Wonderful work you are doing

I am working with a client that has a filtered educational web library portal with over 15,000 free educational web sites. We are looking at launching it in Africa Schools and US Rescue Missions. Kindercare has launched this for the students and student families at home for home learning. They are at www.bascom.com

We would love to talk with some key people in the home schooling industry or bloogers in the industry. To see how this might work for them. The neat thing I love about it is that free web content from around the world gets integrated into a simple lesson building system. This means that as people like yourself travel you could take a your tube video and blend it with a quick lesson on "African food for children" and then every home school educator could use it. This is not like an LMS. But true colloboation between home school educators.

Any guidance on people we could talk to would be wonderful

If you like, I can forward your contact information to my son's teacher here in CT. He is in kindergarten but his teacher can send it along to more appropriate teachers. Are you thinking 4th grade?
