Full Steam Ahead for Beautiful Nation
The Beautiful Nation Project is running full steam ahead this week, kicking off our Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign,
in order to produce our pilot webisode. This will be the most
effective geography course in the world, with your help! Beautiful
Nation tracks the Voyage of Makulu. I
am incredibly serious about doing something positive for the world and
although I do not currently have children of my own, many of you (whom I
love and respect) do. For over a year, I have been working remotely
with my colleagues on Beautiful Nation Project in order to create a more
meaningful experience for your kids in terms of their #education in
#geography. This is why #imontheboat.
The boat is Makulu. Makulu
is a 43 foot Nautor Swan Ketch Sailboat/ floating classroom which has
been the primary vessel and venue, chartered by Reach the World since
1998, bringing the world to the classroom through traveling mentors.
With our partners RTW and Agastya International Foundation , the journey
is charted and planned for 2014. Back on land, I will be playing the
role of Lighthouse Keeper and Social Network Manager within the virtual
tour/social network which represents the boat, categorizing the content
into multidimensional education tools and micro-courses in geography.
This network is for anyone who would like to learn more about places
they may never visit. The conversations about those places will teach
the leaders of tomorrow to respect the environment, appreciate diversity
and engage others as global citizens.

More on Ning Development
Over the past couple of months, I have been simultaneously building new networks for both Beautiful Nation Project and Land Surveyors United.
I'll have some pretty awesome new stuff to share over the holiday.
Please take a moment and share this incredible project with any
educators you may know.
