Community Review for CK-12
My Take
Being a teacher in a low-income community school, this website can serve as a textbook for my students, right at home. It helps students as a centralized resource that they can use to further their knowledge.
I think it could be better if relevant Youtube links to videos were attached, for learners who prefer to understand the content in a more audio-visual manner.
How I Use It
I plan on using this in class as well as a pre-reading tool.
The usage has a tendency for failure, if students aren't invested enough to read the content on their own time.
