Well I have been very busy… and as a result I have a new project underway. Over the last little while I have been busy working to establish a small group of individuals in order to create an online publication / newsletter dedicated to sharing learning around the globe.
I have been very fortunate in being able to get this off the ground and currently there is a wonderful group of us individuals working on the first edition. We live in the USA, New Zealand, Canada and Australia.
We have decided to call this publication ‘GLIMPSE – which stands for ‘Global Learners In Many Places Sharing Experiences’
This newsletter (which is fast turning into something more like a magazine type product) will have a theme each month that participants can join in by sending in articles related to the theme of the month. Each new issue will outline the theme for the following month. Articles will be written by individuals from a personal perspective and the hope is to showcase our children’s learning with other like minded home educators. However to be involved, people only have to have a love of learning, they do not have to specifically home educate, just be open and friendly to the idea.
There will be no advertising, no political content and no religious content either.
The first editions theme is ‘Introducing your family…’ and the deadline for articles for consideration is Monday the 26th of July 2010. The first edition will be available in PDF format and either sent in email or made available for download from this website. Anyone who is interested in learning more or joining in, please email info@golab.info for further details.
It is important to know that if you chose to join in, you acknowledge that the newsletter / publication will be created as a PDF file and will be emailed or downloaded from a website (if size too big) to other families around the world who say they are homeschooling. You must understand that anyone can potentially have access to any of the information you provide for inclusion into the newsletter. Therefore it is very important NOT to add any personal or real identifying details to your articles, etc. unless you want others anywhere in the world to know that information about you. Even keeping this in mind, we are sure we can all create a wonderful resource for us to learn and share from each other with!
We hope some of you may find this opportunity worth while. If you feel this may be of interest to others please direct them to this website rather than posting the info else where ! Thanks!
