Breakout – The Khan Academy Approach to Learning
Listen now
Description
In this episode of the Breakout with Newt Gingrich podcast, Newt discusses how the Khan Academy is fundamentally changing the way in which people learn. By allowing people to watch and replay video tutorials that teach math, history, finance, and many other subjects, users are able to learn at their own pace and don’t have to worry about feeling embarrassed about replaying a video multiple times if needed. The best part about Khan Academy is that it’s totally free. This new model has already had a dramatic effect on the way that children and adults around the world are learning and provides a glimpse into what a 21st century education system may look like if the concepts of the Khan Academy are adopted.
