I've mentioned the website In Pictures before. This is the company doing a whole bunch of free online tutorials across a variety of topics. Chris Charuhas, the founder had sent me an update on the excellent page view growth. Inside the email, Chris made what I believe is an excellent comment with respect to how the Internet and how the Web is evolving:
"With the rise of social networking and blogs, what matters most on the Web is not a big, rich company saying, "Buy This," but a lot of regular folks saying, 'Try this.'"
Excellent. I'd urge you to check out the work Chris has done especially if you are working with school system that are lacking funds for online/computer training materials. Chris has worked with developing nations and schools around the world using FTP and good old sneaker net to get useful material into the hands of educators worldwide.
Well done, Chris, well done.
