This guy Salman Khan has produced numerous masterful teaching videos from the most basic to advanced academy subjects. He speaks with a smile, humour and easy intuitive perspectives. Excellent for homeschooling, adult learning and as the TED video explains; a reform on regular school teaching/learning.
Personally I've been bogged down with lousy teachers as probably most people have, that only know to explain from a very rigid perspective, I thought that they were missing an ability to relate to their students specific understanding. After learning from this guy on a youtube platform I see that the main missing element is a relay through simple external consideration of not trying to mix or overshoot the level in focus. One is not intimidated by the teachers attitude as he is having fun conveying and being with his material. It seems he builds from a simple approach, much like the way Laura and this group does it, with the (paraphrased) thought that "if you cannot explain it like you would to a 5 year old, you neither understand nor can teach it."

Hubby stumbled across this site a while ago, and we've been sending the link on to the folks we know that teach High School. My sister is a High School Science teacher, and she loves it too. :flowers:
FWIW, I learned more going through that site than I ever did in a regular class.

I just viewed one of the algebra videos. Really brings back memories. I could have used this back in school. :/ Thanks much for the link! :)

Me too :) , IMO it's amazing how this angle of simple elegance garnered with philosophic mirth will set stuff straight that brokenly got steamrolled into you.

Pleasure. Yeah, it could have brought 'learning is fun' in at a much earlier stage. It's still very good for adults wanting to fill in the gaps. I'm using the algebra series for getting up to date for a programming course, and chemistry series in preparation for recommended alchemical litterature.

Yeah, thanks for this. There are so many videos there! I watched an algebra one too. I wasn't good at Algebra in school and I remember the C's saying it was important to know it.
