Shmoop is a digital publishing company with “a point of view”. We seek to empower and broaden the range and depth of choices students have in life. Our teaching "method" revolves around the basic notion that learning is often too hard - so we carry gallons of academic WD-40 which we squirt on the tracks whenever we can. At NeoK12, we believe that kids learn best when they 'see' how things work, when, where and why they happen.Watching educational videos is a great way to learn because it allows kids to build a visual picture or model in their mind.The visual dimension not only helps them understand concepts better, but also stimulates curiosity and encourages self-learning. Educational videos are possibly one of the most effective learning tools, and honestly, even most grown-ups will find them enriching and entertaining as well. |
