Outstanding site for Video Lessons

image

Sometimes we do not always completely understand or are unable to comprehend the lessons that we had. And this often leads to us scrambling through the pages of our books to make some descent sense of what on earth we are learning.

But what if, you could actually watch videos of teachers teaching you the subject material. On one of my previous posts, I showcased Thinkwell, a software which just brings an entire class lesson back to your home. But that is a piece of software that you have to buy (if you did not use torrent files), very big and a small area for the lecture.

But the Educational Channel, is a channel that gives you free video revision material which you can study from. Made by the creator of various educational sites, now intends to bring back to life the class room through his free video site.

Right now, it is mainly packed with mathematical videos, but hopefully after the upgrade, it will be a site to marvel at, and a gem for your bookmark bar! Winking smile

Graph paper

A lot of the times, the graph paper I buy, just does not seem to be what I want, and shops these days (the normal ones) have such a limited array of graph papers. In south Asia, the graph paper is often in inches rather than centimetres.

So, I cut all the hassle, and simply went to the web for a solution.

This website it one that I really like. Click here to visit! Smile

Thinkwell

thinkwell
I came to a new country, where the teacher need to learn from their students, how to do their jobs.
It saddens me to think so lowly of the very people that make the back-bone of a country, but sad to say, there is little reason for their sloppy teaching methods and standards.

So, I had to find a way to somehow learn the things I needed to, but at the same time, I needed to keep it feasible.

The internet offered a great source of learning resources, but one particular resource called the Thinkwell series, seemed to distinct itself.

These were essentially lessons inside a CD case, as well as experiments to come with. Using great lecturers to carry out the lessons, this resource prepares you most adequately for the AP course, which is very closely related to the IGCSE, the IB and the A Level courses, and would be useful to any student studying for a public school exam.

Just go to Google and type in “Thinkwell”, and I can assure you, you will not be disappointed with the material they give you.
