WUaS's first PhD Indonesian student sent in his best STEM CC-4 OCW courses he plans to study from 9/1/21 & his college & high school transcripts! Want a free PhD online, choose your courses from: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses & email them to info@WorldUniversityAndSchool.org Bach. too!

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1396290249232240643?s=20

World Univ & Sch is beginning to connect faculty with students around the world for free-to-students' degrees, beginning this autumn.

Prospective students: please choose your 1st year of courses from: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses & email them, with your transcripts, to info@WorldUniversityAndSchool.org to matriculate for a free-to-student's 4-year Bachelor, - and/or PhD degrees online, now in English.

Two of WUaS's main pilot languages, 1) Spanish and 2) Chinese:

WUaS Home Lego Robotics in Colombia, a country of 50 million people?

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/08/amazon-river-dolphin.html

Since CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School seeks to develop an online free high school program - in Spanish first (for Colombia, and in communication with Bernardo there, and above) - and since WUaS is in the free Google Workspace for Education / Google Classroom, G Suite for Education,

Eventual matriculating Chinese in WUaS Google Workspace for Eduction for high school, Bachelor and PhD degrees, with robotics' certificates too - in Mandarin

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/08/synchiropus-splendidus.html

& the beginning of China World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/China - which is CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric, and wiki, too, and planning free-to-students' online best STEM OCW-centric degrees (Bachelor, PhD, Law and MD, and IB high school or similar, with something like 'WUaS Home Robotics' with Lego Robotics' kits first - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/robotics) first in Mandarin Chinese - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Mandarin_language_(Chinese) (in Chinese!).

To get an idea of how WUaS will work for credit and free-to-students' online degrees, check out the best STEM CC-4 OCW courses in the Academic wiki subjects - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects.

India WUaS and high school diplomas in Google Workspace for Education?

Glad that Deepti has been a head of ICT at the finest IB school in Dehli, India

Dear Vishal, Reshma and Deepti, (Bernardo, and Prasanth),

I found this online -

Google Certified Educator Level 1 Unit 1: Training Course

https://youtu.be/SW50HDOywJs

... but WUaS is seeking further an already existing nearly complete high school program in Spanish, beyond this MIT OCW high school - https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ - in English, (even to which WUaS could add some WUaS Home Robotics' courses for high schoolers, which is a WUaS project building on this MIT OCW course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - and the 3 Lego Robotics' kits - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - of which WUaS is an authorized reseller in the USA).

Do you know of any such existing online nearly complete high school programs in Google Workspace for Education for free - in Spanish or in English? (Bernardo in Colombia might become the WUaS admin in our WUaS Google Workspace for Education to matriculate Colombian high school students - and interns in a jail program he's working with - who would benefit much from a high school certificate, and from studying from home too ).

If WUaS were to develop an online free high school program in English (and then in Hindi) ... possibly International Baccalaureate diploma standard in the future (but on the amazing Google education platform) - do you know of people in the India Google Educator Groups who might be interested?

Would be interested in reading a direct response to some of these questions from you, Vishal, or Reshma (or?). Thank you!

Namaste,

Scott

WUaS will discuss this further in the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (hour long) to which you are all invited at 9am Pacific Time tomorrow, Sat. August 19, 2021, and with the developing agenda here -

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/08/northern-tidewater-goby.html ...

See too - https://www.ibo.org/about-the-ib/the-ib-by-country/i/india/ :)

not yet in Google Workspace for Education, I think - "Diploma Programme courses online" ... https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/dp-online/diploma-programme-courses-online/ ... :)

Regarding your further exploration, and with Google India, brainstorming-wise, please consider exploring an IB high school diploma even - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme

If we might communicate further about this: WUaS would seek to explore developing a 'rock and roll' flourishing excellent IB WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme high school diploma in Google Workspace for Education - since this is an international standard for a degree or certificate already. And if in Google Workspace for Education, first in English, it would potentially have a significant high school computer science focus too, but still be high school :) ... and building too on MIT OCW for high school - https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ - for its online STEM and CS resources ... Another focus for World Univ & Sch is an ONLINE CAMPUS in a realistic virtual earth for everything and for classrooms, and for STEM ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click ... and ROBOTICS especially -

How best to generate an amazing online WUaS College platform, accredited too, that US high school counselors could share with prospective students interested in free to students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric college degrees (since WUaS didn't proceed with partnering with edX, due partly to U2 reimbursing Harvard & MIT 800,000 million dollars for edX) ... and for WUaS to get reimbursement from departments of education in US states, and all 200 countries? (Google Workspace for Education would be my preference over Mooc-it France).

This is what I'd like to share with Shady Side Academy, and Fettes College in Edinburgh, for example.

These may be WUaS pilot language oriented (Spanish and Chinese) further ... And could we find a fairly complete excellent online high school on Google in Google Workspace for Education (with Home Robotics) in Spanish for Colombia with 50 million people? ... Probably won't reach out to Shady Side Academy at this point per Minute from last MBM - since we don't have a college degree further structured in something like Google Workspace for Education too (beyond MIT OCW free-form) and having gotten a fund raising email from them possibly in response to this Minute ... but will reach out to them when we're further organized .... But WUaS did just receive a reply from Hanna at Mooc-it ... with a related platform for organizing online courses, even from MIT OCW courses (see http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/saxifraga-cernua-wuas-002-circuits-and.html?m=1)

To get out the Minutes sent on Monday or Tuesday before MBM than Thursday Is a little more 'business-like' than usual, but these felt a little rushed, and not as thorough, or creative, as previous WUaS Agenda & News ... Will iterate further with them in the days ahead ... How to build on and grow the 'insta-team' in Colombia in Spanish ?

How to partner or collaborate with MIT and Google further too ? ... May apply for a career first at Google and seeking remuneration to develop WUaS (per Bill Roberts' suggestions on Cuttyhunk, who's a former landlord and friend) ...

see, too -

'The Hacker Ethic and the Spirit of the Information Age' is a book released in 2001, and written by Pekka Himanen, with prologue written by Linus Torvalds and the epilogue written by Manuel Castells.

Here's the text for free with an interesting first picture ...

http://index-of.co.uk/Hackers/hacker%20ethic.pdf

Google could make a form of digital learning CONVERSATION 'rock and roll' in unparalleled ways ... with parallels to virtual world avatar bot CONVERSATIONS in SL for example. Engaging learning conversation is one key thing here with teachers too, but accepted or accredited cultural learning forms would be important for Germany, Colombia, and the US too ... And in the Bay Area Stammtisch in Google MEET (for conversation too esp.) on Saturday with Fritz (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/08/william-o-douglas-wilderness.html), - about 8 BOTS, I think, joined us, 1 of which cloned itself into 3 clones (thanks even to Peter Norvig, who receives the announcements as you may noticed?) ... which bots could be proxies for Second Life avatars too ... and it would be great for our WUaS high school / college students to learn how to create bots, clones, even avatar bots from these, and even SL avatar bots ... but newly avatar bots in the Google environment, which I see happening in other ways too. Google Workspace for Education which WUaS has been in for years - see, too - https://edu.google.com/latest-news/distance-learning/ and https://edu.google.com/ - seems like a great platform, especially if an online high school in Spanish already exists in some ways??? ... and then could WUaS adapt it for America, and even Germany? ... But it still wouldn't be a digital ABITUR for awhile yet anyway, and which could be an interesting goal to head for (since Germans would probably build this in Google Workspace for Education) ... and it would be very computer science centric! Glad here to be creating much, giving and taking Scottish Small Piping lessons, but am eager with Google platform to create an extraordinary virtual Harbin Hot Springs for soaking at home and meditating and hanging out and creating digitally, and to begin to do actual field work again :)
