What's Khan Academy All About?





Learn almost anything for free.

With a library of over 3,500 videos on everything from arithmetic to physics, finance, and history and hundreds of skills to practice, we're on a mission to help you learn what you want, when you want, at your own pace.
We are a donor-supported not-for-profit and would not be possible without the generous support of users everywhere. In particular, we'd like to thank The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Ann & John Doerr, the O'Sullivan Foundation, Reed Hastings, Google, and the Windsong Trust for their strong support of our mission.

I wrote about this before and it is so popular worldwide that I'm giving more easy to use information to learn high school and college level stuff on these subjects and taught by an MIT graduate who has devoted his time to educating the world online for free. Bill Gates has donated over 3 million dollars in developing this site because he believes it will educate the planet in new ways to make everything better. Here is my last very popular article regarding this site:
khanacademy.org a free revolution in teaching mathematics worldwide.  

Note: Though everything is taught presently in English I think using computer translators this might be converted to other languages as well. Or human Volunteer translators who are educated in English and local languages worldwide might be able to translate from English into local languages many of these lessons as well.  Though it might be useful in today's world to learn English many people would be happy to learn about these things in their native languages worldwide as well.

Later: I was thinking more about this. If the verbal video was transcribed into print a robot translator like "Google  Translator" or "Google Website translator" like I have here at my site could translate it. It could then be refined by a native speaker in whatever language it was being translated into and re-dubbed into the video for use in any language or country.
