Learn Everything

by

school_of_everything.gifI can’t say enough how much I love using Twitter. It keeps me up to date and chatting with all of my friends. I also get tips for articles and websites worth checking out. Like this one for instance, School of Everything.

As soon as I saw this site I knew I had to share it here. The “school” is really a place for people to connect with others who have something to teach them or something to learn from them. If you want to learn more about a topic just search for it and find someone willing to teach you. Or if you have a certain skill you can find other eager to learn. Whether you are teaching for free or charge to pass on your knowledge you can join the School of Everything and add yourself to the club. Here is a tidbit from the Big Idea page about this site.

Our current education system was designed in the industrial revolution to prepare people for factory work. The world has changed a lot since then - and the time has come to rethink education from the bottom to the top.

At School of Everything, we believe that learning is personal, and starts not with what you ’should’ learn but with what you’re interested in. So we’re building a tool to help anyone in the world learn what they want, when, where and in a way which suits them. Putting people in touch with each other, not with institutions.

The site was originally for the UK only but has recently gone international. Still the majority of the teachers listed are from the UK, mainly because that’s where they started. If you from someone else and have a skill you wouldn’t mind sharing you should join up as a teacher. Who knows who you might end up meeting and helping.

I’m sharing this great site as my Works For Me Wednesday post this week. I loved it too much not to pass it on. Don’t forget to go check out the other tips and advice being shared this week as well.
