Ivy League "cyber" style

"The mind, once expanded to the dimension of larger ideas, never goes back to its original size."
Oliver Wendell Holmes


My friend Nicole Pano turned me on to these websites below that offer online courses sponsored by those well known schools most of us have heard of but many have not attended. Some are even Ivy League.

They offer online classes of which several are free, and others very inexpensive. The best part is these are open to everyone, unlike their brick and mortar counterparts.

So, I am thinking that perhaps I will spend a little less time on Facebook, or watching "Project Runway" this year, and a little more time learning, Ivy League style!...hmm...now where are my tortoise shell glasses?

Just for fun here are a few more online educational websites.

(This one is more creative, some classes are not free but still very inexpensive)
