Magnetman,
Please forgive me for using your forum as a notebook. It is simply the best place I know to bookmark this info for future reference. Also hopeful that you (and others) might find this of some use:
www.khanacademy.org/
The existing system of government-funded education is facing a technological challenge. The Web can deliver content for free. The model for this is Salman Khan's wonderful Khan Academy. Students from all over the world start with 1 + 1 = 2, and go from there through calculus. It is all done with free 10-minute YouTube videos.
He did this in his spare time just because he wanted to. Now he has funding to create an entire curriculum.
--thanks! m
