Salman Khan: Let’s use video to reinvent education [TED Talks]

Last August I reviewed Salman Khans Khan Academy. This incredible online video resource has many hundreds of free videos from the simplest math basics through the most complicated calculus and trigonometry, biology, organic chemistry, physics and more. Key features of the site include:

  • Videos with informal, but powerful, explanations that take you step-by-step through each topic you can stop or rewind them as needed, creating your own self-paced instruction.
  • An enthusiastic group of contributors that keep the list of exercises and videos continually growing.

In this thought-provoking TED Talk, Khan shows samples of his Academys videos, cites research studies underway using these videos to transform the classroom experience, and challenges us to think about how we might all use free video to reinvent education.
