Sal Khan on Giving Educators Credit for School Success
Khan Academy Blog

EDITOR BRIEF
Sal Khan says schools that use technology well succeed because of teachers and administrators, not technology alone. He warns that overcrediting tech creates unrealistic expectations and can lead to disappointment. The goal, he says, is to use technology to support personalized learning and more human interaction in class.
