Brief summary: Los Altos school district, 5th and 8th grade classes using KA as the primary tool for math curriculum, being compared to other 5th and 8th grade classes in the same school district (those not using KA). Lots of freedom given to teachers to experiment w/ various KA use. Sal, Shantanu, Jason, and I have been regularly visiting classes to watch students and teachers use KA. Feedback has been invaluable.
Much more in various posts of mine (http://bjk5.com/post/2071068737/khan-academy-in-the-classroom-days-1-and-2 http://bjk5.com/post/2071068737/khan-academy-in-the-classroo...), and more importantly, you can read direct feedback from teachers and students on their Khan Academy blog: http://lasdandkhanacademy.edublogs.org/ http://lasdandkhanacademy.edublogs.org/
...obviously, many more observations will be published when the pilot is done.
