Reflection on Salman Khan's Flipped Classroom

Salman Khan began posting flipped classroom videos on math topics to help his cousins. After a short amount of time he started getting views beyond his family, and they were positively responding to his videos. Then he was receiving messages from teachers saying that they were using his videos to use a flipped classroom, which is assigning the videos to watch for homework and doing the actually exercises in the classroom this way students can interact with each other and the teacher can pin point what the students are not understanding.
I can say that I have watched these videos when I was taking AP chemistry and AP statistics in high school, and they helped me comprehend certain topics that I did not understand. More so I used them for chemistry because my teacher was not the best, and I had difficulties passing the exams. After seeing the videos I was able to better understand the subject. Also, I used them to refresh the material the teacher presented in class and that would be on an exam. Viewing this through my personal experience the videos are extremely useful for personal learning new material.
