Favorite Teacher Website

Currently my favorite teacher/teaching website is Khan Academy. Salman Khan is the creator of this web resource. He initially started the website to help teach his daughter mathematics but it has branched out into so much more since then. He does not profit from the website. I think this is amazing because in a world where money and greed often seem like the driving force, there is at least one person who cares enough about learning to spread education for free.
  Khan Academy is a fantastic resource for teachers as well. The website is a wonderful tool to supplement teaching.  I would highly recommend it as a resource to refresh memories and to help those who may be struggling with a concept, especially mathematics concepts. This website could also be used for gifted students to be challenged. The site could be used to teach higher lessons to some while the rest of the class is learning a bit behind.
  Regardless of how it is used, Khan Academy could be implemented into every classroom. To see more click on the link:
