Just went down the rest of the comments and I see a fellow Quebecer! Have a look at Curikki and there are many lessons that are QEP compatible – and I am hoping we will see a lot more over the next few months!

I like the reading diary one too - isn't there an opensource library management system that could perhaps be the behind the scenes database?

Good post...

Thanks for nice comments on Storybook Earth
We thought it had legs too – will keep looking for other possible grant opportunities…

I had the last idea for 2 years and I abandonned because currently teachers aren't looking foward to use the web to find stuff to teach. At least, in Québec, Canada. The curriculum of the school classes is pre-fabricated, and it cannot be changed. Well, that's what all my friends who are teachers say.

It might be a nice idea for alternative schools, tough.

As for the google earth story teller, it's really a great idea! Plus there is so many ways you can enable search queries – like finding stories related to the place you are telling something – and the app can learn what may interest you as you read stories and write content. The portfolio idea is nice too.

The last idea is being developed in the website: www.mentorbuddy.com It's still in Beta and there are some bugs that need to be resolved. I have joined the site but until there's a substantial amount of teachers using it, it won't be of much use.

I like your ideas a lot but particularly love the idea of StoryBook Earth, story telling is exactly that – the telling of stories and 'live' stories from around the world would be very exciting as well as very informative about the differing lives of others! Hope it happens one day and sorry it got rejected for a grant!

I love Shelfari, the layout and the way it works. What is the stumbling block to having a kids edition?

the last suggestion.... although it would save time searching for things in different places, one of the things I like about having to do that is the things you accidently come across in your search, finding out what people are doing in different countries etc. Even if there were such a central place, there would still be people around the world putting their own teaching ideas online and I would still want to search for them.
Your first idea reminded me of http://www.googleltitrips.com
