Kahn Academy on YouTube (upside down thinking)
20100629 at 05:04 The Khan Academy YouTube channel and associated website has 17.5 million “upload” views to date
We’re a not-for-profit organization with the mission of giving access to knowledge to anyone, anywhere. The Khan Academy is a 501 (c)(3) with Tax ID# 26-1544963
I remember hearing Salman Khan describe his concept which I paraphrase roughly:
Lectures should be assigned as homework to be completed/viewed before “class”
The scarcity of in-person student and teacher “classroom” time should be reserved for student questions and individualized assistance from the teacher.
Another scarcity that is being donated for the “public good” is Khan’s time and talent. This chosen profession follows time Khan spent as a hedge-fund analyst, and grew out of his desire to teach and help tutor his cousins in math.
These videos are “meta-Khan”, about the channel and content found there.
