Ever hear of the Khan website?
 
his was on 60 Minutes the other night - looks interesting. I think my kiddos might respond to this. What do you guys think?

I think it's fantastic. Kudos to that dude.

Yes. My wife and son use it to do his homework. She watches some of the sessions just to learn new stuff. I plan to watch some of them someday when I have time to just sit around and learn new stuff for the sake of knowledge, like when I retire. But major kudos to that guy for putting it together.

I'm sure those folks living over in public housing (some of them 3rd generation) will be all over this, right?

"there is an app for that" and it is very good. We use it at home.

Looks like a good site to bone up on stuff before taking on the PPOT proletariat. You can always say, " I studied this in school."

I saw that too... and looked it up this morning and bookmarked the site.

Kiddos? Heck, this old dog isn't afraid to learn some new tricks!
