Salman Khan talks about how and why he created
the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully
structured series of educational videos offering
complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects.
He shows the power of interactive exercises and calls
for teachers to consider flipping the traditional
classroom script -- give students video lectures to
watch at home and do "homework" in the classroom
with the teacher available to help.
