Development of Khan Academy
Khan's career has been recognized by more and more society. In 2009, "Khan Academy" was awarded the education award in "Microsoft Technology Award". He himself has therefore become the target of media pursuit. The material support that followed made this free website more active. On the one hand, due to the extremely high number of teaching videos, Khan can get about $2,000 (about 6.5438+0.3 million yuan) of advertising share from YouTube every month. On the other hand, many students will send him money spontaneously, ranging from dozens to 20 thousand. It is reported that Dole, a famous American venture capitalist, and his wife donated $654.38 million+to him. In 20 10, Khan Academy received two important donations: one was $5 million from Bill Gates' charity fund, and the other was $2 million sponsored by Google. Khan used the money to translate the existing videos into Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese and other languages 10, and hired some assistants.

The arrival of a large number of donations means that Khan has been affirmed. Bill Gates once said that Khan's success was "unbelievable": "My children and I often use Khan Academy. He is a pioneer. With the help of technology, he helps the public acquire knowledge and recognize their position, which is simply leading a revolution. "

Idaho legislated in 20 1 1 that two of the 47 credits for graduating from middle school must be online learning courses, and Khan Academy courses will be adopted in more than 20 public schools in 20 13 years.
