"In previous posts, I have summed up my position on Khan Academy as follows: Khan Academy teaches only one part of mathematics-procedures-and that isn't the most important part. Writing about mathematics, developing a disposition for mathematical thinking, demonstrating a conceptual understanding of mathematical topics are all more important than procedures. That said, procedures are still important, and Khan Academy provides one venue where students can learn them. In the end, I think every young person should have an account there. Even if only one in a thousand or ten thousand benefit, that would be a terrific outcome. "

Some great points here about Sal Khan and Khan Academy!

See Khan Academy videos that relate to Common Core.

The real power lies in the practice problems. It allows to deep differentiation within a class.

Mathematics teachers disagreeing with the math teaching methods espoused by the Khan Academy, including words from a Stanford PhD candidate: ""When you attempt to distribute mathematics through any of these media [such as YouTube videos, digital photos, MP3s, PDFs, blog posts, spoken words, and printed text] it changes the definition of mathematics."

Series of videos by Khan Academy, a not-for-profit organization with the mission of giving access to knowledge to anyone, anywhere. Great opportunity for students to see lectures at their own pac.

A blog on introverts considers the methods of one-on-one learning in mathematics and other disciplines practiced at the Khan Academy, acknowledging the importance of balance between individual and group learning.
