Sal Khan: The Era of Online Learning | SALT Talks #3

Sal Khan is the Founder of Khan Academy, a non-profit educational organization that provides free online classes by way of video, as well as supplementary educational tools. The good news: the digital divide at schools has greatly been reduced. The bad news: 70% of kids who, when they go to community college, have to be remediated in some way, usually at the middle school level. Learning should not be bound by time or space. In a potentially unpopular opinion, Sal believes summer break should be eliminated in favor of shorter, 2-3 week-long breaks throughout the year. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit salt.org/talks
