Let’s use video to reinvent education

Salman Khan

I think this talk received the longest standing ovation that I’ve ever seen at a TED Talk!  At the end Bill Gates asks Sal a few questions and concludes with ‘Well it’s amazing, I think you’ve all just got a glimpse of the future of education’.  So if you want to watch something revolutionary, a true game changer, please click the link!

By the end of the talk you’ll know what ‘learning for mastery’ means, or ’10 in a row’, and ‘flipping the classroom’.  You’ll learn about how Sal Khan created the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects. You’ll also have access to a free resource that could be a game changer for your (or your kid’s) learning journey.

I love this talk because it shows how talented, inspired and insightful people can revolutionise a field, and create massive value!  How we can, and must, keep challenging the status quo, and how technology can be leveraged to have more connection time.
