This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

| 227,500.00 | 3 | -- | Technology, Journalism | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/4580 | -- | Grant period: 06/01/2009 - 08/31/2010; goal: To empower students to create their own web-games that focus on First Amendment, News Literacy and Journalism topics The World Wide Workshop Foundation is a global, nonprofit educational organization. Its mission is to harness the potential of computers and the internet to enhance technological fluency for creative learning. Under the leadership of Dr. Idit Harel Caperton they developed Globaloria in 2006 as a network for learning social-issue web-based game design that empowers youth with digital literacies and web 2.0 skills so they can actively participate in 21st century life. The opportunity is to experiment with an educational model that is relevant to today’s generation of students, allowing them to analyze, design and build their own web-based games to “learn by doing.” This project also provides innovative opportunities for civic engagement and participation among technologically-underserved and economically-underprivileged students in rural West Virginia. This grant will support Pilot Year 3 of Globaloria. At least 45 students will use the new “News and Information” platform during the 2009-2010 academic year to create 20 games that reflect and reinforce their connection to First Amendment, News Literacy and Journalism related topics. It is expected that the success of this approach will encourage more and more […]. |
