Not only would it provide for deeper, more motivated learning, but a portfolio of meaningful projects is vastly more interesting for a prospective employer than a GPA on a transcript (we know because Khan Academy’s own hiring process cares a lot more about what someone has creatively produced than their GPA).
-
Students who are looking for jobs with new innovative companies better stop worrying about their GPA and start thinking much more seriously about what they produce.

-
This liberates the rest of class time for peer tutoring, higher level interactions between teachers and students, and truly creative projects.
-
Don't think that Khan, or any other tech tool can ever replace a teacher. It just changes their job.

They were quick to draw analogies to other areas of science.
