Attached is a wonderful clip of presentation given by Salman Khan. Salman started making YouTube tutorial clips for his cousins interstate. Not only did his cousins benefit from the online video tutorials but so did thousands of others across the globe. He talks about how he quit his high paying job to develop online lessons that were easy to follow, interactive and humorous. Soon his Khan Academy programs became a hit with teachers, changing the way maths is taught in class and helping to make homework more enjoyable.
Whilst I am not a convert to the style of teaching he is advocating, I find his approach quite fascinating.
