Description:
This online site at http://www.bfranklin.edu/gld98/media.html represents
the Global Learn Day Project, which in the second year. This is global
project, which tries to fulfill all the promises of Distance Education.
It is a return voyage to the new world of Distance Education.
This project is sponsored by Benjamin Franklin Institute of Global
Education. On October 10 and 11, 1998, we will host Global Learn Day II,
a worldwide Event (240 participating countries) with these Missions:
To firmly establish the second Sunday of October as a day to
celebratelearning in every corner of the globe; and To bring together, in
cyberspace, the leaders of distance education, training, conferencing,
Internet technology and public service for the purpose of extending
education to every corner of the globe; to improve its content by way of
the new technology tools; and to pave the way for substantial cost
reductions in its delivery.
GLDII will open in Guam, hosted by the Governor of Guam. Then, our
Clipper, the Franklin, shall sail westward with 70 minute stops in each of
these 21 "ports": New Zealand, Japan, China, India, Abu Dhabi, South
Africa, Egypt, Russia, France, England, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Canada,
Maine, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, California, finally "dropping anchor" in
Hawaii. At each Port there will be real time audio and real time video
presentations from and between each port, viewers around the world and
presentations speakers. Passengers can come aboard our Clipper, for free,
and need travel no further than their nearest ordinary computer with a 14.4
modem and a late version Explorer or Netscape browser.
It is not for nothing that Global Learn Day II is held on the landing
anniversary of the great Navigator, Columbus. It is not for nothing we
have on our print materials: "Out to do for education what Columbus did for
exploration". The Theme of GLD-II is: A Return Voyage to the New World of
Distance Education and All of Its Promise. We say it will be remembered as
much for the content of the presenters and the opportunities it will expose
as it will for the (leading edge) technology methods that enable it to be
webcast to every corner of the globe.
IF YOU WISH TO VOLUNTEER AS CREW ON THE CLIPPER:

language speakers who either now reside outside of North
