 * Hey Kevin.


 * Basically, we have undertaken a bold project to "flatten" global education. Our pilot is math and science, but we will extend in very possible area. There is a component that we will need in place and it might interest you. Here's the deal, we want to use Educational audio and video footage (BBC, Discovery, NPR, PPS etc... ) in a play-learn application called K12 Online. I envision establishing something called something the EDUIT Media Archive that would work in a similar fashion as google's library project instead it would catalogue video. We are also building an open source editor called a wikitube that will allow anyone to basically bookmark chunks of feed that then can be turned into short learning pieces that then ties into our play-learn system: K12 online (did I loose you?). We have our K12 Online folks in place -- fablevsion.com and MITs Education Arcade.


 * Anyway, I looking for the strategic partner that will be in place for the Archive aspect and couldn't think of anyone better than tvworldwide. Was I wrong?


 * You are probably wondering what do I want. Well, right now nothing except knowing you all are on board. We will be propositioning NSF for "significant" funding. We would probably need help putting the proposal together. Think about it, people being able to access ALL (most) educational programming ever developed! and using that programming to build modular educational pieces that will fit in a free online game.


 * So are you interested? And if so... who can I nominate to be on our board of trustees?


 * Sincerely,


 * Michael
