With the backing of Gates and Google, Khan Academy and its free online educational videos are moving into the classroom and across the world. Their goal: to revolutionize how we teach and learn. Sanjay Gupta reports.
Wheelchair Coder, most of the people are ashamed of saying this, what you’ve said right now. You’re so bold! It’s never too late to learn something new. Cheers!
Being a user for Khan Academy, I absolutely love it. I've excelled my math class, and I use Khan on my free time to get ahead even further, as well as use it for computer programming. I would recommend it to anyone.
"Free Education Everywhere for Everyone Forever" what an amazing idea and a wonderful ideology! Thanks so much for caring for poor and rich across the globe.#KhanAcademy#SalmanKhan#
I am so happy for him! He is such a genius. He desserves every attention he is getting and more! His videos are really helpful, and his voice is very nice to listen to and you could hear his excitement and his passion which doesnt make it boring at all!!!
+Seybora GotBangtanPinkMixeride It is good that you understand the material. I first started watching my 8th grade year and I am proud he is actually doing this for a living.
Sal helped me a lot. He made my life better and it's for free! Sal doesn't care about money, he cares about helping people and only a few people would do that. Sal thank you so much!
I wish i could thank Sal personally. What he has created has helped me learn topics that i thought were difficult simply because i didn’t know enough. I’ve never valued learning this much.
Great work Sir.... people just talk...thats not the real work.Hopefully i see this work of your in trasforming real education...covering basics and for every level of child.Its easy,simple & understable.Thank you Sir.Good Work.
Zoe is in 5th grade in Raleigh/Durham. Her class and teacher LOVE Khan. They use Khan Academy everyday in the class. Thank you so much. God bless you Mr. Khan
I absolutely love what's he's doing. The first time I went there I was clueless about what I was doing, now it's no problem. I hope this stays here free forever. Love when people use their knowledge for good. I hope with this help i too can go to an ivy league college and excel. Don't ever change khan academy !
people like him are real inspiration for our generation, watching this video what, i feel about him is that he is very down to earth , simple, honest, kind and of course immensely talented and intelligent that is the reason he is getting so much appreciation and success, May Allah bless him with best of his rewards , all the best KHAN
Khan is an incredible tool, and I use it in my classroom as a supplemental resource. However, it doesn't work for everyone. There are some students that are just not motivated and need instruction from an actual person.
Know I'm way late to this, Keith, but I completely disagree. I'm double majoring in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering right now, and have used Sal's videos every step of the way (not his software, but again, we're talking K-12, not junior and senior university level work). His videos were essential to my success in Physics 1 (kinematics), 2 (electricity and magnetism), much of 3 (modern Physics and relativity), along with Calculus 1, 2, and 3... If we're talking about education on the k-12 level, Khans work can absolutely educate more kids all the way into Calculus 3 (advanced Calc is what HS's call it?) and college level physics (Freshman level anyway, which is all a HS student would be doing).
As a homeschooling mother of three, and an educator, I am loving Khan Academy, and have for several years now. What a great way to teach- It's how I always have taught....Thanks!
Wonderful, the education has to change right away. I hope my country could adopt this type of platform to teach children. Schooling is the base of a society
My 6 year daughter loves the Khan Academy Kids. It is excellent in providing an interesting approach to learning and provides great knowledge. It is also a great tool in diverting kids attention to a better productive activity.
Its great to see how much enthusiasm he has. Hes already helped so many people. I hope it keeps growing. I havent heard of this before. But will definitely use this with my girls.
Wow...thanks for this...I had my paper presentation on flipping classrooms..n showd this video n u wont believe all student teacher educators stood applauding..
Mastering concepts at the student's own pace is a great method, I'm glad it is catching on in public school. Being homeschooled this was a normal part of my upbringing; I was able to advance rapidly in areas I had strengths in without being held back, and when a subject was challenging I took extra time if needed. Thus, each subject was in a different grade level. We did this all with text books and paper records, but I can see computers making the task of tracking the progress of a classroom much more efficient and feasible.
I was trying to learn on micro economics in the internet and stumbled upon this great website and became an instant fan of this website. Initially i was skeptic but as i learnt more and more about Khan, my respect from grew like wise. Hats off to Mr. Khan. I'll always use this website and recommend it to others.
11:58 "Innovation never comes from the establish institution, its always a graduate student they are crazy person and somebody with a great vision" there is the thing....
Sal literally has one of those badass names that can go down in history "Sal Khan". Like Einstein, Tesla, Newton, Genis Khan...it just has a ring to it "Sal Khan" ^.^
You are such an inspiration, for teachers and almost every field of life. Having lots of respect for you for your great efforts towards education. Allah bless you. And bless us all.
I believe he could train teachers to teach as he teaches, make them understand how he gets to those solutions. This way all the teaching wouldn't be based only on his teachings. But based.
Sal Khan literally predicted todays online education system so many year ago, something which most people would have considered it to be a joke back in those days.
I wish to say a huge thank you to Khan academy of medical science for your help to give me this opportunity to study thanks and again thanks, i like Khan academy more than i can say
High school junior here. Used Khan Academy for AP calculus, AP Chemistry, and APUSH last year as a sophomore and I got 5 on all the AP tests and an A in each class. This website is superb.
I'm a math teacher in Spain that has just discover KhanAcademy. I think it seems awesome! I've started to use it with my 16 year old students. Let's see what it happens. English could be a struggling point but l don't have time to subtitule them into catalan or spanish.
