“There are things you can get in that physical experience you cannot get virtuall…” — Sal Khan

Just as computer science is missing from our school system, so is science fiction.

There is too much acceptance of people saying, 'I am a math person, or I am an artsy person.' It makes me cringe.

If a student has access to a great school, Khan Academy can supercharge it. It should help a well-resourced school, and if you don't have that, then Khan Academy can have even a bigger impact. But I don't see it as replacing the actual schools... we want to empower teachers and fill in the gaps.

Teachers can use technology-based assessments to inform their instruction. These assessments can quickly produce data and surface patterns that help teachers identify where students are faltering and intervene with targeted coaching immediately, before the student falls too far behind.
