The other sites on the suggested list of "going to college for free" info that my friend wrote about in her article are:
www.wonderhowto.com - curators of this site comb more than 1700 websties for good instructional videos on how to do almost anything. The videos are short and specific and cover a wide range of practical topics.
www.howcast.com - like the preceding site, innumberable vidoes on how to do almost anything from Howe to Look Great in a Photograph to How to Avoid Snakebites.
www.Ted.com/talks - TED (technology, entertainment, design) refers to an annual conference that brings together some of the world's top thinkers and doers to give a talk in 18 mins or less about their work, thinking, or accomplishements. More than 600 of the best of these are gathered at this site in video format. At the home page, talks may be selected by event, length and rating (one of which is "jawdropping" and its sev'l subdivisions, suchs beautiful, inspiring, funny, etc.) Videos start as soon as the appropriate image is clicked.
And last,
www.forum-network.org - this site offers live and on-demand lectures and readings by some of the world's foremost scholars, authors, artists, policy makers and community leaders sourced from public tv and radio stations. Videos can be selected by individual lectures or series, and by the categories of "featured," "recent," and "popular."
I have barely had a change to check out each of them, but they all look very interesting. I hope you find something to entertain, or help, you....................jean
