A Free Education

[weesie]

Hi,

I just saw a story on 60 Minutes about this website and the guy who created it. I must say I am impressed.

His program was discovered by Bill Gates when trying to help his own children with school. He is now a major
backer to the site through the Gates Foundation. It said Google is also a backer.

It is already being used in countries around the globe.

Their motto : Start Learning Now, Completely Free, Forever

I wish there was something like this back in the day when our kids were in school.

Anyway, here is the link:

Sounds interesting. If I get time later I'll sign up and be the guinea pig.

I just might check it out as well.

It has everything from addition to calculus, geometry, trigonometry.

Biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, health care and medicine.

Economics and finance and so much more.

Some of their partners are MIT and Stanford School of Medicine.

I signed up. I think this a great idea!

Free? This is something that I can do to train my brain.

It's also a good site, as you just start where you left off from a previous session, without having to log in or out.

Great find, weesie!
