 * Misadventure 2011-12**

My wise wife is dead against my online misadventures as an online evangelist. She continually tells me to focus on work instead of trying to change recalcitrant academia in Kerala..

As a Network Weaver, I have connected schools in Kerala with members of Hello Little World Skypers, Global Classroom and WikiEducators. Last year, I was able to connect our Finance Minister with Michael Graffin to launch Learn English Online in Kerala. I trained stay at home mothers to give cookery lessons online. Mom and child teams connected with WikiEducators across the globe and demonstrated Indian cookery on Skype. They developed deeper friendships and invited friends to party in Kerala. media type="youtube" key="Ppe1wd4Ym1o" height="315" width="560" Press and visual media gave rave reviews to my Tourism Ambassadors. Empowered women now work online supporting the family budget working online.
