I heard about this site on National Public Radio on the way home today (12/28/2009). I do not know how well it will do in educating in the schools, but it looks good to this non-teacher.

This is one of the sites I told you about at "Let's Talk Technology." I think the site has a lot potential for use in schools.

However, students could use the Kahn Academy math videos as tutorials for concepts they didn't understand. Teachers could have substitutes show a video of how to do something that was outside of their comfort level or skillset and learning could continue. Do others have suggestions?
