*****

now let’s go to the “server” side

where teachers create lessons, and curriculum

This is the hard part- build the app

so teachers can create lessons from Wikipedia

Why Wikipedia?

Open source, no copyrights needed

already linked and organized

schools can change from typical brick and mortar classrooms, with school buses, teachers

desks, classes, lockers

to wifi hotspot libraries walking distance from home

or from home, or away from home

from anywhere.

go to school, get credits, even earn money

which you can spend on anything

just by learning.

*****

Teachers can earn money by generating lessons

which can be peer reviewed

and accepted for accreditation

and included in a curriculum.

Anyone can create the lesson,

but it must be peer reviewed by accredited teachers before posting/payment.

And only an accredited teacher can edit the lesson, in the “wiki” fashion.

For which he may be compensated.

Thousands of lessons can be generated and edited simultaneously

With millions working on the project

A world wide free and accredited school system can be created

in a hundred languages

in the blink of an eye.

accessible from anywhere,

any time.

by anyone.
