History Lesson

A man named Salman Khan has started an amazing online school called the Khan Academy, which is completely free. He is a graduate of MIT, who started tutoring his cousins who lived in New Orleans via Youtube. He made videos to help them with math or science at first. This idea caught on with others online and teachers. Now, he has delivered 60 million+ lessons worldwide....totally free. The subject matter covers everything from Algebra, Biology, and Physics to History, Finance, and Currency. This is a revolutionary concept in education for many reasons, but I want to urge anyone who has the time to check out the future possibilities for education. Listen to what Salman Khan and Bill Gates have to say about his new school at this link below.

Here's his brief lesson on the Korean War.
