Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt said during a conference in Israel that the World Wide Web is underutilized among the world’s population. “The World Wide Web has yet to live up to its name,” he said. “Technology does not produce miracles, but connectivity, even in modest amounts, changes lives.” Schmidt meant this to apply to education in particular. He pointed out the potential the Internet has for education, citing The Khan Academy, a website that’s grown increasingly popular since its emergence in 2010. The Khan Academy is a website that contains a vast collection of over 3,000 instructional videos. These videos — generally about 10 minutes in length — provide simple tutorials primarily on math and science concepts, ranging from simple algebra to calculus, basic biology to organic chemistry.
