... an ONLINE Robotics, Programming and ESL for kids learning opportunity all in one :)

Hi Ralph,

Thanks so much for your email just now. It looks like we emailed from about 11/28/2015 to 3/26/2016 and re our English speaking learning in group video Hangouts. How are you in Venezuela? The weather isn't too bad in winter in the SF Bay Area. World Univ & Sch has gotten our new wiki and here's the new ESL wiki page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language - which anybody can edit. (And here's the related https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language_for_Kids ).

I'm checking out the Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0 - https://education.lego.com/en-us/products/lego-education-wedo-2-0-core-set/45300 . It works with the Scratch drag and drop programming language - https://scratch.mit.edu/download - from MIT. (Both involve a couple of other pre-software installations).

I found We Do 2.0 Lego for Education on Harvard Prof. Karen Brennan's Twitter feed recently - https://twitter.com/karen_brennan .

and re a We Do 2.0 and Scratch Meetup in the city where I was born - https://twitter.com/TOTALTeacher/status/969993653568589824 .

We Do 2.0 is potentially usable in an actual-virtual way - https://twitter.com/SpeakkVisually/status/957331694452969472
and https://twitter.com/scratch/status/969333088575684609 - with Scratch programming of the Lego. Cool. I posted all of these tweets here recently - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch.

If you got a set of We Do 2.0 Lego Education Robots for your son (and if I get a set too), would you like to explore building Lego robots remotely and as ESL for Kids - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language_for_Kids - remotely?

This is an ONLINE Robotics, Programming and ESL for kids learning opportunity all in one :)

Let's see if we can make further the world a better place to live. (Organizing remote We Do 2.0 / Scratch Meetups in Spanish might be a further opportunity here, but people would need to get the We Do 2.0 Legos). Does your son already have access to some Lego?

Cheers,
Scott

Android Pay is now Google Pay
So, one thing Google loves doing is changing. They adapt their search engine algorithm all the time. But the branding they have around items has been horrendous when it comes to change. Google Talk, G+ Messenger, Hangouts, Hangouts Meet, Allo... what next...

Check out Markus Kroetzsch's video, pinned here to the top of Info @ World University and School .org 's G+ feed -
https://plus.google.com/u/2/+InfoWorldUniversityinEnglish/posts/c4QyjJ4dnRS (see email address above too).

I think he's one of the founders of the Semantic Web - http://korrekt.org/ - and is now one of the main structured knowledge database heads at Wikidata/Wikibase, which is Wikipedia's "back end" in 299 languages. His Semantic Web papers could be very helpful here- https://iccl.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Wissensbasierte_Systeme/en - and as a Professor of this in Dresden, his team is growing.

While World University and School is like Wikipedia in 299 languages plus CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages, we seek to develop in all 7,099 living languages, nation state by state - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each a major online university in the countries' language. The linguistic A.I. that emerges from this will be significant to your work, Mark, I think. We donated ourselves to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and are also in Google Education, and are very Google-ecosystem centric e.g. re TensorFlow and Google Translate (GNMT), conceptually.

What's your focus these days, Mark?
