Free Online Learning Videos - CBSE Class 10

By Categories: 

Everyday a new online learning site pops up. Many are paid and some are free. When searching for CBSE class 10 online learning concept videos some things to look out for are

  • Audio and video clarity
  • Understandable Language 
  • 7 minutes duration or lesser
  • Teacher engagement
  • A knowledge tracker

A few of the online classes cater to specific entrance exams like IIT-JEE, NEET or NID. Brands like  Allen, Bansal, FIITJEE cater to JEE and Aakash and Brilliant for NEET. But these can be opted for once you decide your group in class 11. 

For Class 10, If you have not enrolled in any of the paid coaching classes, then you can look at some free alternatives to improve your understanding of concepts.

Byjus 

This is currently free for the duration of the pandemic. The advantages are
  • Sticks closely to NCERT / CBSE Curriculum
  • Animated Concept Videos
  • Enthusiastic Teachers
  • Live Classes 
  • A Learning path Tracker
  • Basic Testing
  • And a gamified testing model is also available.

You can try the paid version if you need Social Studies also.

Some of the issues with Byjus are
  • Long Videos, they don't teach to the point instead give you a lot of background. If you are a relatively smart person it can get boring too soon. Their Live classes are better and to the point.
  • Most teachers are good but sometimes they do have over enthusiastic or boring teachers.

Khan Academy

This is free and it can be used as a learning management tool as well. The advantages are
  • Extensive material available
  • Quality of the video lessons are really good
  • They have CBSE learning paths that stick pretty close to the curriculum.
  • They have board prep path that has shorter videos which are to the point.
  • The Learning Path tracker is really good.
  • The test questions are geared towards deeper understanding.
  • The have content for K-12, so you can stick with it for your entire schooling.
The disadvantages are
  • Language may be a barrier for students struggling with english, they have launched a hindi version as well so that might be of some help.
  • Videos may be a bit long in the usual track, board prep videos are shorter and to the point
  • The questions may not prepare you for Class 10 board type answers.
  • Social studies not available

Century Learning

This is free for the duration of school closures for COVID. 
  • This is a really good platform for strong concept understanding. 
  • The outstanding feature is their testing methodology. 
  • You can take away a very clear and deep understanding of a concept and build on it step by step. 

It may not be aligned to CBSE curriculum but it is very good for concept building. Give the free version a shot and you will see how different this is from the rest.

You have to see a few videos in each to figure out which style suits you the best. Then stick to it. The idea should be to get the maximum understanding from minimum material in the least amount of time. So choose wisely.

LKG Admissions @ SBOA School and Junior College 2012 - 2013

By
I'm putting my second child in SBOA this year, and the first round of admissions are in progress. My! the fees have gone up this year, but looking at the other schools, including Matric schools, SBOA has managed to keep the fees lower than the city average. The admission process was smooth and quick. We finished meeting the Principal in about 30mins from the time we got there. All that's left is, to pay the fees and start the joining formalities. I'm glad that my kid got in, as I already have another child studying in 1st Std in SBOA. She enjoys going to school. At 50 kids a class, it is a crowd but their systematic way of doing things more than makes up for it. Good luck to all those applying for admissions @ SBOA this year.   For more info check at the below site http://www.sboajc.org/admission.html Photo courtesy Stuart Miles @ freedigitalimages.net

SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE - LKG Interview

By
We had applied for a seat in LKG at SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE on the 21st of Jan 2009. The interview was scheduled for the 31st Jan 2009. We just completed the interview yesterday. We were worried that we might have to wait for ever as there were over a thousand candidates to be interviewed (For, I guess around approximately 600 seats). However, the interview process was conducted so smoothly that it must have taken considerable amount of planning from the SBOA school authorities. We were through with the entire process within an hour, including a waiting time of around 40 Min's. The interviewer was friendly and asked my daughter a few simple questions like her name, colour of the dress she was wearing and to name a couple of common animals (by showing her toy animals). On the whole a very friendly and non-intimidating interview. After this, the applications get passed to another school staff, to whom t...

LKG Interview @ SBOA - A Review

By
It is a big relief for us that the LKG interview at SBOA went smoothly. And as I sit back and think what helped and what didn't, a few facts did surprise me. The kids did need to know a few basic things for the interview and I think all the kids who came for this one were prepared. The main distinguishing factor was the stress levels of the parents, the more the parents were stressed about the whole process, the kids clung to them, when the parents treated this as any normal outing, the kids were more adventurous. Once the parents were able to relax the kids were more like their usual self. Believe me when I say, this was not the place or the time to keep pushing the kids to say hello to the other waiting kids or parents as every kid in that place was already intimidated by the crowed. The other striking feature I noticed was that when the Parents pretended to let the kids lead them to either the interview room or to the application counters, the kids automatically took control.
