![]() The nonprofit Khan Academy offers online educational videos and other tools to more than 26 million registered students in 190 countries. Under his model, students would work at their own pace hands-on learning and interactive projects would be the norm and teachers would serve as mentors and guides. He wants to restore excitement and active participation in learning. In his book, The One World School House (Grand Central Publishing, 2012), Khan calls for a fundamental change from the often-dreary classroom experience of lectures and rote memorization. Today’s technology provides the tools to make education more portable, flexible and personal-and far more accessible. He wants to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Salman Khan, founder of the Khan Academy, is a man with an ambitious mission. “As our the people in it more inextricably connected, the world itself comes to resemble one vast, inclusive schoolhouse.”
