RBG Wake Up Call:
On The Shoulders of Those Before Us

Important Notes:
The term Wikizine is a conjunction of two words, online magazine and wiki. It is the the future of citizians journalism. RBGz Wikizines are a major content part of our school's curriculum. RBG has numerous learning environments in order to accomadate different levels of knowledge and compute skills and learning styles. These 4 Wikizines are one of the main environments. Here one learns fastest by reading and commenting on our articles / blogs aften browsing-reading the intro / front page.
Using the video, pictures and links table (drop down more above to access) resources in these zines will both enhance and make your experience more exciting and enjoyable.

RBG Street Scholars Think Tank is very intelligent and intuitive, so as you continue to play with it more will be revealed. It gets as smart as the person driving (from GED to PhD). Multi-Tab Learning is how one integrates the audio with their photo surveying and reading for rapid concentrated overstanding. The group blogs/articles in the portal are where the meat is. Presently, we have 20 websites comprising over 5,000 RLOs (Reusable Learning Objects) and media assets all concentricly integrated and linked to hundreds of robust Afrikan-centered websites. The portal pilot enable you to access and navigate everything seamlessly.

To get more out of RBG SSTT please keep these four things in mind:
1)The school has been designed to work best using the mozilla firefox browser. IE is nor optimal--so download and use firefox.

2)Links will always open in a new tab...this is how you superimpose your audio over your image surveying and reading for rapid concentrated overstanding / integration. (tools>options> check open new browser in new tab)

3) Everything is hot (images), but if you are just learning the school-- one link out and back to the primary asset. Otherwise you will get lost in the rabbit hold.

4) Videos and PhotoStory Mini-Lectures are only meant to introduce you to subjects, topics and lessons that textual assets delve deeper into.

Once you get deep enough into the school you will discover that it has been designed for us to create jobs for ourselves. In other words, the seeds of your individual and our collective economic liberation are builted into the curriculum. For what good is a so called education for Black folx in Amerikkka if it doesn't prep and provide for Afrikan self-relience. Such is a pre-requsite to self-determination, as the man who butters your bread feeds you stomach.

How We Provoke Thought, Discussion and Learning:
Please keep in mind that RBG is a Think Tank. A center of higher learning organized for intensive study, research and problem solving, focused in the areas of the use of technology in Afrikan-centered cultural development; and educational, social, political and economic strategy to secure power.
More frequently than not, we initiate our teaching / learning process by presenting audio and visual resources that pose semalies, parables, metaphors, analogies and oxymorons--that's what makes you think (we hope). Then we have lively and well informed group discussions revolving around the various messages put forth in the learning objects and media assets. Next we research the facts overlaying our discussions using the voluminous number of resources available in the communiversity's web portals and learning environments. Finally, each learner has the opportunity to fill our evaluation instruments on most of the 5,000+ RLOs (Reusable Learning Objects) and media assets that comprise the core curriculum. It is out of following this methodology that we devise position papers and community policy recommendations and initiatives... Learn More

RBG Street Scholars Think Tank is designed such that you can get anywhere from everywhere. This is to say, all three components (Radio, TV and College Proper)--each an independent learning environment in its own right--allows you to access the other components--

"right click and open in new window/tab to enlarge and read"

The college is horizontially, veritically and concentricly integrated as is the case with the Afrikan Conceptural Framework--so the school doesn't just teach Afrikan, it behaves and should be navigated Africentricly ("Let The Circle Not Be Broken"). So on one level it really dosn't make a difference where you start beause all 5,000 RLOs (re-usable learning objects) and media assets loop. Once you learn the school you should be able to get anywhere from anywhere in two clicks (whithout exception).
Also I use a teaching theory called Overlearning. Just like one more frequently than not "under-learns" a topic / subject by not appriciating all the relationships; presenting previous data along with new data solidifies relationial overstanding. So if you have seen or heard or read something in another context--please--don't skip over it in the new asset / application, if you want to catch on to the program quick and learn a lot in a short peroid.

A College Presented As A Collage:

The College Proper at blogger ( the most basic learning environment ) is not a blog in the traditional sense of the word as it is specificly sequenced in order to introduce those who are new to Afrikan-centered education. We are just using a blog interface / template secondary to its utility for fast updating and group comments, discussion and interchange with me as your primary tutor and facilitator.

The e-College component ( RBG Worldwide 1 Nation) is a formal online center of higher learning in every traditional sense of the word. This is RBG Street Scholars Think Tank's Premium Users e-Learning and Certifications Portal. We are presently offering 14 Advanced Learner Certificate Programs in Afrikan-centered Cultural Development and Leadership. These formally tutored and teacher facilitated programs will pull together the rich confluence of media assets and learning objects we presently provide in our level one/online version of the Communiversity; and takes the learner through the more advanced levels of our Re-Afrikanization curricula.

The closer you study the school the smarter it and you will become.

There is not one thing you will get from any other higher education digital learning program you can't get from RBG Street Scholars Think Tank--including:
>Study Guides and Strategies,
