Salmon Kahn graduated from MIT and worked in the field of hedge funds. He posted a geometry lesson on YouTube for his niece, in attempt to tutor her. Surprisingly, others viewed this video, liked his style, and requested video tutorials for other subjects; the result was the birth of Kahn Academy. Have you seen any tutorials on YouTube from Kahn Academy?

If you havent experienced Kahn Academy and had/have trouble with a subject in school or college do you think you will view one of the tutorials to see if they help you now?

If you knew someone who was struggling in a subject would you recommend Kahn Academy?

One of the ideas set forth by Kahn Academy is giving computers to kids so that they can teach themselves by watching these videos. Although there would be a teacher in the class their role would be to coach the students. Do you like this idea?

If the idea above, got popular, do you think it would hurt or improve education as we know it in the US/Canada?
