Online Learning for Kids and Adults

Does anyone in your family have a desire to learn from home on your computer?  There is a pretty awesome website called Khan Academy where you can learn (for free) a world of information in different subjects like math, science, arts and humanities, test prep, even computer programming.

From Wikipedia: Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan to provide "a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere."

Here at BHF we use the website specifically for math tutoring, and the results have been excellent.

Children of all ages can benefit from the wide variety of math lessons offered, from basic to complex problem-solving.  Twenty minutes of study a day can go a long ways toward improving skills and staying ahead in school.

Adults with some free time may also be interested.  Perhaps now is the perfect time to take art history basics from the comfort of your couch.

Check it out at khanacademy.org.
