Meet Khanmigo: The student tutor AI being tested in school districts | 60 Minutes

Khan is one of the most influential persons in the school education in last 20 years!

Glad to hear its free for all teachers. Those are who need it first and the most

I find the best thing about AI is how it makes you think in a structured way

I had a Casio watch in the 4th grade with a calculator.👀🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂🤣

I’ve noticed AI only gives you good if information if you ask the right questions

What I have appreciated about computer tutors to teach students who may be a little slow, is that the computer NEVER loses patience, never sighs and says, "Do it again . . " etc. Students are never embarassed.

This is the beginning of a revolution that will change the world. I feel like I'm watching the first railroad train 200 years ago. In a few years every kid will have the kind of private tutor that only the rich can afford now.

I like how it is very targeted to the student's individual capabilities. There is no way a teacher can do that with 30 kids in the room. But I do believe that teachers will still be needed to facilitate the learning process.

It's fascinating to see how the narrative surrounding Sal Khan has evolved over time. For years, the story was that he started as a humble YouTuber, creating educational videos to help his cousins with their studies. This grassroots origin story resonated deeply with people, embodying a relatable, selfless mission to make learning accessible. However, as Khan Academy grew and attracted major support, including grants from figures like Bill Gates, the focus of his introduction shifted. Now, much of the emphasis is on his prestigious academic background from MIT, lending additional credibility to his expertise. While both narratives are true, the change highlights how stories can be reframed to suit evolving audiences and objectives, but there's something truly remarkable about remembering the humble beginnings that made the whole journey possible.

I’m in uni now and still find myself going back to khan academy not because my teacher cant teach me but because i am a student among 300 others they dont have time to teach every single one and i cant afford a tutor so stuff like this is fantastic
