To answer Ralph's question: No, the webcams do not have to be from students. The only requirement is that there be some educational value in the camera view. Thus the camera can show an artist doing his craft, a musician playing, an actor rehearsing, a scientist in a lab, a teacher teaching, etc.

I would love to know more about this. I tried something like this with secondary students a few years ago when webcams were not as sophisticated as they are now. I think the world is ready for live communication between students from different cultures. The videos that circulate everywhere are useful and fun but videos are quite static compared to live communication. You can email me with more info at PenderaEvans@gmail.com<br />

Thks!

Hello John,<br />
<br />
Thanks for bringing up this proposal on Classroom 2.0.<br />
You might also mention that in certain circumstances, a webcam will be sent FREE to schools who want to participate and who agree to upload their webcam feed to our network (which is also free, if you use camstreams.com, Mywebcam, or Yahoo Messenger webcams).<br />
Here in Switzerland we are working on a World Mind Network channel called Rehearsals, wherein student musicians practice live and share notes (and riffs) with other…

Here in Switzerland we are working on a World Mind Network channel called Rehearsals, wherein student musicians practice live and share notes (and riffs) with other students playing the same instruments in other parts of the globe. It's very exciting!<br />

Hello John et al,<br />
<br />
You might also mention that this is a powerful way for students to get exposure that will further their careers.<br />
A good example is Phil Hansen, an art student who became semi-famous partly through social networkers who spread the news about his site philinthecircle.com<br />
Another example is Kjerstin Erickson, a college student who used the Net to build an organization staffed entirely by students which conducts literacy and business classes among refugees in Botswana and…

Hello John,<br />
<br />
You and I discussed this idea 3 weeks ago, and I still think it's a good one. However, I have a new question: do the people for whom you will submit these news releases HAVE to be students? I ask because I have 2 people whose work I would like to submit, but they are artisans, not students. I found them through Kiva.org, the site that allows people to extend microcredit loans to 3rd world entrepreneurs. One is a sculptor in Paraguay, and one is a weaver in Tajikistan who makes…

I found them through Kiva.org, the site that allows people to extend microcredit loans to 3rd world entrepreneurs. One is a sculptor in Paraguay, and one is a weaver in Tajikistan who makes beautiful woolen wall hangings. They could really use the exposure. Are they eligible for your proposal?<br />
