They seem completely dumbfounded that there is life outside of social media. After the kids go to bed I will sit and watch videos on Khan..I usually like the physics stuff on there..

I try new languages and watch videos on making things..I have learned (done and finished projects from using online education.

Well I hope to fill this thread with more information, and I am hoping more people can add to it.

Thanks for those that have already contributed, but let's keep it going!

Anyone who knows some great link to help learn something please add.


P.S. The reason why I think it is better to have a thread like this over a search engine, is that not everyone is going to get the same results trying to search themselves because of many different factors.


All right guys, good hunting!
