So thanks for joining our morning livestream

here at Khan Academy, we're calling it something

And every day we are trying different types of technology,

hopefully it works out, but definitely bear with us.

I think we've definitely improved from earlier this week

when I was operating from my not-so-great wifi.

So thanks for joining, for those of y'all

that this is the first day you're joining

this homeroom, it's really a way for all of us to connect.

As I'm sure many of you know, and are experiencing,

we now have over 40 million students in America

And we have approaching a billion kids around the world

And over the last few, well really over the last decade,

Khan Academy has inadvertently building things

but we have over the years created things

like Khan Academy Kids for early learners,

Covers the head start standards, all the way

through first grade, and reading, writing, math,

And I guess you could say the main Khan Academy,

whether you're on the website, or you're on our app,

it goes for sure all the way in math through elementary,

A lot of people associate us with videos,

In fact, most of what we put resources to

are interactive exercises that have solutions

of practice, they get feedback, there's game mechanics

to make sure they really mastered the concept,

there's data and reporting for teachers or parents

but the exercise items, I think, are quite good.

That goes from second through eighth grade.

not only do we have the math, but we also

have the sciences, biology, chemistry, physics,

I actually highly recommend high school biology,

I think you have the math background to handle it,

And we also have SAT practice in reading,

writing, and math, and that's an official partnership

and we realized last week that we've got to be able

we launched the schedules on Khan Academy.

There could be links, depending on what social media

channel you're looking at, you could also just

we have banners that lead you to the schedules

For young students, middle school students,

high school students, elementary school students,

and we've been getting a lot of good feedback from that,

and we're constantly tweaking it so it becomes

that was a long parenthetical, the purpose of this

homeroom is to, as folks work at their own time and pace,

on those types of schedules, to feel a connectedness.

When you're in a real school, there's a homeroom,

and there's announcements, and we get to see each other.

We get to kind of prepare our minds for the day.

it's for teachers, just as a way to start their day.

A couple of announcements, as many of y'all know,
