The Khan Academy is a website that everyone should visit at least once.
Khan Academy is a non profit educational website created in 2006 by Salman Khan, a graduate of MIT and Harvard Business School. In 2010, Khan Academy received significant grants from Google (2 million) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1.5 million) and has really expanded upon their site, showing vast improvements in the last year alone.
While I don't personally think online education can replace classroom learning, Khan Academy certainly enhances traditional classroom learning and allows students to keep learning outside the classroom. What I love about this video-based learning site is that the learner can go at his or her own pace, re-watch videos or pause them to think through an idea. Khan Academy also keeps the actual videos frills-free and the material approachable. If you are a student, parent, or just a life-long learner, I'm confident that Khan Academy has something to offer you.
