I am so happy we are discussing Salman Khan, the creator of Khan Academy, and the use video has on education. Well, education as we knew it 10 years ago is gone. I mean really, Khan Academy and other online videos, now allow us to educate ourselves on the areas we need support with without criticism or embarrassment. I think Sal Khan took his ideas and education and implemented them in the most amazing way...he is sharing his knowledge with all of us as we need it.
Sal Khan told us that his academy helps people learn by showing"100-200 videos a day"as a means of people educating themselves, at their own pace, on individualized topics. Wow, incredible! I am a real support of this site. My husband discovered the khan academy site a while ago and he uses it all the time. He loves the idea of going to the site and exploring topics he needs practice with on his own. We also love that the lectures are specific to one topic which keeps them short and sweet. It is amazing to be able to pause and rewind or re-watch if needed and then practice until the topic is mastered.
