TEDxSanJoseCA - Salman Khan - (Sequel to talk at TED)

[pdadhwal]

Khan rocks

[slipkorn6]

wow you were in my city in may and i had no idea?!?! wow i missed out =_=

[gravecactus]

If I ever have kids, they will learn by Khan Academy. Heck, I intend to review as much material as possible for my own needs. I have the same "swiss cheese education" problem Sal mentions.

[lukekastelic]

So much respect! All my life I've wished for something like this, this is unbelievable. Much love Mr. Khan!

[Flash2k2k]

Go Mr.Khan!

[DELPHIIII]

As much attention as this is starting to get, Its still not nearly enough.

Theres been an inferno waiting to erupt in the alternative education field for decades now, and i believe this program is the spark that just lit it. Were talking not just about helping with math here.. but the potential for a global education initiative covering every conceivable subject, physics, architecture, biology, language, etc, available to everyone on earth, for free. This is the stuff that can change the world.

[786mansoor786]

he hasnt made a video yet explaining why he stutters

[Horinius]

Come on! Can't you put the link to "TED talk" instead of just writing "TED talk should be watched before this one"? I've done a search on "TED talk" and a lot of results found! No idea which one is the "prequel" of this video!

[RMT87]

@Horinius this reply is 3 months late, but just in case you hadn't found it yet, search: Salman Khan talk at TED 2011. click first result

[Horinius]

@RMT87

Hi

No, I still haven't found it yet and I have simply given up.

Thank you :)

[carlosaguilera12]

@Horinius you could just go to khanacademy . org and it will be in the second column under interviews

[Horinius]

@carlosaguilera12

OK, thanks

[rheechashaipu]

i hope Google and Microsoft bring you additional funds to spread the Khan Academy resources to the rest of the world. :D

[NewWorldOrderRED]

It's truely amazing how much of an effect a good teacher can have. I mean everyone of his videos is filled with people thanking him. It's a rare sight to go onto a youtube video where people are so thankful and couteous.

[walkintosh]

Salman Khan is a good Muslim.

[66CrtS]

"If this does not blow your mind, Then you have no emotion" Priceless!!

[MarkJ55]

My son was labeled "special needs" and while in traditional school ended up in a Title One math class in the fourth grade, continuing into the fifth.

Started homeschooling using the same texts and workbooks that would have been grade appropriate - the results were the same, he could not grasp the concepts.

Since, we have switched entirely to the Khan Academy - James now is doing algebra at an 8th grade level and best yet is he looks forward to his daily lessons.

Much thanks to Sal.

[Lottechoco]

@MarkJ55 and your example demonstrates that one-size-fits-all system of tradition school is the wrong system for teaching.

[majoodah]

I WANT TO GO TO JUGGLING SCHOOL!

[ladicius]

nothing but respect for this man.

[funduhmentals1st]

If we connected the dots; the info from CR show on the brain's development + synapses + fluency development age + Salman's we have the solution the. Why are parents choosing to waste the summer time development? It really only taking minutes a day. This should be our first solution to address. I you search web their is plenty of support for "fluency", & "math foundation".

[Nejitheultimate]

I cannot stress enough how awesome this guy is and how awesome Khanacademy is.

[vanhalenmk]

anybody know which video is euler's identity at 1:14?

[ladicius]

@vanhalenmk it's something to do with polynomials...i've watched the series of 3 or 4...it's incredible. find it.

[vanhalenmk]

@ladicius yeah thanks for the reply, i've found the videos :)

[ladicius]

@vanhalenmk Polynomial approximation of functions (part 1)

[NWforager]

@vanhalenmk you'll have to dig ,but i think i saw that in the biology playlist

[vanhalenmk]

@NWforager Thanks for the reply I found it, it's in the polynomial approximations of functions, parts 6 and 7

[xRectify]

Sal Khan: The only man in California with the ability to give a virtual high using nothing but his voice and a magic color-changing pen. Rampant distribution in schools, night-long usage sessions, and worldwide acclaim for product- accomplished using only his closet. Truly the most badass dealer who has ever lived.

[Waranle]

Happy for you Sal :)

[Squiglypig]

Isaac Asimov would be proud of Salman Khan.

KHAAAAAN!

[MarjoriOllson]

I nominate Sal Khan for a NOBEL PRIZE!

[MuslimBrother786]

i really want to know what is his secret to so much productivity?!!!

[BJrok]

One of my guilty pleasures...visiting the Khan academy. Downloading movies or music doesn't really get on my conscience that much but getting a free but high quality education from an MIT, Harvard graduate..now that's sth else. In result, I pay more attention than I usually do during his teachings..being thankful, so to speak, if that makes any sense. Hope he recruits some language wizards in the near future to help me with my English, French, Chinese...etc. How can you not like this guy!! ^^

[TheKFUPM]

جميل جدا 

[nobutada1222]

we definitely need more people like him so people can understand more about what they need to. no need for tutors. haha

[DrQuijano]

Solid talk.

[gearz077]

his stuttering and stuff for some reason make it more humanising and easier to learn wat he's teaching

[tahitiantraveler1]

Dude your Biology videos got me an A in my Biology class! you rock dude

[Bouncertt]

I don't think even Einstein could explain why someone would dislike this video/person!!

[2ndHAC]

The one person who disliked this was....

wrong.

[bhank21]

@2ndHAC bahh..trolls

[Swetlana0]

@2ndHAC The person who disliked this was stuck in his closet :>

[Flamingames]

Sal is aweeeessoooooommmmeee

[56jmoney]

This should be in place across the country. Video lessons at home, reduced homework, and more interaction, instead of instruction, at school. Interaction between teacher/students and students/students - on concepts; rote repetition of problems does not teach as much as understanding the concepts of what the problems are all about. Especially if you give students the opportunity to teach others; teaching is such powerful tool for learning and integrating concepts.

[miniimufin]

OH MY GOD!!! its him, its freakin KHAN!!!! wow hahah nice to put a face to the voice thats taught me half the things i know about bio,chem,calc, stats,...need i say more...i think not!

[spirituelconnexion]

I can't believe that any balanced human spends his intellectual energy on trying to put down this noble work.

Sal, It's not just the concept of videos that makes it work. It's you, your high understanding of what you are doing. And your ability to express to us the very philosophy behind every matter.

Thank you. May God bless you man ;)

[xUltimaProductionsx]

I love him. If everyone in the world was like Sal it would be an incredible place.

[floopsie666]

Differential geometry!

[theNewCodingFrontier]

The ending was amazing thank you so much for doing what you're doing



[jacobu321]

No...I think it's sixth grade. ;)

[fritstoofvlees]

can you make video's about crystallography?

[danielajbq]

Salman is my hero. 

[DarrenM813]

my lectures tell us to us it

[Yakushii]

Thumbs up for Nobel Prize.

Hard to find people as inspiring as Sal these days.

[slipperyjack007]

its 1:18 AM where i am right now and i cried at the ending

[YawningBoy]

he inspires me to do well in school

[electrofind]

Sal for president........ of the world

[t3po7re54]

Awesome analogy

[babotSOmom]

Love u Sal and my kids do, too! THANK YOU!

[capslockbandit]

When I first saw Khan Academy many years ago I knew instantly it would be a huge success. If you wanted to learn these topics from a university it would take many decades and potentially cost millions. Thanks Sal, I will be donating to your organization in the future. Now if only we could close a few of the ridiculously expensive and notoriously ineffective brick and mortar schools, and use those resources for better things. Sal promotes integration, but many do not need a physical school.

[copperlight]

Can't find part one of this video.  There are so many. What is the EXACT name of part 1?

[Rook1515]

@copperlight He meant the first TED talk he gave was "part 1" and this talk is just a continuation of that talk.

[JohnBorgy]

@copperlight Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education youtube.com/watch?v=nTFEUsudhf­s&feature=related It was in my sidebar so I don't know what your problem is. but here you go.

[yiye07]

@copperlight This one: v=nTFEUsudhfs

[corianderthal]

I'll never get tired watching these videos. This man is into something phenomenal. Keep it up!

[Swetlana0]

This talk was so refreshing!!

[FaerieDust]

My god... I've watched and studied so much with the Khan Academy videos that I literally feel an (alarmingly strong) urge to get my pen and writing block to take notes right now, watching this TED talk O.O I've conditioned myself to associate Sal's voice with studying XP I'm glad, though... Don't think I'm the only one :P

[etzel33]

150 new views in the time it took to watch the episode :) GO SAL!!!

[zeffii]

that natural high is very true Sal! Kids with internet connections these days can learn so much, if they manage to wade around all the crap trying to distract.

[Khanacademyr0cks]

Khanacademy rocks.....!! 

[Lojikish]

I wonder how long students tend to retain the information learned through Khan's method

[tvc221]

@Lojikish i used his videos for studing for an AP biology test. i feel i learned more from him than class

[Ichvyenichalster]

@Lojikish A teacher talks too much, books show pictures and text too much, he has the perfect balance of both. Although book learning works for me, and many people have different learning styles, his style of teaching is excellent. Once you've watched the video, you go to the exercises, and you are considered proficient once you've have gotten 10 right answers in a row. Stuck on an answer and you can show the steps, or return to the video without deduction.

[BlackBeardDelight187]

Imagine a world where Khans videos had +500 million views and justin bieber had 249? This man is solid as bricks. I wish I can have the honor to shake his hand.

[CuriousSmiles]

Proud to see a Muslim be so successful!

[kisamethesamehada]

This is the future of education

[1Mperios]

He's brilliant, if all knowledge would be in video then everyone would be able to educate himself as much as possible and at the right pace. Spread knowledge and love!

[biozamadotcom]

If he does not become Time's person of the year, or something similar, it's a crime against humanity.

[biozamadotcom]

His voice is incredible. He has a golden voice.

[netstorm2k7]

@biozamadotcom It is indeed a personable voice. I wouldn't call it golden, though.

[abcgirlz]

you are a very good public speaker! :)

[etzel33]

Brilliant analogy re: juggling. I've been following this guy for years. Great work.

[rinwhr]

This is the future.

[AnacondaMiningCo]

YOU ARE A PIONEER :)

[biozamadotcom]

He gets to answer one of the highest callings.

I like how all of his work is strictly on point with numbers, equations and problems.

There's no activism, it's just material focused.

That's why he's my very favorite.

[Crissix100]

I think it's even more remarkable and courageous of Sal to do talks like these because he has a stutter. I've stuttered all my life and people who don't simply can not fathom how difficult speaking can be and how much conscious effort the simplest offhand comment can require. Non-stutterers take the ability to speak for granted. Kudos, Sal, you're an inspiration.

[robotsbite]

Such a great system for learning.

[gustengusten]

This guy with Sir Ken Robinson and others leading something that I hope is going to be a learning revolution.

Twenty years from today is going to be exciting to see how things have changed, if at all.

[my89tube]

Ooooh 5:50 was an unfortunate choice of words lol

But sal ur awesome man!!! Thank you for doing what you doing.

[sadamnixamani]

Sal Do more in physics plz... Capacitors in series parallel, gauss's law etc...
