I could have sworn I replied to your comment, but I can't find it anywhere! In any case, I would love to sit down and talk (virtually I suppose) sometime if you could. You are right about how important this project is, and I sincerely hope that this project gets the traction it needs to be tested starting this fall in actual middle school classrooms! That's what we are working for every day from now till then, and any thoughts/insights are greatly appreciated. I will send you an email very soon!

Thanks,
Marco

With your work in Global Education, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this virtual ning network is no exception. My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering (in Needham, MA). I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you worked at a middle school, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Marco Morales
