<div style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I noticed that the online <STRONG>Khan Academy</STRONG>, which offers more than 3,300 video resources on nearly all aspects of learning, also has a site section called <STRONG>Teacher Toolkit</STRONG>. It's here: </FONT><A href="http://www.khanacademy.org/toolkit/"><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">http://www.khanacademy.org/toolkit/</FONT></A></div>
<div><br>
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><FONT size=4><STRONG>Teacher Toolkit</STRONG> looks to be packed with educator resources to help teachers in the classroom. A teacher FAQ section is instructive, as well. Has anyone on this list used these resources?</FONT></FONT></div>

<div><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">For students, a site section on <STRONG>Computer Science</STRONG> is new, here: </FONT><A href="http://www.khanacademy.org/cs/"><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">http://www.khanacademy.org/cs/</FONT></A><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">. It's dedicated to learning and mastering various aspects of programming. Tutorials, videos and so forth are available, to instruct on animation, math, drawing, simulation, games, fractals, theory and more. There is a general shortage of programmers, especially with girls, and the <STRONG>Computer Science</STRONG> section of <STRONG>Khan Academy</STRONG> might be especially valuable to address this shortage.</FONT></div>
