Khan Academy on YouTube

Today I watched my first video on khanacademy channel. He's Sal Khan, a high school valedictorian, MIT & Harvard Business School graduate. In other words, he's really smart. :p I subscribed to the channel a few weeks ago after I saw a post on it on one of my favorite blogs, Page F30. It is basically a channel that teaches different types of academic subjects (alas, no languages though). He was even featured on CNN and PBS for his service to humanity. The CNN spot even talked about a girl in the UAE (I think it was) who was getting help with her calculus college class through his videos. Very, very cool. The videos I watched were on the credit crisis, the four videos in his Housing Conundrum series. Very interesting, perhaps business school wasn't a waste of time for me, I just needed to find someone who could explain things in ways I could understand, and being able to watch over & over again doesn't hurt either. Most of his videos seem to focus on math and science, although he does talk about business and history as well. It's a very cool channel and I highly recommend it.
