Did you know that you can learn almost anything online, for free?

The free education
world is truly amazing.  You can find classes for nearly anything you can imagine.  Here are a few free online sites to get you started:

1.   www.khanacademy.com       Math, science, economics, art history, and more, all in a user-friendly format.  We use KA to assess our learners and help them find the classes they need to advance. KA has over 4,000 videos in English and over 2,000 videos in Spanish and other languages. 

2.  www.youtube.com           Millions of educational videos.  We use YouTube Khan Academy espanol to help kids in Palomas get up to their grade level in math and science.

3.  www.coursera.com   I'm taking a computer science class on this site.  It has a very comfortable user interface and some of the best teachers online.

4.  Mobile learning    We use dozens of tablet-based applications.  Search for "free education games" on your tablet or phone.  I recommend Babbel English (or Babblel Spanish!) and Math Blaster.
