Khan Academy

"Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content."

I like how you were able to login and pick an Avatar and I think students would love this. I think this site would be very beneficial for a student struggling in a certain area. They could practice in parts where they are struggling. The website is free and you are truly joining a "Global Classroom".  They have video lessons translated into almost 40 languages and counting in addition to the Spanish, French, and Brazilian versions of our site and this would be great for students who have come from a different country. The website is non profitable and is for everyone. I honestly don't see anything negative about this website.
