"How Khan Academy Is Changing the Rules of Education"

This article examines how Khan Academy has altered they way some look at education.

Much of what is discussed in this article alludes to improvements in education; providing students the ability to go at their own pace is an change that is now possible in education due to internet access. There are drawbacks and no perfect solution (as described in this article: constant drilling and a lack of creativity) and that is because no one site or way is the answer. Instead, teachers can utilize the vast array of resources provided by the internet and seek to create a better curriculum for their students - to help build and foster independent critical thinking skills one student at a time providing them an individualized plan to help each individual grow to the best of their ability.
