Youtube/Khan Academy Learning

Although I don't take any in class courses, I think that after watching the "Red Shift" video and taking a look at Khan Academy it would have helped me a lot in my in class courses. Being a visual learner, I wish I had known about this earlier.

I actually have a basic understanding of the Red Shift after watching it, surprisingly. He explained the details very well with good graphics to go along with it.

The idea of a short video with an explanation to go along with the visuals is pretty cool. I have taken Accounting in grade 11 and 12... didn't do well... but I watch the video on "Introduction to Balance Sheets" and the way this fellow taught the balance sheet would have been a lot easier to understand. Too late now though.

If that doesnt work the link is... Introduction to Balance Sheets



Sort of what the Introduction to Balance Sheets looks like.


Accounting was a class I would literally sleep through... Fourth period in the second semester of grade 12 was nap time for me. If he has been able to put a video up and save us all time I strongly believe I would have gotten a higher mark and more interrupted sleep.

Anyway, if I was able to use videos from Khan Academy in class or even knew about it, I probably would have done much better in high school. This will come in handy for University!
