Salman Khan- 100 Most Influential People + Forbes

So my friend Billa over on the other thread has been releasing a lot of carbon dioxide due to all that burning, so here is a thread specially dedicated to him and all the Sallu fans. 😆

Salman Khan has been named on TIME's 2012, 100 Most influential People in the World.

Or make that the planet's favorite uncle. Over the past two years Khan Academy videos have been viewed more than 200 million times. The site is used by 6 million unique students each month (about 45 million total over the last 12 months), who have collectively solved more than 750 million problems (about 2 million a day), and the material, which is provided at no cost, is (formally or informally) part of the curriculum in 20,000 classrooms around the world. Volunteers have translated Khan's videos into 24 different languages, including Urdu, Swahili and Chinese.

"Sal is the world's first superstar teacher," says Yuri Milner, the Russian physicist turned venture capitalist who was an early investor in Facebook, Twitter and Groupon."

Like a lot of great innovators, Salman Khan didn't set out to change the world. He was just trying to hep his teenage cousin with her algebra from across the country. But from a closet turned office in his Silicon Valley apartment, Sal, 35, has produced an amazing library of online lectures on math, science and a host of other subjects. In the process, he has turned the classroom ' and the world of education ' on its head.

The aspiration of khanacademy.org is to give every kid a chance at a free, world-class education. The site has over 3,000 short lessons that allow kids to learn at their own pace. Practice exercises send students back to the pertinent video when they're having trouble. And there's a detailed dashboard for teachers who use Khan Academy in their classrooms.

Early pilot programs in California classrooms show terrific promise. I've used Khan Academy with my kids, and I'm amazed at the breadth of Sal's subject expertise and his ability to make complicated topics understandable.

Sal Khan is a true education pioneer. He started by posting a math lesson, but his impact on education might truly be incalculable.

And unlike SRK, Salman is on the cover of the international edition of Forbes. 🥳

OMG Bill Gates actually wrote that about Sallu bhai! 😆
