What is it?
Founded by two former teachers in 2011, LearnZillion offers a free and growing set of math and English Language resources for grades 2-12 that combines short video lessons, assessments, playlists, and progress reports. These videos provide grade-level appropriate, conceptual, visual explanations that can be used by both kids and adults. Each lesson focuses on a specific sub-standard, and can be organized by teachers into custom playlists for students.
Teachers use LearnZillion videos and resources for everything from whole class instruction to small group and independent work, as well as for homework assignments and to enable parents to help support student learning at home.
How it works:
You create a free teacher account and after you sign up for an account, you can browse through the different lessons. When you click on a lesson, you have the option of downloading the material so you can adapt it as you see fit to meet the needs of your students. You can also download printable resources that go along with the video lesson. You can share the video lesson on an LCD screen and/or you can also assign the lesson to a class-so students can do it in the computer lab, or take it home for additional practice.
You could share the lesson content as a whole class activity using an LCD projector. If you want the students to access the content so they can do it on individual computers, there are two ways that students can access the lesson you have assigned. (With login information or without login information)
With login information: When you add students, it will give you an enrollment code. Students click on the student login page, copy and paste the enrollment code, and then come up with a username and password. After that they have access to any lessons you have assigned.
Without login information: If you don’t want your students to have login information, you can get a quick code from a lesson. The students would then put their quick code in, and the lesson will show up on their screen.
Wow, a tech snack that is free and has an abundance of printable resources, now that's what I call teacher friendly! Happy snacking!
