CA Public School District to Adopt Khan Academy Curriculum

The Los Altos School District, located in a suburb of SanFrancisco, has just secured a new grant which it plans to use to expand its Khan Academy pilot program to include 5th and 6th grade classrooms in all 7 elementary schools.

Khan Academy is a relatively new educational non-for-profit that is built on a novel theory. It swaps the usual in-class instruction time with the homework usually done outside of class. Rather than have  the students learn how to solve a math problem during class time, the Khan Academy believes that students should watch instructional videos on their own time.
