printKhan Academy: It’s Different This Time
by lessismore
Over the past year, it’s become difficult to have a conversation about education and education reform without mentioning the words “Khan Academy.” For those who aren’t familiar, Khan Academy is a website that offers free instructional videos on everything from basic arithmetic to multi-variable calculus. Its founder, Sal Khan, originally started the site to help tutor his cousins in math. Today, millions of students across the world have used it for homework help and test prep, while major school districts have begun to incorporate Khan Academy into their curriculum. Some even wonder whether it will eventually replace teachers altogether.
