KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 10:25AM In the end and future, we have a campus of resources, ever-improving that could enhance public school resources
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 10:25AM as well as add to homeschool resources and go from preschool to higher ed

KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 10:28AM I've been wanting to help challenged schools curricularize youtube and other sources of instruction for a while now
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 10:39AM a blend of archived and real time instruction would always be available. Retired teachers could volunteer, experts cold share ideas...
geoWIZard thinks Jan 31, 2009 11:07AM empowered educator Eco-Futures Forum memes are hard at work here!
geoWIZard wonders Jan 31, 2009 11:16AM IF there's a GlobalBrain meme guiding Plurk-Scout Net INTERdependence?
mimi says Jan 31, 2009 01:00PM you are inspirational! have you looked at iTunesU? Ohio has a new presence with some world languages, STEM, natural history resources.
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 03:50PM kevinhoneycutt Is this ( openhighschool.org/ ) kind of what you were envisioning?
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 04:38PM mkbwsu: Like that but maybe more ad hoc, pockets of created and maintenanced synchronous along with lots of just-there,
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 04:38PM customizable curriculum resources that the end user designs for themselves
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 04:39PM I Google lots of opensources schools, uschool, freeschool, looking for what I had in mind. Such an effort is probably underway.
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 04:41PM 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 Jan 31, 2009 04:41PM flat online services where kids just slog through a page at a time
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 04:41PM I mean, kids are willing to do these flat curriculums because they want to finish school but have you ever seen some of these?
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 05:23PM kevinhoneycutt It is organized as a charter school for funding purposes, but I believe the model would be a self-paced one.
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 05:23PM The project being led by David Wiley, among others, so all open source content, toying around with the notion of open teaching.
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 05:24PM David played with the concept of open teaching this past year in one of his own courses at Utah State.
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 05:25PM clifmims did something similar last summer with his web 2.0 class, essentially opening it up to anyone who wanted to participate.
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 05:25PM 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 Jan 31, 2009 05:26PM It David's case he offered those non-USU students a certificate of completion that he simply printed on his own.
mkbwsu Jan 31, 2009 05:29PM If that doesn't work, just go to opencontent.org/blog and search certificate
KevinHoneycutt Jan 31, 2009 05:29PM 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
