Education system Transformed- KHAN ACADEMY

Salman Khan, who has 3 degrees from MIT and an MBA from Harvard, developed the website. He originally posted lessons on You Tube for his young cousin and others soon found the lessons to be effective.That is an extremely powerful idea, and it wasn’t available or possible a few years ago. So- Salman Khan began making his videos for his cousins, putting them on YouTube, and we all started to take notice.

KHAN'S VISION

Salman Khan has employed a very successful philanthropic business model, which caters education to anybody with an online access.He asks teachers to consider changing the traditional classroom by allowing students to watch video lectures at home and complete "homework" in the classroom.

Learning

A strength of content-based videos, not just from Khan Academy, is that people can view them during their own time frame, reviewing parts that are of particular interest or to develop greater understanding.The method of instruction emphasizes procedures — how to do math — but ignores the conceptual understanding that’s central to authentic learning: what math means. At its core, this is a function of ineffective instruction, which to a large degree is related to ineffective content.

But one glaring hole has yet to be undertaken: context. Khan Academy is a symptom of a teaching profession where too many teachers are too shy or too old-school to jump into the publishing world. We need that to happen faster. Context is key. Ever wonder why so many of those math videos are boring? You’re missing the context by which they occur in.

The proper thinking that he brought to make students study is just an idea to proceed but what he actually done is far more complex than we can imagine. He has got all the information about each and every student that is taking his online classes i.e where he is lagging ,require improvements.He managed his resources in such a way, to provide every student a review of his progress towards each and every chapter or training he take.

There is proper step wise procedure for a student to go on to a higher level that brings proper understanding and conceptual base. One teacher can't concentrate on each and every student but he made this possible.Progress of each chapter,progress of each topic is in front of us,we can work upon loop holes.This is a proper management,how to use proper resources to get to a result that say 'WOWWWW' ........

Khan Academy is part of a looming tech-education iceberg. For excellent learning to take place takes passion on the part of the student. Screens encourage passivity; it's already been documented in laboratory studies. Small classes with good teachers teaching what they're knowledgeable about - that's the ideal learning environment.

There are many who support Khan Academy for its technological ingenuity and its ability to introduce different educational dynamics. The Khan Academy's ability to freely distribute lessons has demonstrated technology's ability to eliminate economic barriers that prevent effective education. Since Benjamin Bloom's 1984 study on the effectiveness of "one-on-one tutoring," close student-teacher interaction has been aggressively sought after. However, both the cost and the realistic implementation of this ideal has been an issue. Critics promote that the Khan Academy has addressed these issues, through both cost-free nature of the site and its wide accessibility via the internet.
