Our group wants to develop a replicable Community Sandbox - an asynchronous demand driven town hall.

1.  Designed for participation.   Technically have binary inputs that increase participation from the usual 1 creator, 9 commenters and 90 lurkers to where only 70-80% lurk 2. Explicit, multiple points of entry.  Meet people where they are in the real world (Rotary, church, grocery) or virtual ( Facebook, school sites) 3.  Access to power - explicitly invite school boards, supts, principals, etc) 4.  Rapid feedback loop 5.  Dynamic encyclopedia of issues 6.  Connections to other systems and world 7.  Mapping- assets, relationships, data, constituency 8.  Virtual and real world positive cycle - allow anonymous submission of critical issues such as bullying 9.  Highlight awesomeness - in all media 10. Reforming the job of the journalist - hyper connected , using transparent reporter's notebook, updating local encyclopedia (wiki) 11.  Individualized customizable information - classroom curriculum or school issue for example, and how compare to others

We will specifically focus on transforming our schools to promote lifelong learning for efficacy in this developing hyper connected global economy, starting with specific items such as bullying or standards based advancement.
