Ok- this is one of those sites that I opened and said...wow...this is FREE? Are you kidding? Its a non-profit organization that is given free online course content from other organizations. It is real, interactive, free online coursework. It may be especially valuable to teachers of Algebra, US History, Living Environment, Environmental Science, Physics, and Statistics. I am amazed at the quality and depth of the lessons I previewed so far. I could see assigning it as review, or really even as prep/homework to get ready for a lesson. You could take a particular lesson and work through it as a class. Its high quality, interactive, and free... it think... check it out and let me know what you think...
