**TED TALK : Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education **
In 2004, Salman Khan, a hedge fund analyst, began posting math tutorials on YouTube. Six years later, he has posted more than 2.000 tutorials, which are viewed nearly 100,000 times around the world each day.

Why the teachers should listen to him?
Salman Khan is the founder and faculty of the Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org)-- a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing a free world-class education to anyone, anywhere. It now consists of self-paced software and, with over 1 million unique students per month, the most-used educational video repository on the Internet (over 30 million lessons delivered to-date). All 2000+ video tutorials, covering everything from basic addition to advanced calculus, physics, chemistry and biology, have been made by Salman. Prior to the Khan Academy, Salman was a senior analyst at a hedge fund and had also worked in technology and venture capital. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, an M.Eng and B.S. in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, and a B.S. in mathematics from MIT.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**The projects -**
====<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Salman Khan started posting videos on YouTube, and more and more people kept watching. It was clear there was a huge unmet need, so Sal left his hedge fund job and started Khan Academy with the mission of providing a free world-class education to anyone, anywhere. ====

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**The Results -**
<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Sal's results have been wildly successful, having delivered over 36 million video views, and established one of the world's largest 'classrooms'. We have only recently begun contributing, however our logo and several user interface refinement ideas have already been incorporated. We hope to continue helping him refine this.

Actual Case Study of KhanAcademy
When I take a look KhanAcademy, I think it is really helpul for students. I'm wondering that it is workable for the young children who are in trouble in their math class. When I start to study with 2nd grade children, I can figure it out how the program of KhanAcademy is workable for children even though they can easily be bored in their study When the student, who is in 2nd grade, visit the website, he can see all math tree in one screen by himself. And, he can search and move where he want to go in math tree in this website. When he solve math problems, and ask some questions for me, I figure it out that this student enjoy his math questions because he can solve the questions by his pace, and have second chance if he try to take a test again. In the traditinal class, many students can't have second chance to solve and understand in their study becasue students' daily subjects is scheduled what they learn in the semester. As a result, this 2nd grade student have a good motivation in his math class, and he want to try again this learning process.
