Human interaction matters
It’s easy to misunderstand Khan Academy’s goal. I’ve seen many of their blog posts and videos, and believe Khan Academy wants to work with teachers to promote deep understanding.
But, some news coverage shows students working silently in front of computers in class, not watching at home to free up class time for personal discussions.
The teacher doesn’t appear to be involved or interacting, and that misuse of a learning tool is a nightmare for teachers who want a personal connection. Let’s have an online resource that directly contributes to offline interactions also.
