Reading is changing. Sometimes it's hard for people to imagine how, this article takes a historic look at how reading has changed and begins to imagine where we are going. Very exciting. Much food for thought

REally well done--what I like about this blog is that the recommendations are short videos. I watched them all and I LOVE The Educational Change Challenge and the Kevin Honeycutt video.

Very interesting article. I am always wondering what the future will bring. What I love about Khan's approach is that he teachers in ten minute increments. I SOOOOOO believe in less is more.

I think this is a cool idea-- especially if students want to learn about something but don't want to take a course. I loved philosophy and would learn more if I could but could not add on a third major. For me, I would love to learn about it on my own. My concern is that he is teaching the wrong content. It would be important to follow up to clarify any mistakes by either editing the same video or providing an additional video.

I know what you're saying about correct content, but as someone interested in philosophy, i ask, What is correct? I know he does a lot of math/science stuff, I guess that is a bit more black and white but when you are presenting theory, so much is left to the interpretation of the instructor. As I meet and talk to more and more fresh graduates of education programs, I am left asking myself the same questions that the critics are posing of this guy--what is the quality and correctness of content they are receiving? Some are very blessed to receive thorough, up-to-date information. Others, not so much. I guess when it comes to teaching and learning, it's a lot like gathering information on the web--you have to know the quality of the source.

Delayed response, but -- as for content, I mean getting a specific philosopher's ideas straight-- if the guy said that Rousseau wanted slavery, I'd just shut him off. That's what I meant by content. If he were to be presenting math/science as he is, he should just make it clear that he has a follow-up video to clarify any misinformed/unclear previous videos.
