Coursera and others to revolutionize education as we know it
Many elite universities are jumping on board offering free online classes. Corsera is one company providing a way for outsiders to attend classes at these prestigious universities without ever leaving the comfort of their home. Education should look very different in just a few years, maybe sooner.
Researching curricula while on va-ca
I’ve spent the late evening hours researching and comparing curricula. I’ve mentioned before that I use Calvert’s material as my skeleton, but I tweak things here and there, add to, delete, etc trying to individualize each child’s studies. Just ordered many new books and had them sent to our realtor. Sounds like a fun vacation, right?
Actually, it is except for when my kids complain that I’m making them do schoolwork at the beach!
