Khan Academy

Just want share a story about a young guy of Bangladeshi origin, Salman
Khan (he prefers the name Sal Khan by the way). He started helping out his
cousins in doing their homework problems and started posting videos on
youtube. Serendipitously, he found that his postings on youtube were
becoming popular. Then he found it worthwhile teaching people around the
globe for free (via youtube), and quit his job as a hedge fund manager. That
prompted him to take up the role of a one man faculty of his own foundation,
"The Khan Academy". His lecture videos cover a wide range of topics from
math, biology to history, economy and so on. Each lecture clip is about 10 minutes
long (average), covering a single topic from different subjects. Currently, around
1800+ clips are out there in his arsenal on youtube. By the grace of Almighty,
Allah, he is not alone in his journey in making education globally free. The
richest man of the world, Bill Gates and his foundation "Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation" is now the chief patron in funding the "Khan Academy". He also
received 2 Million dollars from the Google's "Project 10^100" as one of the 5
recipients of their Big Educational Ideas. (He is not eating up all the money by the
way.) He is using the money to extend his vision with the money (e.g., making
software to create online test and do other stuffs). Also he is taking an amount
as his monthly salary from the fund. You are encouraged to try some of the video
clips on any topic that interest you in the khan Academy. Here goes the link:
