I've been looking at this with interest...
Nice that somebody with 30 seconds on their hands can spare it to provide
a review. :-)

Amber,
This was on one of the lists I follow.
Bob Earp is a fellow programmer who lives in British Columbia. I've met him
several times and he seems like a sharp fellow.
You might be interested in the link he provided:

For those "technology in the classroom" nay-sayers on the list, and everybody
else for that matter who has not taken a look at the success schools and individuals are
having with Salman Khan's model, go take a look first at http://youtu.be/gM95HHI4gLk
Then explore www.khanacademy.org where there is literally thousands of
educational snippets from the basics of math to such obtuse things as Apsidal
Precession (Perihelion Precession) and Milankovitch Cycles, all for free.
What's more, there is a built-in self paced educational model that seems to be
having great success through all ages, but especially K - 12.
As proof of success, in the last two days I have had grandchildren call and
boast how they can do things that they have not been taught in the classroom
yet, and their parent report that they are coming home and studying these
things persistently and without encouragement.
Seem like teachers are finally getting a break to spend time teaching, or
rather managing teaching, to the individual level rather than the mean.
I'm sold !!
best, Bob...
