In the section about using video, Salman Khan talked about how he started khanacademy.org by helping his cousins through YouTube videos.  This will be a wonderful resource for the students that I facilitate online.  Sometimes they are not able to understand a concept, and they must show mastery before they can move on to the next concept.  This will be a great way for them to see how something is done using another source.  I can also see this resource being used while I am substituting in a classroom.  There are 2200 videos, many of which are for math and science concepts.  I found that they cover all the concepts that are in the Apex units I facilitate.  It will also be a great resource for my grandchildren to use.

There are also many of the AEA Online resources that will help my grandchildren with History Day, Night of the Notables and other classroom projects.  I sure wish they had been around when my children were struggling with finding pictures and primary sources for projects.  Since I contacted one of the schools I work with, I was able to get the username and password to explore several of the resources.  This summer two grandsons that live in Kiev, Ukraine will be staying with us for two weeks.  I think that I now have resources for rainy or very hot days...and maybe we'll make the fruit compote recipe from CultureGrams too.
