I met with David Jasmin of LAMS/LAMAP, a pedagogical organization based in France aimed at improving learning and teaching in French schools, on Sunday. We ended up talking for a few hours; and found a good deal in common. He has been trying to make collaborative online authoring projects succeed, in French and other languages, since the 1990s. He feels that these days there are good zero-barrier-to-entry projects and that the older structured projects may find some new life. See the article for more.
Google Literacy Project is organizing something cool for the Day of the Book. Our Speak activity and related literacy projects have been nominated as one of the projects to feature; we should find out the details and what is entailed soon (next week?).
