Very good free educational resource

[rustyknife]

I'm sure most of you are already aware...but it's a site I definitely feel is a good thing to share. Salman Khan started a Non-profit organization and is going to teach the world everything he knows. I believe what he is doing is one of the greatest things I've seen man kind do in a long long time.

It's 100% free, and when my rotary table is making my brain hurt, I cruise over there and get a reminder, I've taking a lot of the banking classes and physics, and its all great. The tools to track your progress are amazing. To be quite honest, I started back at basic arithmetic and have learned neat tricks to subtract large numbers in my head, that I was never taught in school.

I'm only plugging it because I believe 100% in what this man is doing, and think he is going to change the world for the better. Check it out. I strongly suggest enrolling your children and tracking their progress as a mentor

Rusty: did not know about this site. Just as a sampling, I watched the basic trig. Basic functions explained wonderfully in about 5 minutes. worth watching.
Thanks
