Tell HN: (kind of an idea)Khan academy multilingual
If there are any spanish speakers who regularly watch the Salman Khan, I had an idea.
If you were to set aside a few months and do a branch of the exact same tutorials mirroring Salman Khan
teaching style, and then submit the videos to the Khan Academy for inclusion, I bet good things would come of it.Of course it doesn't have to be all of them. Just a section like "algebra".
It can be any language but I live in California so Spanish came to mind :)
I just read the money he got from google is going toward this, but if you were to do it on your own it seems like it would be a good idea for a blog regardless
- FraaJad 16y agos/Kahn/Khan/g s/Salmon/Salman/g For a person trying to invest a lot of time emulating Sal Khan's ideas, I find it amusing that you don't get his name right on multiple occasions. Try again.
- gruseom 16y agoHey, it's one thing to point out how to spell a guy's name and quite another to be a jerk about it.
- wturner 16y agoActually I'm glad he pointed it out the way he did. I'll be less reckless from now on and take more time with my posts.
- wturner 16y agoI'm not emulating anything or investing time in emulating his idea. I just thought it would be a good idea for someone that wanted a simply project that would be useful to somebody.It seemed like it would be a good fit in terms of the full spectrum of utility and self interest. I apologize for the name misspell and I cleared it up for the readers, and to make you happy.
- xiaoma 16y agoI think a Chinese one would be especially nice to have, since youtube (and thus the Khan academy) are blocked here. Put it on Tudou or Youku.
- ig1 16y agoIf you see the FAQ on the site he mentions you can contact him if you're interested in doing translation. You can also volunteer for his web app which is open source so he can spend less time on the website and more time making videos: http://code.google.com/p/khanacademy/ http://code.google.com/p/khanacademy/
