1. I learned that there are different ways to communicate and share ideas with teachers, art majors, just people of all majors around the world.
2. I don't think I would use this as a teacher but I would use this website for like cooking, or potty training our trying to build some items.
3. The strengths on pinterest is you can find anything on here by just clicking one word, and you can compare and contrast different answers or different ways to do things.
4. The challenges are that you never know what you will get and you might not get what you want. Also it can be confusing for someone who is not Technology involved.
5. I personal would not use this site only because of the challenges of this website. I dont get it.

Khan/Koller Review
When you visited the site, was it something you envisiond to use yourself?
I would not have used this website. It was too difficult for me. I felt overwhelmed and confused and trying to use the site. The khan website I can not imagine encouraging my students to used the site because its something I would not use, then I thought about it maybe it wouldn't be hard for my kids to use because they are in the Technology stage, but that leaves me to learn the site better. After perusing so me videos on the site Some were easy to follow and some were not that easy to follow so I am conflicting on this issues. Some would be easy to use. I do but I don't believe that Khan was right about saying "that in the future we will rely more on credentialing through the use of online courses" It can be a catch 22, I do believe that having more online coursed would be accessible or some students but not all like being online. Some children have a short attention span, ADD, ADHD and other disorders that can prevent them to learn in class and they can do well in front of a computer screen. Then you have children who needs hands on experience and doing online courses would not work for them.
When I explore the coursera course offering a few coursed look interesting to me, which are French, education, music, and film and audio. I am a student now at Columbus State Community College and it looks like Columbus State Community College accept transfer credits from coursera. Coursera courses appear to be more Challenging and interesting, just because of all that there is to offer and its seems like a prestigious school. and it doses matter who is teaching the course as well instructor are never the same. MOOC's are not the "the wave of the future, There can be many disadvantages of how that will change a students way to receives their education. Doing Courses online is not always the best solution we take back so much from kids interaction with other kids, and having one on one experience, and there are a number of other reason.

My impression of Coursera :
