Jackie: English subtitles (and making their texts
available for
translations) would be a huge help!

Hi all,
Love the videos! They make me even more excited!
I am all about subtitles (disability & education advocate!). I
have to admit I was wondering about subtitles when I watched them
yesterday. I would be able to do the English subtitles if that
would be desired.
Thanks!

Congratulations @Giulio on being so quick with the
translations and publishing them immediately!
Does anyone have experience with subtitles? It might be
interesting to add subtitles to some of the videos for some
regions/languages.
Cheers,
Vahid.

Hi all,
after months of hard work, we are happy to share with
all a new video

episodes on Commons

With this series, we hope to engage new educators in
using Wikimedia
projects in the classroom, as well as promote
existing
resources to
support
education programs all over the world, like the
Education Program
Toolkit

for educators.

Meet Educators and Wikipedia education leaders
from
around the world who
share why they use Wikipedia in classrooms not
just as a
way to access
knowledge, but also a way to develop their
students’
capacities, digital
know-how and to share knowledge with the world.
Learn
how the process
turns
their students from consumers into knowledge producers,
leaving
behind
papers that only the teacher reads for articles
that the
whole world can
> access.
> *Chapter 2: What was your
first Wikipedia article?
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfymS0fjejU&index=2&list=PL
Vx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
How did these educators and Wikipedia education
leaders

realizing information of

pillars of Wikipedia
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncZmv-UO_3U&index=3&list=PL
Vx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
5 things you must know before you get started on
writing
on the Wikipedia.
From these 5 rules, the educators reflect on the
geopolitical implications
of knowledge production, good online behaviour,
and even
learning to
> express knowledge the best we can.

Vx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
How does using Wikipedia in the classroom work in
practice? Educators and
Wikipedia education program leaders share
different
experiences and ways
to
turn the open online encyclopedia into an educational,
active
learning

is, as well as

Need a little help? Downloading a few brochures

successful education program
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh57hTM-54k&index=6&list=PL
Vx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
Starting small and then growing the educational
program
seems to be the
key. If you are trying to start an education
program in
your region,
experiment with a single teacher, learn from that
experience, an then grow

& connectivity
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh57hTM-54k&index=6&list=PL

Social media is an ally to connect with other
education
initiatives, other
educators, and helpful volunteers that can answer
questions regarding the

Wikipedia community
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhwcWIUL8_U&index=8&list=PL

A fact to take in consideration: connecting with

Vx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
Motivating students to learn through editing
Wikipedia
is not very hard.
Here are a few experiences that highlight the
value of
using Wikipedia as
an educational tool, as well as a few tips on
specific
actions that will

translation
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADxGmKeLqDM&index=10&list=P
LVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
Wikipedia exists currently in 283 languages, and
“incubates” many more
encyclopedia in other languages. There’s a very
high
probability that
students can work in the language they’re fluent
in.
Translation can be
an
activity that will show them the ropes and increase
their language
skills,
on top of developing their knowledge of the
subject
matter.

Success or failure? It’s all learning! This
applies at

level,
but also to the educators’ tasks, and to education
program leaders.
