When teachers get access to new technologies, they use them to extend existing systems. Where there is beneficial and innovative new practice with education technology, it will disproportionately benefit the affluent.

More recently, we’re seeing that if students put 30 minutes to an hour per week—or one class period per week—toward software-based, self-paced learning, schools will see a 20 to 30 percent greater-than-expected gain on state assessments. That’s exciting because that’s a dosage that’s very doable in mainstream classrooms. We tell schools to give students 30 to 60 minutes of Khan Academy per week, with teachers doing traditional curriculum four days per week. You’re going to see a pretty dramatic improvement. You’ll get the best of both worlds.

Now that I run a school, I see that some of the stuff is not as easy to accomplish compared to how it sounds theoretically.

It’s taken me and the Khan Academy longer to realize this, but not everyone can easily move to a mastery-based, self-paced learning

environment. That’s hard to do overnight. We

have a bunch of efficacy studies for that type

f model, and they’re really robust, but change

is hard. https://districtadministration.com/sal-khan-envisions-a-future-

Learning technologies are not all purpose; they are like distinct pegs in a vast landscape of differently- shaped holes Learning technologies are not a switch that you can flip on. They are only as effectives as the learning supports provided to the communities that use them.
