Some issues that arise: Should all students everywhere access the same uniform version of the same set of information?
For now, all I know is that I have used Khan's videos with my students as well as for myself. Top 7 Websites to Help with Homework. Where to Get the Best Free Education Online. Google+ For Educators. NotMYkid - Home.
