Organizing teacher resources globally

A teaching wiki would contain all material for all programs on the planet stored in a relational system where every paragraph (every sentence?) is stored as a record (posting?) that can be filtered or sorted on demand to produce documents specific to immediate local needs or conditions.

The source documents may be private or public but would still form part of your view of this wiki.

1. multiple program guidelines and objectives local/regional/national
   (for example: TAP by MELS or just a lesson plan list of things to teach a group today)
2. multiple course outlines
3. multiple lesson plans
4. content
5. links
6. background reading
7. excercises or summary exercises
8. pre-tests
9. exams

Paragraph Tagging
Every paragraph of every item in the wiki must be tagged by topic by paragraph by level with versionning (special needs, elementary, junior high, senior high, college, university, graduate) (yes, every paragraph must be written at least 6 times, in every supported language) with prerequisites list (to allow for default sorting if no program guideline is used), estimated duration (for lesson plan creation), fun, usability rating by users.

but allow for the following filters and sorts. Simply selecting or creating a list of objectives and setting the various levels would generate all required documents for a course, on demand.

Ultimately, students could adhere to any given program guidelines and the material would appear as they traverse it.

Potential tools are blogs with labels and posting with keywords. Google docs?

Since most of these texts already exist. I'm thinking ASP crosstab search engine that creates lists from lists, displaying the first entry found matching the keys required by each item in an etidable list of searches. Eg: a site that takes an ordered list of words and keywords and finds matching items for every line then presents it in various formats. Something like the one I made for country information but expanded.

We would need a tool or game to mark existing text and a high level (eg: drag and drop) tool to create document layouts.
