The idea behind the Khan Academy is to have students do the learning outside of the classroom and then advance their understanding the next day in class.  You can follow in Salman Khan's utopian thinking or you can have students watch the videos as a review or a preview to a lesson.  Check out his Ted Talk to learn more about his thought process.
