Pearson - Prentice Hall Textbook Resources - Math
Nice ‘bonus’ material to go along with math textbooks… but no video and not very interactive.
A Post From Yore
A while ago I posted about an article I read posted somewhere on YCombinator.
It was a list of ideas they would like to see addressed in new startups. Well, I went digging around, googling around really, and “re” found what they said:
“Online learning. US schools are often bad. A lot of parents realize it, and would be interested in ways for their kids to learn more. Till recently, schools, like newspapers, had geographical monopolies. But the web changes that. How can you teach kids now that you can reach them through the web? The possible answers are a lot more interesting than just putting books online.
One route would be to start with test prep services, for which there’s already demand, and then expand into teaching kids more than just how to score high on tests. Another would be to start with games and gradually make them more thoughtful. Another, particularly for younger kids, would be to let them learn by watching one another (anonymously) solve problems.”
I will reiterate a thought. Education on the Internet is not organized well. Education on the Internet is not presented well. Education on the Internet is not straight forward.
This is a realm to “do good” in.
