"An online library of free videos for learners everywhere - our goal is to gather a set of resources to help you learn just about anything, meet people who make a difference in their communities, and even discover new parts of the world. Next Vista for Learning wants to post your educational videos online, too. Everyone has an insight to share and yours may be just what some student or teacher somewhere needs!"
This wiki was created to be a resource for teachers, students, and parents to utilize in order to reinforce topics discussed in the classroom. This site is updated weekly as I obtain new information and resources. You will find many websites all separated by subject area.
Learn and enjoy!
