Hi everyone,
After nearly 3 years at the Wikimedia Foundation, I am moving on to new
opportunities [1]. My last day at WMF will be Friday, 22 February. This has
been a very difficult decision. The work that all of us engage in on a
daily basis in the Wikipedia Education Program has been so incredibly
inspiring, and I know I will miss you all. You are such an amazing and
brilliant group of people, and I feel enormously fortunate to have had the
opportunity to work closely with so many of you.
I plan on staying in touch with many of you, and I hope you'll do the same.
My personal email address is a12lin(a)gmail.com; I can also be reached via
Facebook (feel free to contact me anytime, about anything). And, you'll
likely still see me lurking around Wikipedia Education Program -related
activities as a volunteer, and I'll still be more than happy to help out in
the ways that I can with the development of Wikipedia education programs
worldwide, so don't hesitate to reach out to me anytime!
For more formal WMF-related things that you used to send to me, please send
them to my colleague LiAnna Davis after 22 February — ldavis(a)wikimedia.org.
Take care, everyone. Thank you all, so very much.
Annie

Hi,
I take this subject to let a message about Wikikids/Vikidia (further
down in this message)

That sounds interesting and varied, we should have a closer look at it.
However, haven't you feel that using Wikipedia, a quite sophisticated
approach on each article, can be a limit for its use for younger pupils ?

Hi, in France we have an equivalent : Wikipédia en classe
<http://www.wikimedia.fr/sites/default/files/userfiles/Wikip%C3%A9dia%20en%2…>,
it mention Vikidia, and advice it for pupils up to 15 years old.
Vikidia is an equivalent of Wikipedia for 8 to 13 years old children.
I've already sent a message about it more than a year ago.
It exists in French, Spanish and Italian (and is about to be launched in
Russian) whereas another group opened it in dutch :
http://fr.vikidia.org/ ; http://es.vikidia.org/ ; http://it.vikidia.org/
There has been a sister project proposal page for a long time on Meta :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids
...and I have update it.
fr.vikidia.org ans wikikids.nl are doing well, whereas es. and it. not
so well.
Vikidia in French is about 1 to 2 % of the importance of Wikipedia in
French for activity, number of article and audience, which is not bad.
I can tell you more about the spanish Vikidia, that has had good
supporter but deserve new people to join in or even an organisation to
take it in charge.
Wikitravel/Wikivoyage has recently be adopted as a sister project by the
WMF. This could be possible for Vikidia/wikikids.
I would help translate from French if needed different pages that
introduce to the project, such as
http://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Vikidia:Pour_les_enfants_ou_par_les_enfants_%3F
(by or for children ?)
and http://blog.wikimedia.fr/la-documentation-et-vikidia-1494 (the
documentation and Vikidia - which was already translated in Spanish)
What do you think about it and would you be interested in it ?

Hello all. Lianna has suggested to me that I joined to this list and now
here I am. I tell them that in Uruguay with CFE and CEIBAL support we are
developing a project on the subject Wikipedia in Education, I am directing
the project.
Here I pass more information:
The "Wikipedia in Education" is a project that began late last year, and
will be developed this year and next year. According to the results we may
be able to continue it after 2014. We have yet two videos uploaded to
youtube about the inaugural project activity. A lecture given by me and
another by Angeles Soletic, the first of which is Wikipedia and how it
works. The second is about the use of Wikipedia in Education. Both
conferences are in Spanish:
http://youtu.be/-GRm7TOOlt0http://youtu.be/PFe_22EMoKE
Both videos are free delivery and were released under Creative Commons 3.0
CC-BY-SA. I have not uploaded to Commons because each of the videos have a
weight greater than 100 MB.
On my website you can find more information and a link to the presentation
made by me on the project start date. The presentation is in. svg format
and is also free to use. Here I leave the link to the article:
http://www.fedaro.info/2012/12/24/wikipedia-en-la-educacion-lanzamiento-del…
Here I leave also a direct link to the presentation, made with JessyInk. To
see it you must use a browser that supports SVG as Firefox or Google
Chrome, it also may take a while to load. Then you must use the arrow keys
to move along the presentation.

At Tom's urging, I'm trying to be better about sharing the posts our
wonderful education leaders worldwide add to the WMF blog on this list. :)
I have just published a post from Lila Pagola of Argentina -- many thanks,
Lila!

Thanks to everyone who filled out the quick survey I sent earlier this
week. The good news is that it looks like there are enough people who are
already planning to attend the Chapters Meeting in Milan to make it
worthwhile to have the education workshop in conjunction with it.
The bad news is that after further research, it looks like there isn't any
money available from the Wikimedia Foundation for travel funding. :(
We realize this significantly limits the number of people who are able to
attend, but given the choice of a meeting with a small number of education
program leaders who were already coming to the chapters meeting and no
in-person meeting at all, we've chosen to move forward with the small
meeting. We're working on some videoconferencing solution to bring people
in virtually if that can be feasible, and we'll do our best to document the
discussions well. We'll also plan a larger meeting in conjunction with
Wikimania 2013 in Hong Kong, in hopes that more program leaders worldwide
will be able to attend that.
If you're interested in learning more about the education workshop, please
see this wiki page for more details:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Education_Program/Education_Pr…
If you are able to join us, either virtually or in person, please add your
name to that page.

It occurred to me that this announcement never made its way to the
education list -- so better late than never! Rod Dunican is back with the
Wikimedia Foundation as the global education program director, and he will
be working with Annie and me, taking over the strategic direction role in
light of Frank Schulenburg's promotion [1]. Please reach out to Rod at
rdunican at wikimedia dot org for items that you used to reach out Frank
about.

Hi All,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome Rod Dunican back to the Wikimedia
family. Many of you may know Rod as the Public Policy Initiative Project
Manager, a role in which he spearheaded the start of the Wikipedia
Education Program. Rod has agreed to join us again as the Global Education
Program Director, in charge of building systems that enable quality at
scale in different educational environments. Annie and LiAnna will report
to Rod, and Rod will report to me.
Aside from the obvious extensive background in the Wikipedia Education
Program, Rod brings experience in instructional design, project management,
and leadership to this role.
Welcome, Rod!

Hi all,
I would like to share this article by Ainissa Ramirez (going to see
her TED Talk later when I have time)
* We Need a New Kind of Learner
<http://bigthink.com/experts-corner/we-need-a-new-kind-of-learner>
This reminds me when I accepted to coordinate the education program in
Brazil and why I think Wikipedia can be useful in education. In
Brazil, I think the description of professor Feynman about our
classroom is still valid [1] in a large extent. Once I gave an
interview to a French radio about Wikipedia (in 2011, a few days
before Wikimania in Gdansk) and I just mentioned these points, that
Wikipedia could be used as a potential tool for students learn how to
make research and develop their critical thinking. On the curiosity
point, I think Aaron Swartz was a great example, and I think we can
see this on his article "How to get a job like mine"
<https://aaronsw.jottit.com/howtoget>.
Since we have here in this list professors from a lot of places in the
world, I would love to know if you see also problems like those
pointed out in [1] on schools. Culturally, it could be interesting for
us to share these experiences and stress the global nature of the
Wikipedia Education Program.
Best,
Tom

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing."
Are you running an Education Program in your country? Do you want to start
working with instructors and students to improve Wikipedia? Are you
interested in helping shape a global community of program leaders to grow
Wikipedia's use in education worldwide?
We are thinking about convening an Education Program Leaders Workshop,
where 20-30 program leaders worldwide will gather for one day to build a
global community to share learnings and help each other overcome
challenges. We're considering having this all-day workshop in conjunction
with the Chapters Meeting hosted by Wikimedia Italia on April 19-21 in
Milan, but before we finalize the details, we wanted to see if this would
be a convenient time with enough people to make it worthwhile.
If you are interested in meeting with other program leaders worldwide,
would you take 5 minutes to fill out a quick survey?
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1T-1KvPYJQwtRMauHk6Xypm733CUmB0wUi3NRZkkp3g…
We need responses within 24 hours if possible so we can confirm dates. More
information will be coming later this week.
Thanks so much for your quick reply!
