School Collaboration with China schools

[Wong Leo]

Dear all WE

 

I am currently helping with a school in China , Suzhou , called GEM ( GEM is an education management group developing business, management, software & technology education in China and Southeast Asia)

We are also developing programs with other countries as well ,

For example we bring French students now to China every year

view more http://gem-group.com/colleges-frameset3.htm 

 

For k1-12 we have developed a Elephant conservation program which involved students from US China German and Iran to participate , so far we have done this creative program in 39 schools in China and other countries as well .

 

You can know more abt the campus here at http://gem-group.com/campus-frameset3.htm 

 

For wikieducator , I am still thinking abt how we can use this platform to start to create the curriclum and teaching material among teachers and students , welcome any feedback on this are

 

Is there any best practices model in WE already ?

 

Also , if you are working in a Non-China envoirment , who wish to expand your teacher and staff horizon by coming to China

Feel free to contact me

 

Leo

Leo,
Very interesting news and information to learn; Hope to be able to assist. I am also interested in the possibility for the involvement of the Training profession. Here, in the United States, we have professionally trained trainers (the professional organization is the American Association for
Training and Development). Trainers are training in a college program. Just trying to be helpful.
Thanks,
Gene

Hi Leo,

Some time ago I did a curriculum development exercise on Wikiversity
which uses the same platform as WikiEducator (MediaWiki).

In addition to the wiki we used a mailing list and held some face to
face workshops.

We came up with a "curriculum framework".
Each separate institution would then make their own specific
curriculum potentially using some of the learning resources.

In the end we did not have any institutions using and contributing to
the learning resources.
The key is to involve people with a real need to collaborate and share
on supported projects on an agreed platform (such as WikiEducator).

Anyway, the approach is interesting (portal with Educator Resources,
Guidelines for Editors and How to Get Involved).
Feel free to use and adapt the ideas:

Social Entrepreneurship Portal:
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Social_entrepreneurship/Curriculum

Hope that helps

Kim

@ John , I think if we could bring some of interenational students here to China we might be able to bring you on board to teach your course here in China

 

so I am more interested to know more abt your curriculum design and other materils , it is the best if we could some open platform like wikieducator etc

 

For other ideas , Do you think if Thai students are interested in coming to Mailand China where I am http://gem-group.com to study for 1 or 2 semster to get the degree regonition or some of Chinese immersion program or some tailor made programs .

 

You can send me off list emails too

Leo,

I not sure how much I can help, but next semester (beginning in November) I am teaching a course to Business Chinese students here in Thailand. The course (Eastern Civilization) is taught in English, but almost all the students are Thai. So if there is any way we can to help give me a shout.

Regards,

John

@ Anirban , @ all

 

the same situation here ,

We are very interested in curriculum development at the level of face of face or based on wikiedcator etc ,

 

We are also interested in more of academic exchange programs like short term study here in China or bring more of students to China to bring more Chinese students overseas .

 

You can see French student program here as example http://gem-group.com/gemPrograms/programs-frameset3.htm 

 

we are expanding this year , so we would really welcome more of international students coming to China to study and bring more students out too .

I am so appreciative of your kind response. I am going to work on your requests and ideas. I am forwarding it to the University I am affiliated with, Roosevelt Univeersity in Chicago, Illinois, United States to see ways they can also be of help. I will write back in a day or so or you can email me again.

Greetings Mr. Wong --

I noticed your emphasis on Elephant conservation which I agree is a
good unifying program.

I have sketched an advertising campaign for what we might call the
Global U (global university) with saving elephants a theme.[1] Global
U is a metaphor for this planet we share. Spaceship Earth is another
such metaphor. I think if we imagine ourselves sharing a giant
spherical university campus, as students and faculty, we might work
together better, while improving the curriculum.

Elephants represent memory, wisdom... I'm sure many traditions in
China have well-developed symbolism. In the Hindu tradition, we have
Ganesh.[2]

When I search on "elephants" in Wikieducator I find those essays by
young people in Israel. They were apparently assigned the task of
creating Wiki pages and reviewed a story of how elephants seemed to
know in advance about the tsunami in Southeast / South Asia in 2004.
The autobiographical content is also interesting.

Pulling together lore (stories, both true and fictional) about
elephants from many cultures, exploring elephant imagery in different
civilizations, could well serve to anchor an excellent curriculum for
business managers who also see themselves as diplomats and world-aware
problem solvers (as "global university students" in other words).

In the world of cyber-skills, using geographic information systems to
identify ecosystems where elephants still thrive (there are not many)
will help build skills and awareness.

Thank you for your work,

Hey Kirby , I am very much moved and interested in carrying on the conversation abt elephants with you

 

 an excellent curriculum for
business managers who also see themselves as diplomats and world-aware
problem solvers (as "global university students" in other words).

Here's a blog post with information about assistive technology for the
elderly.

It was projected for a province in Canada however the project leader
giving the talk did not end up managing what he was sketching.

I'm guessing this design is still on the drawing boards, still a
little ahead of its time, but maybe some communities are already
implementing it?

Basic idea: passive (non-intrusive) home monitoring, raising "call
me" flags with supervisory staff in the case of software-detected
exceptions.

Great Idea. Unemployed home-makers (women at home) could do it. I should be able to arrange a few volunteers for the project.
