Khan Academy

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit educational organization created in 2006, by Salman Khan. With the stated mission of "providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere", the website supplies a free online collection of over 2,200 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and economics.

Speaking as an American living with many struggling and failing public schools, I am eager to share this site with you. I just discovered the site a few months ago, and have already set up for my daughter. I am even using the site myself to strengthen my own math skills! I am excited, and thrilled when I see my daughter improved her math skill after a week of practiced.Here's the link Khan Academy

Borders Closing Down

Border closing down! I'm going to miss this store terribly, nice place to spend hours on week end,sipping coffee and browsing magazine .
Online booksellers may be cheaper, but they can't replace the bookstore experience. The joy of walking into Borders and browsing the shelve or reading quietly near the cafe made me so happy. I will miss Borders very ,very much!
