Free Internet Teachers Aide

Recommended Posts

Public Broadcasting Service in USA recently did a story on Sal Kahn, an ex hedge fund guy who decided to give back to the world and teach over the internet using teaching nuggets on a variety of topics that students have difficulty with. Students around the world are listening to his Youtube videos to gain an understanding of topics they need extra help on. The variety of topics from basic addition to photosynthesis that he teaches for free on YouTube are listed here

Click on any of the topics and it takes you directly to the YouTube video or alternatively you can do a search on YouTube. Its mostly math, science and business related and is a wealth of free teaching that everyone can learn from.

Students like the idea of being able to repeat the lessons as many times as needed to get what they don't understand.

I wonder if seeing a guy teach math in English might help Thai students (including college students) to better understand English as well as the subject being taught??

I have listened to several of his videos on the world financial crisis and he is very good. Anyone or your students had any experience with the Kahn You Tube videos as a teaching aide?
