Have any of you been to this website? You can learn anything and everything basically online, and the guy who makes them all explains it in laymen terms

www.khanacademy.org

wow. That website looks amazing. Thanks for posting it.

This is cool! Why have to pay big $$$$ to go to college? Thank you very much!! !

I am going to post bump for the sake of posterity. It is a great resource.

I've been using this site since last year to help me with math.

I credit this man for my good grades in math. He makes it simple to understand and apply. It cut my study time in half, and I use the rest of my time for recreational activities. I love him!

I love this man. Spent so much time on that website; it's a wonderful place.

Oh! Word to the wise (or hopelessly lost as the case may be) Another awesome math helper is patrickjmt on youtube. Oh man, I was pretty much in love with that man all through calculus I and II - and I revisited the fling during some of intro diff EQ. I prefer him to khan for calculus, for sure. very clear, very helpful.

I'm an astro student and i have used this site for my whole time in higher education as i find it totaly impossible to learn in the normal way due to AS issues.

I use it all the time! I credit most of my biology knowledge to Khan Academy, and sometimes it's just cool to watch a video and learn something.

Necro-ing to ask...

Does anyone here homeschool with KA? What's been your experience with it so far?

I used that site a lot last year for my calculus class. It worked out very well.

i use it too, that guy is very helpful. There is also a windows 8 app for it now too ^_^

I take online college courses (basically homeschool since i am teaching myself everything), and his videos are exteremly helpful for my algebra. I probably would not be able to pass without khan academy ^_^.

Trying to help the GF with college and I have heard college instructors tell me 'off the record' that the Khan Academy is not promoted because a lot of teachers would be seen as the dinosaurs they are lose their jobs if it became popular. I can see why: what an incredible resource and I learned in minutes what took hours in a classroom!

I like the math practice section the best, an RPG layout and instant feedback on all your answers. I still like learning the traditional way as long as the instructor is knowledgable, a good instructor can really set the pace and keep the class engaged.

Because Khan Academy doesn't teach anything beyond 1st or 2nd year? lol...
