The Internet is full of useful information, but it’s disorganized and often unreliable. The potential of the Internet for education is especially huge.Imagine tapping into that potential.Imagine collecting all the best free educational videos made for children, and making them findable and watchable on one website. Then imagine creating many, many more such videos.Just think: hundreds of thousands of great short videos, and other media, explaining every topic taught in schools, in every major language on Earth.Finally, imagine them all deeply and usefully categorized according to subject, education level, and placed in the order in which topics are typically taught.WatchKnow–as in, “You watch, you know”–is trying to do this.WatchKnow a non-profit, online community that encourages everyone to collect, create, and share free, innovative, educational videos. WatchKnow is now available for beta-testing, although it is not yet “officially” launched (see News below). Whether you’re a teacher, a student, or just someone who cares about the education of children, you can now get involved. Please sign up–but note that you can add new videos to our system without signing up (they’ll have to be approved first).There is no better cause to support online than the future of our children. And just imagine how fantastic it would be if there were a resource online we could go to, or send our kids to, that would explain every topic they study in school instantly and reliably.If we get together, we can create it.
