Khan Academy Launches First State-Wide Pilot In Idaho

David Carr:

More than 10,000 students across Idaho will be getting Khan Academy videos for homework, as the tutorial website launches its first state-wide pilot aimed at integrating online education with the regular classroom experience.

Khan Academy is best known as a place where elementary, high school and college students go for help learning a concept they did not quite grasp when their instructor explained it. Particularly strong in mathematics and science, Khan Academy has been broadening its curriculum to encompass all subjects.

Khan's JavaScript-based tutorials on computer science were also cited in this week's Code.org marketing campaign arguing that all students should learn basic programming skills.
