Khan Academy blew my mind when I heard the TED talk on it, no doubt this and software like it has a massive part in the future of education. More recently I started learning a different language (the human kind) and it drove home even further how much more useful software can be to pickup problems with my understanding. Let's assume you have an A+ class teacher the best of the best. They still have limited time with an entire class of students. It's simply not possible to diagnose and fix the little or big parts individuals are missing. An awesome teacher with infinite time could, but that is not a possibility, it just doesn't scale. About the article, haters going to hate, sounds jealous to me. Ok point about still teaching using abstract examples, but hell that's a simple fix, throw in some real life ones. How does he use "millions of students across the world have used it" in his opening paragraph and then go on to try and say it's doing it wrong lol.
