55: Questions and Answers - Knowledge is Both


I have a Twitter friend who is also featuring new nonprofits every day: @MarkBrokeIt. Recently he featured the Khan Academy, and I am happy to feature it also. The Khan Academy offers resources and free education for anyone to use at his or her own pace. Since I am a knowledge and learning lover, I find this exciting and wonderful for parents, students, and anyone who wants to know things or maybe for someone who may just miss things like Algebra (yes, we are out here). 


A personalized learning resource for all ages
Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content. (https://www.khanacademy.org/about)

On the press page (https://khanacademy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202483630-PressRoom)Khan Academy states, "We have delivered more than 580 million lessons and learners have completed more than six billion exercise problems." So it really want be that long before they've completed one exercise per person on earth - how cool is that? 
So if you want to learn something they didn't offer you in your past curriculum or to share with someone you know, the Khan Academy can help. 

I'm going to end with a question I want to know. So Mark, just what did you break?
