Keoladeo National Park, India: 'How can I keep from singing,' Discourse, 'teaching songs for children learning to sing,'

The beautiful song 'How can I keep from singing' - emerges from a milieu, context, culture, discourse, language - and expresses an impulse to share beautifully, in sound ... (As an anthropologist), how might we generate a culture (like Friends have generated a discourse over 350 years) where we want to sing love, literally and soundly, in many ways? The Music ..... The Music School at WUaS http://worlduniversity.wik​ia.com/wiki/World_Universi​ty_Music_School & with Google + Circles?

and develop a very enjoyable practice of singing a song daily ... from Rise Up Singing, for example :)

Pick a song from Rise Up Singing, daily, listen to Youtube if you don't know it, and sing away? :)



*

Can you suggest a source, or specific songs, for 'teaching songs for children learning to sing,' like the song "1-3-5-8-7-6-5-4-3-5-2-3-4-sha​rp-5 and the 8 is the same as the 1, but an octave apart ..." ? :) ... for example, for learning the relations between notes, or how to sing harmony - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Singing_Harmony ? Thank you!

World University & School - like Wikipedia with MIT OCW - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/World_University - got 501 c 3 nonprofit status (http://www.scottmacleod.com/wo​rlduniversityandschool.htm) earlier this year, and is planning on offering free, online, interactive degrees (Bachelors, Ph.D., Law & Medicine) ... How best to get vocal, and harmonize with, about it? As a budding, great university ...

Kaziranga National Park, India: Developing WUaS on principle, New GENOMICS subject, Graphic Design, great universities for open course ware at WUaS

I'm developing World University & School -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om -

on principle - from conscience (a kind of conscientious objection), in f/Friendly senses - because free, open, highest quality education, in 3000-8000, languages will benefit SO many people. Why don't we have free university education in the U.S., when K-12 is free? An open,fun conversation about ideas (MIT OCW/Wikipedia etc.) can emerge into a kind of flourishing.


*

In what ways could visiting World University & School, for example, its Media Lab - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Media_Lab_at_World_Uni​versity_and_School - but any of it, become as fantastical as visiting India, if attuned to India's 'connectedness, culturally'? :) Let's make WUaS fantastic through making things freely online :)

it's worth checking on the MIT Media Lab online itself - http://labcast.media.mit.e​du/ - just glance through the videos :)

Want to play in a sandbox, now? - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/​Sandbox - I added this and other new resources to World Univ & Sch's wiki, subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Wiki - about wikis ... playing is a fun way to learn.

In what ways will we be able to learn robotics' coding, and innovate, like this, at WUaS? A robot that flies like a bird - http://www.ted.com/talks/a_rob​ot_that_flies_like_a_bird.html - which I added to WUaS's Robotics' subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Robotics ...?

The triple, nuclear meltdown of Fukushima-Daichi wasn't designed to withstand a 9.0 earthquake or at least 9 feet too high Tsunami ...

Surtsey, Iceland: Atheists, Quakers, Nontheistic Friendly kids' camp, Quaker kids, including nontheists, at free World Univ & Sch in 2014?

Hi nontheist Friends,

This Washington Post article on an atheist camp for kids

(http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/camp-quest-is-atheists-answer-to-bible-school/2011/07/19/gIQAe1hRbI_story.html)

does look interesting ...

How about a nontheistic Friendly kids' camp, and then school, after some years?

Online?


I have Quaker kids / Friends' children, including nontheistic, in mind for the first (beginning in 2014), matriculating, free, online Bachelors' degree classes for World University and School (which is like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware), which I mention, for example in this blog entry:

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/07/aldabra-atoll-seychelles-carbon-markets.html (July 28, 2011).

Please spread the word -

tuition-free and free-free are compelling -

especially with MIT Open Course Ware as a basis (32 15 week-long courses for a degree), and emphasizing the conference method (like Reed College with MIT).

I'd like World University and School, itself, to be informed by (nontheistically) Friendly process (organizationally and business meeting-wise), and it's pretty nontheist with its knowledge focus ...

Maybe WUaS can orchestrate a free, in-virtual-worlds, and on the web, nontheist kids' camp.

With friendly greetings,
Scott

Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst, Hungary: The opportunity to engage the conference method, Conversations about Ideas

The opportunity to engage the conference method

(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_­Teaching_and_Learning),

perhaps with MIT OCW or Reed College, faculty or students, and live, in every subject, perhaps by hopping into a virtual world will be invaluable.

Much more than the study group idea, it emerges from ancient Greece, as philosophical discourse, for generating new knowledge, and pursuing knowledge in depth.


World University and School's SUBJECT TEMPLATE -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SU­BJECT_TEMPLATE -

for every subject
(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects)

makes this possible, and one can come into conversation with the core MIT OCW courses themselves, by sharing references, or teaching to your web camera, or generating a live conversation about serious ideas.

then, like a musician playing,

can you add expressivity, from within,

Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles: Carbon Markets, Global Warming and Climate Change, Quaker Kids as first WUaS students in 2014?, Gould playing Bach

Good news: Carbon markets in US and Europe are 'there,' it seems, which is great as a mechanism for managing global warming -

U.S. and Europe Battle Over Airline Carbon Fees

http://mobile.nytimes.com/​article?a=821682

- will look to add to 'Ocean and Climate Change Management Plan' wiki Subject http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Subjects at WUaS.


CL: Need carbon taxes too.

JS: The easiest way to send less carbon into the air is to not demand so many consumer products and electricity. Use less, much less. Not many people in the USA seem serious about using less.


Scott:

agreed ... financial mechanisms for environmental challenges arise in quirky ways ... I suppose this is a kind of carbon tax. And small is beautiful, and voluntary simplicity, both have great merit, perhaps in conjunction with technological innovation and education (eg http://worlduniversity.wik​ia.com/wiki/Energy_Technol​ogies

plus http://worlduniversity.wik​ia.com/wiki/Subjects)


and now how to develop the WUaS's Ocean and Climate Change Plan - http://worlduniversity.wik​ia.com/wiki/Ocean_%26_Clim​ate_Management_Plan - with much more sophistication?



*

Who will matriculate in the first class at World Univ & Sch for a free Bachelor's degree (32 15 week courses) in 2014, interactively online and from home/cafe, engaging MIT OCW with the conference method? Quaker kids/Friends' children? How will WUaS move toward an overachieving student body (who might otherwise go to MIT, Stanford or Harvard, for example)?


*

A Friend in Africa asks, 'How does one learn at this university (WUaS)?' ... One way would be to pick a MIT Open Course Ware course (there are greater than 2000), read the books, have fun with the assignments ... and then move on to a next course, but it depends what you'd like to learn. (Teaching something to your web camera is another way of learning it in greater depth).

The sounds go around

The sounds go around
in the eve
here in Lake County -
back road country -
as they always have,
for millions of years.

I listen and write,
as the crickets, and related,
creak their age-old songs

...

with awareness, and appreciation
that no humans were here
on Turtle Island,
north America,
more than 20,000 years ago,
to hear this, -

and that early writing
began possibly
only 5,000 years ago.
