Kim Yaris on 17 Jun 10Very 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.

Kim Yaris on 19 Jun 10I 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.

Rebecca Haggerty on 23 Jun 10Delayed 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.
