The Online Learning Revolution

Salman Khan with Google's backing is changing the way that kids learn math, biology, chemistry ... In fact, some schools using his system have actually 'flipped' their schedules—lectures are done at home and homework is done in schools where the teacher can help students out.

How about a 5th grader who asks the teacher how to use the chain rule in Calculus with the teacher replying that it's been a long-time, but they could sit down & figure it out together?

Individualised progress reports, &c &c ... ;-)
