Learning More Online

It only takes a few years to start reminiscing about college, to begin wishing you'd done so much more. Only two years out, I'm already regretting all of the classes I didn't take, all of the students I didn't meet (because, seriously, sometimes in college you learn more from the people there with you than you do from the text books).

So what to do? I'm already big-time in debt to loan people from Millsaps. I've already clunked over more money to a grad. program. I read this article in Time about bringing classrooms into the 21st Century. The article explores all kind of cool aspects of learning in the new more-global, more-techno world, but one thing I found particularly interesting is this site Curriki.

The site has various text books and curriculum online for free. There aren't a lot on there now, but there are 450 courses in the works. Very cool for those like me who are regretting all the things they didn't learn in college (not to mention high school).
