Tracy SockaloskyGreat post and video calling Khan academy out for some of its content, and reminder to all teachers to preview all videos before assigning them to students to watch them.

Todd Suomela"I think MTT2K, the Mystery Science Theater 3000-style video campaign satirizing Khan Academy, is one of the most interesting developments in education technology so far this year. Many educators have tried voicing their concerns about Khan Academy for several years now, but these have been largely ignored or dismissed by the media, politicians, and the YouTube-viewing public who continue to gush – often quite uncritically – over Khan Academy’s collection of free educational videos."
education online video lecture satire pedagogy controversy trolling

And Sal Khan himself told The Chronicle of Higher Education that he thought the criticisms were “a bit arrogant and disparaging.”
That comment in particuar is incredibly revealing because it demonstrates that this isn’t just a matter of highlighting pedagogical problems in the Khan Academy videos or with their usage in the classroom. This is about power: “arrogance” connotes superiority and power; “disparagement” seeks to displace or depreciate power. Who has the authority to speak about or dismiss pedagogy? Who gets to speak about math and science? These aren't simply matters of education or expertise but rather of political power as it’s wielded within our current education reform narrative. And that is a narrative that’s painted Khan as a revolutionary hero, while painting teachers as reactionary villains.
