| KevinHoneycutt | is | imagining a uschool project, where we all collaborate to build a virtual school that supplies an ever-changing faculty of archived |
| KevinHoneycutt | instructors. |
| KevinHoneycutt | Where we all go out and find the best "free" instruction on youtube, teachertube and university open source |
| KevinHoneycutt | and deliver it all to one virtual campus that is easy, compelling and fun to use. |
| KevinHoneycutt | We let learners evaluate the quality of instruction and fire resources that don't make the grade. |
| KevinHoneycutt | In the end and future, we have a campus of resources, ever-improving that could enhance public school resources |
| KevinHoneycutt | as well as add to homeschool resources and go from preschool to higher ed |
| KevinHoneycutt | some live streaming and fund it with Google Ads when it get enough traffic |
| KevinHoneycutt | Picture a remote school or a remote learner who needs ready access to learning getting just in time learning that is evaluated by all users. |
| KevinHoneycutt | I've been wanting to help challenged schools curricularize youtube and other sources of instruction for a while now |
| KevinHoneycutt | a wiki like construct where we order up what we want and need |
| Loonyhiker | says | ooooh, i like that! |
| KevinHoneycutt | a blend of archived and real time instruction would always be available. Retired teachers could volunteer, experts cold share ideas... |

| geoWIZard | wonders | IF there's a GlobalBrain meme guiding Plurk-Scout Net INTERdependence? |
| jenn.kraft | that sounds really ccool kevin |
| dawne | says | Ambitious and cool idea!!  |
| mimi | says | you are inspirational! have you looked at iTunesU? Ohio has a new presence with some world languages, STEM, natural history resources. |
| judyb64 | says | thinking all the time aren't you Kev. |
| karebear_B | says | It would be wonderful |
| Rod Tolle | says | even with availability on a fee basis, this is a good idea. |
| mkbwsu | kevinhoneycutt Is this ( openhighschool.org/ ) kind of what you were envisioning? |
| KevinHoneycutt | mkbwsu: Like that but maybe more ad hoc, pockets of created and maintenanced synchronous along with lots of just-there, |
| KevinHoneycutt | customizable curriculum resources that the end user designs for themselves |
| KevinHoneycutt | I Google lots of opensources schools, uschool, freeschool, looking for what I had in mind. Such an effort is probably underway. |
| KevinHoneycutt | and if it is, I know people who need it now |
| KevinHoneycutt | What I really want to do is to see if we can put together something that at first equals, then exceeds the scope of some of these expensive, |
| KevinHoneycutt | flat online services where kids just slog through a page at a time |
| KevinHoneycutt | I mean, kids are willing to do these flat curriculums because they want to finish school but have you ever seen some of these? |
| KevinHoneycutt | we can do better with a free ad hoc approach I know it! |
| KevinHoneycutt | mkbwsu: Looking closer Michael, it is very much like that! |
| mkbwsu | kevinhoneycutt It is organized as a charter school for funding purposes, but I believe the model would be a self-paced one. |
| mkbwsu | The project being led by David Wiley, among others, so all open source content, toying around with the notion of open teaching. |
| mkbwsu | David played with the concept of open teaching this past year in one of his own courses at Utah State. |
| mkbwsu | So folks who aren't students at their universities can still do the content of the course, they just don't pay (or get university credits). |
| mkbwsu | It David's case he offered those non-USU students a certificate of completion that he simply printed on his own. |
| mkbwsu | David describes that course here opencontent.org/blog/?s=certificate |
| mkbwsu | If that doesn't work, just go to opencontent.org/blog and search certificate |
| KevinHoneycutt | mkbwsu: I love all of this and would like to have a round table discussion about the shape of all of this. There is a session at Podstock |
| KevinHoneycutt | about curricularizing open learning |
| KevinHoneycutt | and Clif is coming! |
| mkbwsu | He'd be a good one to talk about it. |
