Sal Khan on giving educators credit for tech-enabled school success
Khan Academy Blog

EDITOR BRIEF
Sal Khan says schools that use technology well succeed because of teachers, administrators, and other hard-to-copy conditions, not technology alone. He argues that overrating the tech can create unrealistic expectations and distract from what is needed to help more classrooms benefit. His goal is to use technology to let students learn at their own pace while freeing class time for human interaction.
INSIGHTS
