You may already know about this:

I just saw it on PBS news the other day. This guy just draws on the blackboard and teaches you the basics of all these different subjects.

Biology, Algebra, Statistics, the bailouts, the credit crisis, Trigonometry, Geometry, etc.

It's all free on YouTube.

Schools around the globe are using these for instruction--especially in impoverished areas.

Nice way to get a refresher course or a crash course, without spending tons on tuition and textbooks.

Check it out when you have some time.

6. I thought my daughter could use it, too.

And I thought I'd better learn something about Physics and Calculus if I'm going to have to be ANY help whatsoever with homework next year.
