Southampton PA, USA – Some of you know me personally and know that I have been reasonably active in the ISA (the International Society of Automation nee the Instrument Society of America) for many years. So many years, in fact that I managed to qualify as a Life Member a few years ago (That means I get a fancy pin and don’t have to pay annual dues).

Just learned about Kahn Academy from an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer this morning, June 28,2010. Good thing I read the newspapers once in a while.
Seems like Sal Kahn has been helping students and astounding people worldwide on the Web for a few years and we almost missed it!
Check the following list of categories of some of the free, online courses below in Math & Science that he as already written:
Just click on a selected category or video title to start learning from the Khan Academy!
There are already more than 1600 of his free, educational videos there now! Plus, for the Web geeks out there, his work has garnered more than 17,513,978 “Total Upload Views”, according to the online stats at his YouTube channel. No wonder he has won so many awards and continues to get more popular!
Congratulations to Sal Kahn on his monumental one man effort!! Well Done!!!
