Hi M,
How's your week going? How are you? How's your writing project for this evening going as well? And what are you writing about theme-wise for tonight and in general this course?
Writing the CA BPPE application this morning as envisioning WUaS further may help me past 'writer's block,''balking' at this, or 'application block' ... but asking Larry for help came to mind overnight as well ... what did George A. do with his kids (e.g. with John not 'getting' a hematology course, which could get him into Med Sch, for ex.? - which I recall George talking about) or with analysands too, in such situations ? ('Inhibitory coping strategies' to use John Money's idea? ... and while George appreciated John Money when we talked on the phone not too many years ago, he didn't engage John Money's thinking to actively (in the way he engaged Jacques Lacan MD's thinking, for example), that I know of, in his practice as a thinking psychiatrist, or with raising his kids) ... Not sure what George would do ... language, wait, watch/observe ... become a problem solver analytically and in conversation with John or analysands, for ex.
The Ca BPPE licensing app is actually an excellent structure for realizing World Univ & Sch further, and with a Calif BPPE smart reader - Dianne A - and the App is doable ... it's also a pretty big licensing 'writing' project ... not like a daily blog post which has an end each day (but also not as big as writing 'Naked Harbin Ethnography') ... and I'm hoping to turn the beginnings of this app into a blog post today even ...
Claiming the NSF award will be part of this CA BPPE license writing process ... potentially beneficially for graduate student instructors, as well as accreditation and salary-wise too ...
BPPE as further envisioning of WUaS in writing ... Am balking a bit, so seeking to make some headway today (with its forms/ database) with this approach, in lieu of 'wrangling' it ...
Glad to have met Stanford's / Sun Microsystem's Andy Bechtelsheim (who also studied at CMU in late '70s, and Munich's TUM's Manfred Broy, - both are from Bavaria, and Prof Broy lives in / teaches in Garching at TUM (in a related field to my course) where I lived with the Quaker family the Kruegers in 81-82. and Richard Socher with a Stanford PhD in CS is a lead at the impressive Salesforce (and also from Germany) and amazing.... They all are really smart and loosely in my field re IT and online WUaS. The Stanford class / 'mini-Summit' was on European software ... This Stanford event - https://events.stanford.edu/
What are you up to today and this week?

Well, an additional approach to a big writing project such as California's BPPE licensing application is to take things one step at a time, break things to do down into component parts, "the journey of a thousand leagues begins with a step" (to paraphrase Lao Tzu - https://terebess.hu/english/
So here's another first step to the writing the BPPE licensing application - https://scott-macleod.
WUaS already had a Mission, so am beginning by re-formulating this, and adding objectives ...

Mission:
World University and School's mission is free education, courses, and degrees in all known languages. World University and School (http://worlduniversityandschool.org - like Wikipedia with best CC OpenCourseWare) seeks also to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning through open, editable wikis. WUaS plans to accredit at the university and high school levels to offer online degrees and diplomas in all countries' main languages. WUaS’s wiki will involve open and editable teaching and learning but also non-editable courses prepared under a Creative Commons’ license. WUaS will facilitate the use of free CC courses as credits toward degrees. Due to the rapid spread of broadband worldwide, WUaS plans to make this accessible to underserved parts of the world and to poor people everywhere. WUaS will explore the possibility of using universal translators to extend the project automatically to any language with time.
Welcome to World University and School, a global, virtual, open, free-to-students, university and school, - with best STEM-centric OpenCourseWare, Creative Commons' licensed, degrees planned e.g. bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D., & Music School, as well as I.B. diplomas - and which engages great universities', such as Yale, MIT, other Ivy League Schools, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Oxford, T.U.M., Sorbonne, L.M.U., Juilliard Music School, Cambridge, Collège de France, Cal Tech, B.T.U., University of Chicago, etc., free, online, CC, content. WUaS is like Wikipedia with best STEM-centric OpenCourseWare, and is especially for the developing world, and for everyone. WUaS is planning to be in all 7,106+ languages and 242+ countries; Wikipedia, by way of comparison, is in 285 languages. Add your course or class here now, and take any course or class you want. World University and School will be in all languages and subjects, focusing, to begin with, on the countries that One Laptop Per Child is also engaging - e.g. Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, USA (Birmingham, Alabama), Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, & Papua New Guinea +.
We need your help. Please support the World University and School Foundation by donating today.
The planned World University and School Foundation, will be a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to the development, growth, and distribution of free, teaching and learning content, and to making available the full content of this wiki-based (to start) university and school to the developing world, and everyone, free of charge.
We're seeking to build an endowment of U.S. $1.5 million (in 2009 dollars) in the next 10 years.
