Introduction

[Masami Kikuchi]

Hello, Colleagues, Collaborators, and Partners in USA:

My name is Masami Kikuchi, a grassroot, self-employed live content developer
and producer of contents for distance education and intercultural communication
with entertainment contexts, using ISDN-based videoconferencing systems,
stationed in Chiba, Japan.

My projects and network extend not only communities in Japan but those in the
USA, and Europe, for collaboration for the programme development of distance
education opportunities; major programme at present is one with BECON, Broward
County Education Communications Network, FL.
And, on occasion of the support from Lucent Foundation, our projects will
enhance our network to reach beyond the existing ones, our techology to share
with more schoolchildren, students and citizens over the globe.
To find your network of mailing list, I would like to share the resources,
including my network of artists and entertainers, and technology of live video
communications with the kids and families of your network, particularly in your
summer school programmes and/or afterschool ones, if technological and
telecommunications environment should allow at your ends.

After studying my projects at my website and other related sites, if you are
interested and enthusiastic, which I believe you will, please give me a reply
for further commitiments in the near-future collaboration and enthusiasm, at:

http://onlineworkshop.net/ (or if not accessible, vist: http://208.56.196.240/)

Archives of my projects, though a little bit too technical, will let you know
how you are seen and heard in videoconferencing:
