I watched a very well made video on the website known as Khan Academy recently. The video was under the the category called Finance, and then the subcategory called Current Economics. The video was about Unemployment. I am very impressed with the amount of detail and effort that was put into making it. Imagine over 3,000 videos similar to the one that I watched!
Here is a link to the video that I watched:

If there was one thing that I could change, however, it would probably be the length of the video. I realize that it would be very difficult to put that amount of information in each one in a less lenghty time, but imagine trying to study ten of these videos the day before a big test. They're ruffly 12 minutes each.
Khan Academy has been doing more than just videos. They've been trying to improve class in school. An interesting idea that they came up with is what they call "flipping the classroom." Flipping the classroom is doing things that you would do at home (homework) in class and things you would do in class at home. I think it would be a great idea and that schools (that don't already use this method of teaching) should put it into action.
Overall, Khan Academy has done an incredible job, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs assistance in a certain subject. They have pretty much anything you would need to know for school, and even for life (work related subjects).
