Kluane / Wrangell-St Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek: wHAT HAPPENED MAN WE WERE TO START THAT PROGRAMME IN KENYA, Unfolding, ALL Languages

Someone messaged me recently (on Monday October 24, 2011):


CM:

wHAT HAPPENED MAN WE WERE TO START THAT PROGRAMME IN KENYA


SM:

World Univ & Sch is unfolding slowly ...

WUaS is inviting countries to engage this open university and school process (like Wikipedia), in all their languages

If you would like to help, let me know ... Wikipedia happened because we all made it ...


CM

ofcourse yes l would like to be among the team and help


SM

I'd invite you, C, to join these groups - http://groups.google.com/group/World-University-and-School/ and here -http://www.facebook.com/groups/48753608141/ - to start ...

I'm thinking that a Kenya-focus, or your-language focus, are the two best places to begin ...

World Univ & Sch wants to be in all 3,000-8,000 languages ...

what's your fist language, C?

KiSwahili or Luhya?


CM

SWAHILI,LUHYA


SM

You're welcome, of course, at this wiki (editable web pages), to add some key teaching and learning web sites to the Languages' subject page here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages or to teach to your web camera about the Luhya language, or Kenya or Uganda.

Each language will eventually become a university or school itself, much like the English one, and will develop over time ... are you in Uganda as you type?


The idea informing World University & School is that we all do/make it ... teach & learn to and from each other (like Wikipedia - http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mwanzo ) ... and MIT Open Course Ware will inform the academic standard for universities


I found this Swahili Wikipedia, but I don't see a Luhya Wikipedia in Luhya yet - here's the Luhya entry in Wikipedia -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhya_people - Consider trying to get to know the people in Kenya who are making the Swahili Wikipedia as another start ...

CM

I'm in uganda graduating this year Dec.


SM

Great ... (congratulations)


CM

You welcome we celebrate together


SM

It's worth celebrating! ... How far are you (in hours) from the capitals of Uganda or Kenya? I'm curious about your possible networking with Swahili Wikipedia or One Laptop per Child in your countries? ...


C ... Must go now, please join the above groups, and please let me know if you'd like to add some teaching and learning URL links to the Swahili and Luhya languages - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages - Bye for now!


CM

We are not far frm towns,we are near Entebbe airport.come and u donate for us computers if possible.kenya we are near ma

SM

Here's the World Univ & Sch Hardware Resources Possibilities' page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hardware_Resource_Possibilities - and WUaS would eventually like to get into recycling computers, including donations, to facilitating teaching and learning in countries and among people that especially need them. Let's keep in touch.


CM

sinde muliro univrsity and others


SM

Is the university nearest to you, or where you are graduating from?

What city or town?

CM

Come this Dec for vacation we go together to masai mara beach and mombasa


SM

Masinde Muliro University of Science and technology (MMUST) ... is this the same? ... I don't see coming to east Africa soon ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_and_colleges_in_Kenya ...

in Kakamega


CM

Yes,its the one.


SM

Ok ... thanks




CM

I'm using old laptop,pls could u get me this small one?


SM

Hi C ... if you'd like to help with World Univ & Sch's teaching and learning resources, let me know ... (why don't you come to the States this December and get one ... ) ... I suspect I have nearly as little money as you do ... my laptop is old as well ... My focus is on WUaS ... please let me know if you'd like to volunteer ...


CM

Have to volunteer and l like that so much,l'm also volunteering for an American who is in kenya starting a project


SM

Great ... more later ...

Perhaps C will become the Luhya teacher in a virtual world, like the Goethe Institute makes available, and this will become the way to focus the development of a whole school or university in Luhya.



*

Free Goethe Institute for ALL Languages online?

WUaS would like to become the Goethe Institute (e.g. with free, interactive German instruction in Second Life - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#Language_Learning) - of language instruction, for free, for ALL 3,000-8,000 languages ...

Learn Luhya in a virtual world?

Yes ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages - (How soon?) ...


And SO much more ...



... free universities and schools online and interactive at WUaS :)
