Hi, my name is Bruce Wagner.  This website came out of a need to create an
online learning tool for my nephews.  They came from one of the mountain
villages of Shan State, which is in Northern Myanmar (formerly Burma).  When I
first met them, they couldn’t speak or understand one word of English.  They
definitely couldn’t read or write at all, in any language.  I searched the web
looking for tools or apps that I could use to teach them English… reading,
writing, pronunciation, and spelling.  It look quite a long time, but I finally
found a nearly perfect tool.  I modified the way it was designed to work just
slightly, and we have been using it ever since.  They work on it about 6 hours a
day, and their vocabulary and reading ability has improved exponentially.

Because this tool is so easy to use, it’s on the web, and it’s totally free…  I
thought it a shame not to share it with the world.  So I created this web page
just to make a place to list the simple instructions… and a link to the tool. 
While I am creating a web site anyway, I figured…  Why not make a resource that
lists the best tools out there… while I’m at it.  So, here I am compiling the
very best-of-the-best of free online learning tools, courses, and apps.   

Here is Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, who explains much better than I
could, the philosophy of computer-assisted online learning…

As Sal Khan says…  “My basic philosophy of teaching was straightforward and
deeply personal. I wanted to teach the way I wished that I myself had been
taught. Which is to say, I hoped to convey the sheer joy of learning, the thrill
of understanding things about the universe. I wanted to pass along to students
not only the logic but the beauty of math and science. Furthermore, I wanted to
do this in a way that would be equally helpful to kids studying a subject for
the first time and for adults who wanted to refresh their knowledge; for
students grappling with homework and for older people hoping to keep their minds
active and supple.”

Bill Gates and Elon Musk call Khan Academy, “the future of education”.
