It has been a few hours since I found Khan Academy and I am still shocked and awed by its complete awesomeness. This site is the very reason why schools should keep YouTube open to its teachers and students. Khan Academy contains over 1800 video lessons on the topics of Math, Science, Humanities, and Interviews. What makes these videos different, it that the instructor is not only showing how to say, solve a problem in physics, but he is also talking about what he is thinking. Basically, thinking out loud while visually displaying the problem and the thought process. This is just so absolutely cool. Not only can viewers watch and learn from these videos, but they can also download them or get the embed code to embed them into their own web page, blog, wiki, or Moodle course. But wait, there's more. There are also practice exercises for some of the lessons as well that viewers can do simply by logging in with their Google Account. I am so happy that I stumbled upon this site. It is like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Oh yeah, the another great thing about this is: IT'S FREE!!.
Below, I have embedded a video on slope. Take a moment to view it to see how cool these videos are.
