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

Classes have begun......

By
The below is my reply to a comment, however thought that most of you would miss it on the comments page, so here is a part of it regarding the first week of school........... About engaging kids in a creative manner, I think they are doing a good job. Last week which was by the way the first week, they taught the alphabet 'A'. From what my daughter could tell me, they wrote several letters on the board and asked if anyone could identify the letter A and circle it, few of the kids did that. Then they showed them a couple of things that start with the letter A. Finally they handed out newspapers and asked the kids to identify and circle all the A's they could find on it. They did hand printing in art class. Also learnt the first 4 tamil alphabets and an alphabet song in the tamil class. Apart from this the regular rhymes, songs, a few exercise moves and the morning prayer. They have a TV in the classroom and play the rhymes, songs, alphabets and also occasionally Tom & Je...
