The Internet has a lot of potential to educate, rather than advertise and entertain. However, few people are educating others on a grassroots/community level. It would be interesting to link up with some colleges and universities (as hosts/sponsors) to design a program for folks all over the e-world.
To start there needs to be a team of okayactivists and other posters for:

1) Project management and team leadership
2) Software development, including access to software for constructing the learning environment
3) Instructional design/curriculum development (teachers and education specialists)
4) Technology integration (IT people)
5) Visual design
6) Multimedia development

I am willing to explore each level with folks if they want to do this. I can even take the idea to my colleagues at UMass Boston to see if they want to be a host/sponsor for the project.

Obviously, this is more than just tutoring or e-mentoring but I think it could start there and grow to include adults, i.e. youth workers and community leaders.

"Know thyself"

"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you". So we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
-- Hebrews 13:5,6

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"
