I am amazed at what this guy has accomplished. One of the true heroes of the coming world, together with Linus Torvalds or the Google founders.

(ragabr already mentioned this in a topic discussing freely available courses, but I didn't take notice back then.)

I absolutely love Khan Academy and what he is doing. I'm going to school online, and he teaches me more than my courses do. I learn concepts and the execution of them there, and then just take the tests through the school.

It's the perfect example of what the internet can and should be used for!

It's really amazing to consider what the possibilities that this can me for homeschooling and education across the world. There's also a project that allows volunteers to easily translate Youtube videos through subtitles - the spread of education that could come from this blows my mind.

Just purely intrigued by the volume of quality information that this place offers.
Big thumbs up for this place.
