Pilot Projects Exchange

New pilot projects are starting all the globe, many people are interested in initiating, and there is a lot of information that wants to be exchanged. This page's focus is to provide a place for that exchange  :)

Pilots

I think it would be useful to start listing pilots, both past, present and future(I'll start):

• New York City - a project of Teaching Matters, KAPPA IV school and the NYC Department of Education
• Ethiopia - Concept v0.5 | Implementation v0.5
• Pilots around the world - All pilots described on this wiki, some of them also have their own website
• Pilots in Europe
• more...

Ideas

• Collecting, focussing and exchanging of information and documentation
• Setup of a basic information exchange infrastructure
• Cross-connecting between pilot projects
• Experience exchange
• Give help on "How to initiate a pilot"
  • How to initiate a pilot project
• Pilot project related IRC meeting
• ... (please add ideas here)

Working Group

A group of people starting to start work for these ideas might be the best way to get the basic organisation set up. The idea of this 'working group' is just emerging, and although the tasks for this wg are still unclear, it seems there certainly are things to do :) As often, volunteers are crucial for this process as well. To help getting started is for a limited timespan, and will make life easier for many people :)
