Re: [IAEP] Khan academy content
Instructional videos such as Khan Academy have a place, but we need to be aware of their limitations.

In related news you might also be interested to learn that per Miguel Brechner's tweet (http://twitter.com/#!/mbrechner/status/54588790618062848) Uruguay's Plan Ceibal is currently looking for volunteers to translate Khan Academy's videos to Spanish.
