As I watched Salman Kahn speak about humanizing the classroom through technology, I was inspired. I love the idea that students can go their speed and review the material as they please with his system. His views on mastering skills and filling in the "swiss cheese" gaps in the foundations of information are innovative and I agree whole-heartedly. I like the way he advocates repetition. And he is for repetition not just for the sake of repetition. I feel that Kahn realizes that you have to learn things in school just as you learn to do any other skill such as riding a bike. This is the future of technology and its place in the education system. Everyone should view Salman Kahn talking about the future of education.
