Khan Academy

I'll be brief tonight. Stephen had one of his most interesting guests on tonight - Salman Khan (not the actor, but the educator). Khan started out doing short tutoring videos on YouTube to help out his cousins and that grew into the Khan Academy. He has had over 57 million views. And the best part, it's all free and it's online right now. Stop reading this blog and go look at Khan Academy.

Khan admitted that while he is quite comfortable with lots of the math concepts, he did read up a bit about the French Revolution at Wikipedia. But he also read the footnotes, so he has good information. At this point, Stephen commented that he was responsible for some of the stuff over at Wikipedia.

So in a weird twist of events, Stephen perhaps has added to the vast knowledge of Salman Khan.
