Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, the Khan Lab School and Author of The One World Schoolhouse, went to Google HQ during a National Teacher of the Year event to speak about the future of education. He told his inspiring story of how he founded the not-for-profit Khan Academy and how the organization is educating millions of people worldwide. Sal also shared his thoughts on what education reimagined could look like and how his dream of "providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere" could become a reality. It is a very fascinating talk. I highly recommend it.

Here is a quote I like very much from his book, The One World School House.

“There’s an old saying that life is school. If that’s true, then it’s also true that as our world grows smaller and the people in it more inextricably connected, the world itself comes to resemble one vast, inclusive schoolhouse. There are younger people and older people, people farther or less far along in their education on a given subject. At every moment, we are both students and teachers; we learn by studying, but we also learn by helping others, by sharing and explaining what we know”.
