For his next trick, Khan Academy is partnering with the College Board to develop test prep for the revamped SAT that will launch in 2016. His online learning tool - which now has has 150 million users who have completed 1,912,559,000+ math problems in 200,000 classrooms across the globe - flips the classroom to give students the resources and tools to teach themselves at their own pace. The session kicks off with Salman Khan, whose Khan Academy has rocked the world since it launched in 2006 (he talked about its amazing rise at TED2011).
