short sample comment might have, I'll try to add a more appropriate one. Like this:
ReplyDeleteI watched the video about computer programming, the very basic one http://www.khanacademy.org/video/introduction-to-programs-data-types-and-variables?playlist=Computer+Science because I knew nothing about it before.
It was interesting and understandable enough and I think I might try it to see if it works. Also I heard how to say math symbols, like
'is equal to'
'times to' for multiplication
which might be useful for me.
I did not find any exercises there, so I clicked on 'practice' and did the exercise on measuring angles. Just for fun. I haven't measured any angles since I went to school ages ago and never on a computer, so I also had to watch the video Stuck? Watch a video. (bottom-right) which helped me to do it. It was fun and informative.
UE KE Le
- now it is possible to copy the link and find it if anybody else wants to do that, also there is some information about it for others.
I watched the video about brain teasers http://www.khanacademy.org/video/toggler-brain-teaser?playlist=Brain+Teasers , because it seemed interesting, and it was. Entertaining as well!
ReplyDeleteHK EK1
I chose the video Distance Between Planes (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/distance-between-planes?playlist=IIT+JEE+Questions), because I had to practice for upcoming test in Linear Algebra this Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteIt was really easy to understand, but because in class we had different approach to this subject instead of understanding it, it made me doubt my previous knowledge. So I had to watch one more video. During the second video Point Distance to Plane (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/point-distance-to-plane?playlist=IIT+JEE+Questions) I tried to put differences aside, and it was easier to follow, but the end did not match what I have learned: point distance to plane has not a negative value!

I watched the video about vitamin C usefull and life saving effects and also about who discovered it http://www.khanacademy.org/video/vitamin-c-and-the-limeys?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy
ReplyDeleteI chosed it because it seemed interesting.
It was intresting and broadend my mind.
AK-EK-1
I watched the video about brain teasers http://www.khanacademy.org/video/toggler-brain-teaser?playlist=Brain+Teasers, becausu I like these kind of a things. Video was very interesting. I actually tryed to solve this exercise myself, but yes...I couldn´t.
ReplyDeleteRL EK 1
I watched the video about Big Bang theory http://www.khanacademy.org/video/big-bang-introduction?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy, I chose this video, because I have always wanted to know how everything began and actually I've done some research on my own about the Big Bang theory. I wouldn't say that I got a lot of new information while watching the video, but nevertheless it was really interesting for me.
ReplyDeleteKK EK1
I watched video about passing trains http://www.khanacademy.org/video/passing-trains?playlist=Algebra beacause it seemed similar to pysics.
ReplyDeleteSo i enjoyed it and of course i liked this video beacause i love pysics!
I watched video about ellips http://www.khanacademy.org/video/foci-of-an-ellipse?playlist=Algebra, because I did not understand it before but now I know something about it. It was very interesting and i liked this video.
ReplyDeleteinteresting video
ReplyDeleteI chose "http://www.khanacademy.org/video/getting-at-least-one-heads?playlist=Probability". The reason I picked this one is that I find probabilities quite interesting and you can use them practically everywhere. Actually, with this video I was unlucky and I knew all the stuff... But the learning method is quite beneficial and I think I'll visit this page again.
ReplyDeleteTH EG-1
I watched video about Sample and Population Mean
ReplyDeletehttp://www.khanacademy.org/video/statistics--sample-vs--population-mean?playlist=Statistics
I chose this video because next semester I need to take statistics. Explained simply and clearly
MF EG-3
I watched video about Refraction in Water http://www.khanacademy.org/video/refraction-in-water?playlist=Physics
ReplyDeleteI chose this video, beacause it´s about Physics and I´m intrested of it. Before I didn´t know why things seem to be fractured in water, but now I do, so it was interesting and useful.
JK EK1
I watched a video about''Let's use video to reinvent education.''
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html
Well I chose that video because, it was intresting to hear,which diffrent ways are learning in internet.How they can learn from youtube videos whitout any teacher.It was very strange for me,but also viewed to future I think it might be real 20 yearsl later or something.
ET EG-II
Wonderful, well done!
ReplyDeleteCould anybody else comment on the "Distance Between Planes"? Can it be actually wrong? I'd expect the videos be correct, but of course it may happen that something is not 'quite so'?
Thanks to the people who have taken the trouble up to now!
(P.S "interested IN" is the phrase)
I just watched video about Inroduction to Matrices. There is the video link( http://www.khanacademy.org/video/introduction-to-matrices?playlist=Linear+Algebra )that I watched.
ReplyDeleteThe video was intresting and educational. First of all, the lenght of video was fine and that was enough for that topic. When I had watched that video, that topic was or is more understandable for me.
AV EG-2
I watched a video about gravity in space. Link: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/gravity-for-astronauts-in-orbit?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy . Video was interesting to listen and quite easy to follow. The video was nicely produced and the length was not tiring at all.
ReplyDeleteRS EG-2
I chose to watch a video about Ponzi schemes: "http://www.khanacademy.org/video/ponzi-schemes?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy"
ReplyDeleteI had heard the term but didn't have an exact understanding of it. The video explained it very neatly and after watching it I understand the principle behind Ponzi schemes.
AJ EK1
I watched a video about the scale of the galaxy. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/scale-of-the-galaxy?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy
ReplyDeleteI chose it because it sounded interesting and gave information about the galaxy we live in. I wouldn't call it particularly useful, but it's interesting to know how large our galaxy actually is. It was quite easy to understand.
JJ, EK1
Hello,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I wanted to thank you for introducing us this amazing site for highly scientific videos. There are so many great topics so it was quite difficult to select one.I'm pretty sure I will be back soon for more videos.
Now to the video, I selected,
http://www.khanacademy.org/video/supernova--supernovae?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy
because I'm really excited about astronomy and space itself. Among the various topics I selected the one I have heard but didn't know the actual meaning. It was the Supernova. Now I know it means the explosion of a star and the formation of heavier elements. Also this video discussed about Black holes, Uranium on Earth and the formation of our solar system. In general the video was comfortable to watch, because the narrator or the lecturer had a clear voice. Also the "blackboard" was better than our regular blackboards in real life since the colours used were much more brighter and colourful, which means everything was clear and well organised. Not to mention the ability to paste pictures and draw on them in order to explain the topic better. If you don't understand some parts you can always play the video again- you cant do that in real lecture. And even more they have given us some exercises about the subject, which troubled me at first but after watching the video again I got the answers.
Going for more videos,
A.Mõttus EG-I
I watched the video about voltage. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/voltage?playlist=Physics
ReplyDeleteWhere he explained what's the differece between electric potensial as known as volatage and elecric potensial energy.
I chose it because this subject is connected with our seciality and it seemed intresting. It wasnt so educational as I would have hopped.
MM, EK1
The video I watched, was called : Scale of Earth and Sun. Link : http://www.khanacademy.org/video/scale-of-earth-and--sun?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy
ReplyDeleteI chose this lecture, because it seemed very interesting and after watching this, I didn't have to dissapoint. The basic idea of the video was to prove that sun is enormous with a very simple example from real life.
MM, EG1
I watched a video about algebra.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.khanacademy.org/video/algebra--linear-equations-4?playlist=Algebra
I wathced it because i like maths. It was easy for me to understand everything because i have allready learned it in high school.
KA EK1
I watched a video about''Passing trains''
ReplyDeletehttp://www.khanacademy.org/video/passing-trains?playlist=Algebra. I chosed that video quite randomly, so i had no idea it was about a math question. In the video he explained some laws of physics while telling how to solve the task.
LP EG1
I watched video about "Introduction to Light" http://www.khanacademy.org/video/introduction-to-light?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy
ReplyDeleteI chose this video,because I was attracted by the name of topic. This video was amazing and very interesting for me. Majority of information,I learned from school. I always listened with great interest the lecture about the properties of light. Previously, I had no idea that all the colors that we see, all this is just one light - white light.
AO EK1
I chose this video http://lingiti.blogspot.com/2011/11/kahn-academy.html because of topic. I'm realy has been interested about what have we learned from 5mil books. I found this video quite interesting even funny. There are talking about the difference between books in the past and nova days. I like how has been prodused this video and the lenght of it.
ReplyDeleteVV EK1
I watched a video about Acceleration (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/acceleration?playlist=Physics) to help me learn for the Physics test. The video was good, but not very helpful, as it covered only the basics. Also it would have been easier to understand if the example would have been in the metric-system.
ReplyDeleteSK EH1
I looked a video about smiling.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ted.com/talks/ron_gutman_the_hidden_power_of_smiling.html
It helped understood what means smiling for us.

I watched a video about viruses (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/viruses?playlist=Biology). This video was very exciting and I learned a lot of about viruses. Biology is an interesting and educating. I watch these videos more.
ReplyDeleteE. R.
I watched a video about cards posibility. I learned it in 12 class and it was very easy to me. it's just math.
ReplyDeleteI watched a video about Newton's second law of motion : http://www.khanacademy.org/video/newton-s-second-law-of-motion?playlist=Physics
ReplyDeleteThe video was great and understandable. It says that, for example if I push a rock with a force then the rock will have it's own acceleration. It'll move. I'll surely watch physics videos more because I want to make things clear for myself.
RH EH1
I watched the video about finding average in mathematics: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/averages?playlist=Algebra . I chose it beacuse I thought it was easy but some exercises weren’t easy some were difficult.
ReplyDeleteRR VE-I
I watched the video - Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education.
ReplyDeleteIt was very intresting to hear about our future in school class.

I wached actually two videos about fluids:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.khanacademy.org/video/fluids--part-1?playlist=Physics http://www.khanacademy.org/video/fluids--part-2?playlist=Physics
I chose the first one because i am interested in physics and i study water management, so i thaught a lecuture about fluids is perfect. I found the lecture very interesting and usefull and because one lecture didn't answer all my questions, i had to watch also the second part, witch did answer my question. Thank you for introducing Khan lectures to us. I will definetly watch more video lectures from that site.
HDO VE-I
I watched video- Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education. It wast the first video and it was intresting to hear how many schools use Khan academy vidoes for giving education to students.
ReplyDeleteM.K Ta-1
I watched a video about Newton`s First Law of Motion(http://www.khanacademy.org/video/newton-s-first-law-of-motion?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy)
ReplyDeleteI have chosen this video because it seemed interesting and essentially important. It was useful to me as it gave simple and clear overview of the first law of Newton.I did not find it difficult to understand the content of the video.
TK VE1
I watched the video Scale of Earth and Sun. The link of this video is http://www.khanacademy.org/video/scale-of-earth-and--sun?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy.
ReplyDeleteI chose the video because it seemed to be interesting. Of course I knew the number before but it was nice to see the examples from real life (jet and bullet). It was good presentation about the fact we all know but we just don't think about it all the time.
MK TA1
I watched the video about "Heart Disease and Heart Attacks".
ReplyDeleteI chose this video, because it seemed interesting. The lecture was educative and useful. I learned some new phrases and the video was understandable.
MR TA-3
I watched a video called the chain rule from http://www.khanacademy.org/video/the-chain-rule?playlist=Calculus. I chose this video because I already knew somethings about the chain rule and I wanted to know is there something educating for me that I did not know and now can obtain. But saddly there was not. I knew everything the man explained in the video. The funny thing is that now I know that I know all about the chain rule and that I remember a thing or two from my gymnasium.
ReplyDeleteKM TA2
I watched the video : http://www.khanacademy.org/video/hubble-image-of-galaxies?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy I chose this video because it seemed to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteVE-I SS
I watched the video about Number Sets
ReplyDeletehttp://www.khanacademy.org/video/number-sets-1?playlist=Algebra+I+Worked+Examples
Choice was random, but video was very understandable and it was very nice to remind mathematics from 10th grade.
RR TA-I
I watched the video Carry Trade Basics from the following link: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/carry-trade-basics?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy
ReplyDeleteI chose this video because I have some interest in money barrowing and this short video explained it in larger scale. It was interesting to watch, but somewhat too quick (speech was too quick in my opinion).
TA-3
I watched video http://www.khanacademy.org/video/vitamin-c-and-the-limeys?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy
ReplyDeleteChoice was random, but i found out that, if you squeeze out the juice whats in the lime then you cant get vitamin c.You just have to eat it raw.
MM VE I
I watched video called: Conic Sections: Intro to Ellipses (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/conic-sections--intro-to-ellipses?playlist=Algebra). I chose it beacause we studied it in Analytic geometry and we have to do a test on it soon, so it was good to recall Ellips.
ReplyDeleteI also did an exercise Equation of an ellipse (http://www.khanacademy.org/exercises?exid=equation_of_an_ellipse). It was pretty easy for me. But first I thought that major radius was always under the x, but actually it was the bigger number. It all was fun and maybe in the future I watch these videos when i need to study for something.
KL EH1
I watched a video 3-D Path Counting Brain Teaser. I chose this because I like brain teasers, this one was quite an easy one though.
ReplyDeleteMK TA 1
I watched http://www.khanacademy.org/video/airbus-a380-take-off-time?playlist=Physics .
ReplyDeleteChoice was pretty random. The video wasnt very interesting, but I think that it was a very good lecture for beginners, beacause everything was explained.
VEI-MI PL
I watched video http://www.khanacademy.org/video/four-fundamental-forces?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy
ReplyDeleteI choosed the video because i wanted to know what are those forces. And after i watched this then i found out there are stronger forces what beats the gravity force in a big way.
MK EH I
I watched a video Firestick farming. I chose this because I like how people do this work. Worker must be very careful. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/firestick-farming?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy
ReplyDeleteSS VE1
I watched video about black holes (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/black-holes?playlist=Cosmology%20and%20Astronomy&sort=2#comments).
ReplyDeleteI already knew most on it, but there were some facts what i didnt know, like why white dwarfs wont collapse further. In conclusion, it was pretty useful to me and it reminded some numbers and facts.
ML TA-2
I watched a video about "American-Chinese Debt Loop" (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/american-chinese-debt-loop?playlist=Currency).
ReplyDeleteSome obvious things were explained excessively. Overall the video was educative, especially if you want to learn the basics about money circulation of the US and Chainese goverments. Not a big challange for a person who already knows the basics. Probably should have watched a more depth video.
AR EH1
I watched video about Airbus A380 take-off time calculation. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/airbus-a380-take-off-time?playlist=Physics
ReplyDeleteI chose it quite randomly and it was interesting. If you think of the weight of the plane and the time to take off... it's so fast!
TA II
I watched a video about Work and Energy (http://www.khanacademy.org/video/work-and-energy--part-2?playlist=Physics)
ReplyDeleteThings were explained simply and understandable. Some time ago we had same topic in our physics lesson, and the teacher in video lesson explained things in the same way with our teacher. Examples were very easily scrutable, explained with simple words.
I think those videos are mostly all useful and when I have studied same topic before in the class the Khan Academy lessons can remind things perfectly.
MV EH1
I watched a video about http://www.khanacademy.org/video/vitamin-c-and-the-limeys?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy
ReplyDeleteJust a first choice i saw.
I found out that british army won battle of trafalgar cause discovery of using limes but i think it wasn't main reason.
Had to take vitamin-c after this vid.
MT TA-3
I watched a video about moral operating system.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ted.com/talks/damon_horowitz.html
In my opinion it was interesting to listen. Also this video made me think about what is right and what is wrong. I recommend everybody to watch this video
I watched a video about foci of a hyperbola.http://www.khanacademy.org/video/foci-of-a-hyperbola?playlist=Algebra
ReplyDeleteI chose it because, I have test in math on thursday. Also it was useful to watch this video before test. It helped me to understan bette about foci of a hyperbola. I recommend these videos everybody, who have to learn something like I in Math.
KO-VE1
I watched a video about race cars with constand speed http://www.khanacademy.org/video/race-cars-with-constant-speed-around-curve?playlist=Physics
ReplyDeleteI thought it's interesting but it wasn't, because it was too easy and i knew it before.
MP EH1
I watched a video about Viruses. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/viruses?playlist=Biology
ReplyDeleteEarlier i knew basic thing about viruses, but now i see a bigger picture. The life that is in our cells is very interesting. In video i saw interesting pictures about viruses on our white blood cells. I definitely learned something new from the video, so it was worth watching!
LG EH1
http://www.khanacademy.org/video/heart-disease-and-heart-attacks?playlist=New+and+Noteworthy
ReplyDeleteThis was the video i watched. It accually never before interested me, what the "heart attack" means, and what happens during it. But now, after watching the video, most of the basic staff came clear to me. SO IT WAS WORTH A WATCH. THANK YOU.
I watched a video about truthteller & liar brain teaser. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/liar-truthteller-brain-teaser?playlist=Brain+Teasers
ReplyDeleteI tried to solve this myself, but I couldn't make it so when I heard the solution I was suprised that it was that easy actually. Really entertaining video and now I can ask my friends to solve this mystery just for fun. I really liked it.
MR TA-2
I watched the video about the lungs and pulmonary system. The link is : http://www.khanacademy.org/video/the-lungs-and-pulmonary-system?playlist=Biology
ReplyDeleteI decided to watch this video because it seemed to be interesting for me. I have always liked biology and i had somekind of knowledge about the pulmonary system. Now I am more smarter than before because I know how the system works. Maybe I can explain it even in english. It was very understandable.
TR Ve1
Thank you for the comments - some of them were really encouraging for me, too - and I hope you do remember the Academy when you need help with your studies!
ReplyDeleteIt was a cool video:D
ReplyDeleteMR
I had no time to watch those videos!
ReplyDeleteRP, EH 1
I watched the video about the scale of distance to closest star from our solar system. http://www.khanacademy.org/video/scale-of-distance-to-closest-stars?playlist=Cosmology+and+Astronomy Watching that video gave a understanding, how large the universe actually is and it made me think about aliens and possibilities of meeting some other life-forms. It also kinda frustrated me, because i realized, that there is so much to explore in the space, but we don't have the technology to do that.
ReplyDeleteI think the video was really good and i will surely use this site more often.
