In addition, the best travel in addition to medical insurance plan can often relieve those issues that come with visiting abroad. Any medical emergency can soon become expensive and that's absolute to quickly set a financial load on the family's finances. Setting up in place the great travel insurance package deal prior to leaving is well worth the time and effort. Thanks a lot Thank you sharing these types of wonderful posts.

The projects does seem more open than the ManyOne / Digital Universe efforts, and most of my energy in the follow up post is directed at them. However, I was unable to get registered to contribute to Curriki, and no response ever came from tech support there. You are correct that my faith in collaborative work is not common in K-12 or Higher Ed at this time. The vendor solutions that are being sold in the name of "Web 2.0" to these institutions are really poor imitations of the connectedness required for real collaboration. I'm sure there is going to be a place at the table for the full spectrum of Open <=> Proprietary solutions for content. I am most interested in seeing how the field of battle is defined, and how the coming struggle of ownership and validation of knowlege is played out. Thanks for the comments, John Regards, John Rob,

There is something to this, though I think there are two other driving factors: many schools and districts simply want to buy solutions AND the "wisdom of crowds" approach does not fit into the traditional educational system control paradigm. To allow your consumers to be your co-developers, you need to trust and respect one another and then the school/district needs to be willing to cede some control and actually teach users how to participate in a positive fashion. Simply giving people new tools does not work; they need to be explicitly taught how to use those new tools and shown how they will benefit from their use.
