Salman Khan TED Talks Khan Academy Online

Every educator owes it to him/herself, his/her students, and the future of education to watch this video. While Khan's approach is but one of myriad possible ways to improve Education (with a capital E), it potentially addresses several root manifestations of the fine fix we've worked ourselves into:

• The damage that homework does to family, child, and learning
• Lecture as primary mode of teaching
• "Classroom management"--Sit quietly in your seat and pay attention: Do not talk
• Standardized testing = principle assessment tool
• Missed steps in learning snowballing into failure
• The bad rap that making mistakes has been saddled with
• Games = the enemy
