Remembering...we are each second to none. (c)
Calling All Teachers is a place for teachers, and those who support teachers, to gather and share ideas. Let's see if we can come up with some collaborative projects.
Matching Teachers
If you are willing to be matched with a teacher to exchange ideas and brainstorm projects, put your EVOKE name, what you teach or your areas of interest, and your country here:
- Ninmah (Rachel Smith - former teacher) - United States
- Rick van der Pluijm (Peer Coach -> student helping students) - Netherlands
- Patricio Buenrostro-Gilhuys (Animation Major Coordinator) - Mexico
- Gilda Lorena Arias ( Budget Administration Teacher) - Paraguay
- [1] (erica roberts - 7th and 8th grade Computer Teacher) - Chicago Suburbs, IL, USA
- happyseaurchin (david pinto - off/on teacher) - united kingdom
- Willy Druyts - no teacher, but infrequent conference speaker ( see LinkedIn profile ) - Belgium
- Joseph Nadler - English and Legal Studies Teacher - Australia
- Paul Allison - English, The East-West School of International Studies, Flushing, Queens, USA
Project Ideas
Brainstorming goes here -- just write in your project idea. If you are interested in being involved in someone's project, add your name next to it.
- Collaborating with teachers in different areas to bring an EVOKE-like experience into the classroom (no computers required): Ninmah William Purves
- If we create a paper about social innovation and care about the natural resources, and share it with all of us students the impact could be global.
- Using a simple, yet profound, nutritional protocol, I would enjoy traveling to sites where individuals can learn to interpret the patterns visible on their tongues, in order that they may understand which foods will enhance their own uinque human experience. Also, this protocol is designed to be accessible using computer tools of web cameras, and Voice Over Internet Provider (VOIP) services, therefore allowing reach to the most rural who can be provided with internet access. A kind of 'barefoot doctor' program. I am delight to be able to collaborate, educate, and inspire. Be In Good Health.
- Host an unconference in the classroom (idea courtesy of Agent Mita Williams)

- Project Virtual Evoke - Create an Evoke learning space in Second Life so people from all over the virtual world can interact and learn about Evoke.
Hello people, I like to organize a team to create an Evoke space in Second life for students of all ages to use.
If you like to be par tof this project, please put your name next to this project and contact me via my evoke profile page - Kevin DiVico.
I like to stick to the following time table - Week One brainstorm what should be in the space.
Week Two - Let loose the Coders and Artists to create the space.
The build should be simple, elegent and informative about Evoke and what it is trying to acomplish.
The reason for the quick time table is that th game runs a finite length of time - May its over.
If you have skills in Coding in Second Life, 3-D assets creation, creating virtual spaces, or teaching within the Second Life Platform please add your name to this list.
I'll contact the people at Evoke and Linden Labs on this - If anyone has contact with Pathfinder Linden please speak up and help in getting knowledge of this project to him.
With a little bit of help, we can get this done.
- Project GameChanger - Creating a board or card game with a open source online component (not necessary for game play) that can teach children and parents how to combat issues of food security, climate change, social justice, collaboration and tolerance based on there specific geographical location. The game should be written in the local language and should have a open source component allowing people to tweak the game mechanics online thereby allowing for constant innovation. Game pieces could be downloaded and printed out as changes occur. If your interested in making this work please let me know – Kevin DiVico
