Knowville
What:
Knowville is a world-wide initiative challenging the children and teens to:
- Read a billion books
- Write a billion books
- Do a billion projects
- Classroom teachers
- Elementary, Middle, and Secondary Schools
- School Librarians
- Public Librarians
- Professional Organizations such as Library-Related Organizations, Reading Organizations, Literacy Organizations
- Educational and Civic Organizations
- Governments such as Ministries of Education
- Home schoolers and Home School Organizations
The increasing need for world-class education to enable each child and teen to work and live in a global society requires more than just directives and testing. A critical factor is the motivation of children and teens to understand that they are preparing for a world-wide challenge, and that to be all they can be, education and literacy is a life-long endeavor. Knowville provides a space akin to the world of gaming where participants can build personal goals, issue challenges, and participate in a global effort to raise literacy and learning.
