Watch the video and decide if the sentences are true or false.
Salman Khan on CNN
DS = Dan Simon SK = Salman Khan SS = Sara Shadid
DS: Sal Khan lives in California outside of San Francisco. Sara Shadid halfway around the globe in Dubai. Their lives are
interconnected but Khan doesn't know it. This is a story about how one man is helping to educate the world, but has never seen
any of his students, face to face.
DS: Where does this passion come from?
SK: You know I think I've always enjoyed teaching.
DS: It's about a man who gave up a lucrative career in Silicon Valley for what might look like a boring desk job.
SK: Right now I'm, I'm cash flow negative.
DS: But it was never about money, and with his drive and education Khan could've made millions. He was valedictorian of his
high school with a perfect math score on the SAT. Then came MIT, Bill Clinton handing him his diploma. Next Harvard business
school, he was lured into hedge funds and did well. But Khan, who has a wife and son to support, gave it up.
SK: A lot of people thought I was kinda crazy. Obviously, you know, when every waking hour you have you would sneak into a
room, make math videos and put them on YouTube. People kinda question, you know, what's up?
DS: Here's what's up. Khan's YouTube videos.
SK: Let's do a couple more examples and I think you might get it.
DS: They've been clicked on more than 9 million times from users around the world. The topics range from math to chemistry
to economics.
SS: From every curriculum you can use the videos. He's really helpful.
DS: One of his users 19-year-old college sophomore Sara Shadid in Dubai. She says the videos made all the difference in
helping her conquer calculus.
SS: Before each and every exam, I take two days checking all of his videos, and understanding the small details he explains.
DS: This gigantic virtual school originates from the smallest of places, from a tiny converted closet inside Sal's master bedroom.
This is where he is able to reach an estimated 80,000 knowledge-seeking users a month.
It all started a few years ago when a cousin wanted some online math tutoring. Pretty soon other relatives started asking for
similar help. Suddenly people he didn't know started watching. People must have put in math terms and suddenly they find you.
SK: Yeah, I think it's just completely, it's that small subset of people who go to YouTube and do a web search for "greatest
common divisor".
DS: People did it and it caught on. It's now called The Khan Academy. The videos are short and simply produced, only his voice.
SK: So that's your slope of....
DS: With a simple black background and graphics.
SK: There are a lot of people who need help with, with their math, science whatever and I think they find these YouTube videos
as kind of the ideal nuggets to fill in their gaps.
DS: These mini classes filled in Sarah Shadid's gaps who says she and her friends refer to Khan as the man with the coloured
fonts. Whatever you call him or his teachings the success of his site has validated that decision to walk away from hedge funds.
