Exposure to the World
For over two years, I have been putting off blogging and even journaling for many personal and professional reasons. But today, I have come across a situation that rises so far beyond by personal and professional interests, that I feel I must create this blog despite its crude and imperfect qualities. The situation I refer to is the development of Wikiversity.

The purpose of this entry, is to encourage all of the students, teachers, and researchers in the field of education who happen to come across this page, to immediately begin to contribute your time and intellectual property to the development of Wikiversity. Your contributions will set a strong example for the rest of this project’s development, and generate exponential growth throughout the global community. Whether you post or improve curriculum, conduct or offer ideas for research, or simply participate in a discussion, your input will contribute to the Greater Good.

If that isn’t enough to convince you to edit or upload today, consider the fact that the Internet has magnified the potential effect that one small action can have. Life is short and unpredictable. Make your contribution now so that despite what happens tomorrow, you have at least publicized a product of your distinct experiences thus far, which in its own way will have immeasurably progressed our global society toward Utopia.
