Khan Academy

I saw an interesting feature last night on NBC News about a young man who has developed an educational site that can be accessed for free. It's called Khan Academy. The clip they showed last night had students in classrooms accessing this site and using it to practice math. I haven't had the time to actually visit the website yet but did want to pass this along.

  1. This is a great site for math & science. I think he is even being backed by Bill Gates now. I think what makes it so appealing is that the videos are short, discuss one specific concept and use visual examples.

  2. So have you actually used this site? From what I understand he started out helping a cousin study.
