  Kill some time watching Khan, you would have to work at it to avoid learning something.

   It is very strong on math, I like the way he breaks the difficult into digestable bits.

  One thing he is doing is awarding badges for watching and for taking tests.

   I like this idea , it is a positive reinforcement that costs him little , perhaps someday resumes will include the numkber and kind of Khan badges one has earned.

     I think that Debategate could award badges , one for six weeks without flaming, one for each origional composition over 300 words, one for twenty pithy comments , one for accepting an opponents logic gracefully.

     That last one might be seldom awarded.
