Khan Academy

Salman Khan was on the Colbert Report last night to talk about his education revolution the Khan Academy, where he is attempting to change the way we think about education and bring it to the entire world. His academy, summarized well on wikipedia, has over 2300 educational videos online. They are all about 10 minutes (or less).
Salman Khan was a hedge fund manager, and started tutoring his cousins over the internet via youtube. He eventually quit to found the non-profit the Khan academy, and is trying to improve education in our country and our world.
