I would like to see our schools bring this kind of education to the classroom.

I highly recommend watching this TEDtalks video and check out the over 2,000 videos at their website khanacademy.org. It is pretty incredible.

Also recommended: their blog, particularly the post "Bringing Creativity to Class Time."

The basic concept is to have kids learn lecture material at home at their own pace by youtube videos and free up class time for more peer and student-teacher interaction/advising/mentoring and project based learning.

I would love to see the Fargo school system build its online resource like the KhanAcademy website for the use of not only students but also adults working to get their GED and New Americans!
