Technology is advancing at an accelerating rate. Schools are providing teens with a traditional education, but they are unable to keep up with this evolution. Limited individual computer accessibility, minimal hands-on training for teachers, and insufficient technical support are all obstacles many schools face. While the availability of curriculum continues to grow, the lack of time and skills required to select, integrate, and teach with technology continues to be a barrier. In addition, funding to provide updated computers, ongoing maintenance, training and support will always be a challenge.
The result is an inability for schools to provide the time, space, or platform for teens to fully utilize technology, either individually or in groups. This lack of integration prevents teens from gaining skills and extending their abilities with technology. Therefore, teens miss the opportunity to find their passion with, or through the use of technology, including the chance to interact with others.
FreshBrain Fills This Gap
At the core of FreshBrain is an open and free web site freshbrain.org that provides teens with the opportunity to explore, engage, and create through activities and projects.

The Internet is full of useful information, but it's disorganized and often unreliable. The potential of the Internet for education is especially huge.

Imagine tapping into that potential.

Imagine collecting all the best free educational videos made for children, and making them findable and watchable on one website. Then imagine creating many, many more such videos.

Just think: hundreds of thousands of great short videos, and other media, explaining every topic taught in schools, in every major language on Earth.

Finally, imagine them all deeply and usefully categorized according to subject, education level, and placed in the order in which topics are typically taught.

WatchKnow--as in, "You watch, you know"--is trying to do this.

WatchKnow a non-profit, online community that encourages everyone to collect, create, and share free, innovative, educational videos.

WatchKnow is now available for beta-testing, although it is not yet "officially" launched (see News below). Whether you’re a teacher, a student, or just someone who cares about the education of children, you can now get involved. Please sign up--but note that you can add new videos to our system without signing up (they'll have to be approved first).

There is no better cause to support online than the future of our children. And just imagine how fantastic it would be if there were a resource online we could go to, or send our kids to, that would explain every topic they study in school instantly and reliably.

If we get together, we can create it.
