This is TED video by Salman Khan, In this video he talking about how video play a role in Education system. Actually students learn from video rather than the traditional classes. When teachers comes for the lectures students getting board, But nowadays teachers comes with the digital material (video) in the classroom so, students didn't get bored.With that students enjoy their learning interestingly. 

Through the video students get harder things to easily. video gives us so many options to learn subject. With the different kinds of videos we can understand easily about the subject. Internet gives us more facilities to show videos, like you tube, we can search for anything and it will give us so many videos about maths,literature , science, and so many things. We can also save the video and also watch later so with that we can save our time and whenever we  want to learn we do. So, it is all dependent on self learning video is very important for the home-schoolers with that they can spend more time with the teachers.

In traditional  education system teachers only busy with their classes and academic work so they can't give us more time to educate. But internet give us one feature named flipped learning. It is also a video learning system. Which is very important for the self learning. Students can pause video when at that time they learning about the things. so, with that teachers give their time to students anywhere and anytime.

Today's busy life surrounded around the digital tools like computers, T.V, smart phones, video games, laptops, projectors etc...People  do not interested into reading but interesting in playing with digital tools.

Those who was not born into digital world but later on for their fascinated life they adopted many aspects from new technology so, they compared to them with digital immigrants. They take more time to learn. New technology rather than digital natives. In the future time digital natives do not take more time to learn things based on digital. So, it is simple for them.
