Pacific Crest: Cello Instruction in the MUSIC School, Free Degrees, iPhone App Programming Course, Great Libraries

MUSIC SCHOOL

I added a new CELLO section - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Cello - to World University & School's budding MUSIC SCHOOL, - with Benjamin Zander instructing a 15 year cellist, Nikolai - http://www.poptech.org/popcasts/popcasts.aspx?lang=&viewcastid=211 ... THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE :)

There's a lot of both inspirational and excellent musical instrument teaching on the internet. Let's add it to WUaS.

Here's a letter I just sent to the two World University & School groups:

Universitians,

Greetings!

FREE DEGREES

I've added a free Harvard Doctor of Education (for the 25 people in the program) beginning in 2010 - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses. (Application deadline is in about 3 months).


COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

I've also added a free 18 week Stanford Univ. course on how to program an iPhone application - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses.


LIBRARIES

I also added the Library of Congress digital library to World University & School - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources.

In addition, I added DASH - Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard !


MISSION

WUaS now has a Mission Statement - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Foundation.

Mission: World University & School's (like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware) - mission is to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning opportunities (and potentially degrees, eventually) through an open, editable wiki in all languages, nation-states and subjects with great universities, and for One Laptop per Child countries and everyone.


EDUCATIONAL FREEWARE

And the free educational software section continues to grow - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Educational_Software.


Wikipedia benefits from all of us acting as writers & editors; it now has around 13 million articles in 70 languages.

LET'S ADD TEACHING AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES TO World University & School.


All the best,
Scott
