My problem was wanting to learn more about science in step by step methods so that it would be easier to understand.
My intentions were to find an app that taught lessons that could be looked at when you’re short on time. I wanted the lessons to come separately instead of having one big lesson on a certain area so that you could exit the app after looking at the lesson you needed.
To resolve my problem, I found an app available in the app store named Khan Academy. The app is very useful for on the go learning because its lessons are short but impactful, and not only does it teach science but a lot of other subjects as well. I looked through a couple of other science apps also, but this one was the one that stuck with me the most because it taught the lesson in a way that made it easy to remember for me personally. 
This app could help our science class greatly because with almost every lesson comes a video so that if you don’t understand the written parts of the lesson, it will also be explained in a video. The app does require Wi-Fi, but you can pre download lessons so that you won’t need Wi-Fi. It’s also quite fun because along the way, you earn badges and accomplishments. The app also tracks your progress so that you can see how well you’re doing so far. When you get onto the app, it immediately takes you to its ‘learn’ page, which consists of a few different subjects to learn about. In honesty, the app could cover more subjects, but it had enough for the science 9 course. I clicked on science and went onto the chemistry unit since I already had a basic knowledge of chemistry and wanted to know if it taught everything correctly and if it taught me more than I already knew. 
The lesson starts with going over your basic knowledge to see how much you know about the subject. There are four questions you have to answer, but if you don’t know the answer, don’t worry! The app gives you hints and will show you a video about the question so that you’ll understand better.
Once you finish the mini quiz, you go onto the first lesson which consists of a video to give you a quick introduction into the course.
If you finish the entire course and still have questions, you can go onto the ‘search’ page and search up whatever you don’t understand or need help with. Then, a whole bunch of videos and lessons will pop up to help you. 
Personally, I thought that this app was great for learning no matter what level of understanding you have of the subject.
QUESTIONS:
- The app helps users build skills by providing one lesson after another so that the learner is always learning more whenever they use the app. If the learner learns best with reading and watching videos, then this app will be very helpful.
- Kahn Academy is a pretty self-explanatory app and can be used by anyone. It doesn’t take long to figure out how to use it because everything is laid out in front of you the second you open the app.
- I’d say that the app is pretty innovative because not only does it offer to track your progress but it uses badges and accomplishments to motivate the user. It also lets the learner search for whatever they’re having troubles with and results show up in a matter of seconds. So yes, I think this app is quite innovative.
In conclusion, this app was very helpful to me because of all the video lessons it provided, but if watching video’s doesn’t help you, I recommend not trying this app because majority of the lessons are done through video. I think this app could be useful in the classroom if the teacher uses the videos as examples to go with his/her lesson instead of only putting on the video for us.
