Wouldn't it be cool if one day education could be a global responsibility? If everyone in the world, with a computer and internet connection, could receive the same quality of education. Japan, could broadcast via internet, a class teaching Japanese (including proper pronunciation) and teachers can stay home. Concentrating on their quality of life, no longer having to travel to teach with a smaller reach. Teachers from Greece could teach History. Yes, there is a plethora of knowledge available to us on the universal "world wide web." But as of now the tools available to sort through it all is insufficient?
Imagine a curriculum set up by a teacher in England for a 5th grader (via internet classes) accessible to children in Africa?

Children on these chatrooms can talk about the same test they both took on Wednesday morning. Tutor children in lower grades who share the same teacher. In different labguages our children could have the potential to be worldly" In the past only available to the aristrocats & very wealthy. now
My theory is that if we can record & post live classes (strictly lecture) on the internet and make it available to everyone in the world, from all parts the world. Every country should have free access to an equal opportunity education.
There should be no excuse for any country to have a poor education system,
Teachers could work together to educate the world
The fact is that hackers can create websites saying whatever they want you to believe.
By viewing a live teacher/ proffesor the info is given to us rather than us having to dig through 1000's of websites, each containing 100's of webpages
there is credtibility not only has his reputation to verify what is being told
