Find out more about lynda.com's approach to education at http://www.lynda.com/tutorial/61213?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=viral&a...
lynda.com is the proud season sponsor of UCSB's Arts & Lectures series, and we were privileged to have one of their lecturers, Salman Khan of Khan Academy, deliver a private lecture at our facility before his public appearance through their program.
Mr. Khan has gained worldwide recognition as a pioneer in video-based education, revolutionizing the way math and a growing range of new subjects are being taught to a world wide audience. He started recording Youtube videos for his cousins to teach them math, and eventually left his career as a successful analyst at a hedge fund to start a non-profit platform for his videos to be delivered for free to the world.
Be sure to catch his TED talk.

His views on "SLOWER" are fantastic. Its so true, its not a negative thing, but people, jaded, tenured educators think in Old World terms.
Educators need to see this, its what we should be "occupying" ourselves with, re-writing education in a new tech-driven global society.

Lydia can you organize your videos similar to Khans channel? I want to learn from your channel but when there a 3k+ videos to scroll through it makes it very difficult!
