[WikiEducator] Ideas and thoughts WE's working in the school sector
Hi everyone, This past week I've been working on a funding proposal aimed at establishing a national New Zealand OER collaboration for the school sector, working in close collaboration with the local Ministry of Education and key stakeholders. While this proposal has a strong New Zealand focus, there are two aspects which may be of international interest for our community: - The tools development stream (Stream 2) in the proposal which aims to improve usability of the WikiEducator platform for Newbies - The possibilities of replicating national initiatives like this in other countries. I'd encourage WikiEducators working in the school sector or policy makers within Ministries of education to take a look and let us know what you think. See: http://wikieducator.org/Funding_proposals/Reusable_and_portable_content_for_New_Zealand_schools Any advice or thoughts you may have are always well received :-) This proposal is still work in progress, but in line with the OER Foundation's commitment to open philanthropy -- we develop all our proposals transparently as free content.

The main thing I'd like to think we could acheive, in the first instance, is coming up with a telephone (conferencing) number which we could all use to talk to one another at the cost of a local call. The aim is to build a global collaboration network using tools which are already there. http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/about.jsp We wil want to build this from the bottom up, and in Australia this is the bottom. http://www.arcs.org.au/products-services/collaboration-services/video/evo/telephone-bridge-phone You'll see (at the bottom of the page) that there are already some 'telephone bridge numbers' for different countries. I'm hoping we might be able to add a few more, depending on your locality. I'm pretty sure that this won't be too much of a leap for the people in your institution which work with these kind of tools, You only need to tell them that you'd like to tap in to an EVO meeting by dialing a local telephone number. That's step 1. If we can get this far, and you ask your techs to contact arcs and add your local number to the international list, we can all get some idea of the power of WE. (Phone Bridge doc is at the bottom of page) From there WE'd want to have a dedicated global 24/7 conference number which I'd suggest would be 94533 (wikied), and, if I see the list grow, I'll stay on caltech's case untli WE have it. That's step 2. There's a bit more work, and learning, to do for all of us in order to take it to step 3, where we have a virtual room numbered 94533 in which we can do all sorts of things. This sounds a bit convoluted I know, but it gives us an opportunity to turn a few institutional heads that are unaccustomed to building (industrial strength) solutions for global communities. We have to start somewhere. regards, simonfj PS I'd also be interested to see if you have any problems registering for ARCS 'FORUMS'.

Hi Maria, It would be great if you could leave comments on the relevant talk page: http://wikieducator.org/Talk:Funding_proposals/Reusable_and_portable_content_for_New_Zealand_schools Thanks Maria -- look forward to reading your thoughts. Cheers Wayne 2009/6/22 Maria Droujkova droujk...@gmail.com Wayne, I'd be happy to comment on the proposal's details. It is close to some projects we are now working on at Natural Math, so the area is of much interest to me. How would you like tosee comments from people, though? I can make mine colored/bracketed within the document, or save the document to an etherpad, etc. Cheers, MariaD Make math your own, to make your own math. http://www.naturalmath.com social math site http://groups.google.com/group/naturalmath subscribe now to discuss future math culture with parents, researchers and techies http://www.phenixsolutions.com empowering our innovations On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 5:53 AM, Wayne Mackintosh mackintosh.wa...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, This past week I've been working on a funding proposal aimed at establishing a national New Zealand OER collaboration for the school sector, working in close collaboration with the local Ministry of Education and key stakeholders.
