There was a few days project in zürich called
"hallo rohstoff" (hello
commodity). Every class participating did example edits on wikiversity ,
and visited a public library to connect wikipedia with its references.
Erkan and his colleagues of wikiversity were very welcoming btw.

In addition to the OER4Schools/ORBIT projects (sent off list but available
at
http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/) the edutech wiki
might also be of
interest Graeme

I also occasionally see research on pedagogic value of using Wikis
although I'd need to hunt that out :-)

Don't worry Floor, we are well aware of Graeme here and really value his
contribution!
It would still be interesting to see what other chapters could suggest to
him. I mostly know of this list (scroll down for Schools):

Dear Graeme,
I'm happy to hear that you are interested in introducing Wiki work into
schools in Scotland. I work at WMF in San Francisco on the Wikipedia
Education Program, which is related to what you are doing. The programs we
support are usually set up a little different than what you appear to be
looking at. We encourage secondary schools and universities to have their
students learn how to use and edit Wikipedia in the classroom. So instead
of just another paper to write that only the teacher will read, students in
class will learn how to update a Wikipedia article.
If this is something you'd be interested in, I would love to tell you
more about the work that is done in this field around the world. Also, it
might be useful for you to talk to Toni Sant, who is working on education
stuff with Wikimedia UK. You can reach him at toni.sant(a)wikimedia.org.uk
.
There are several countries where the Ministry of Education is involved
in introducing Wikipedia in the classroom. If you would like some more
examples of that, please let me know and I can put you in touch with people
in different countries who might have some inspiring stories for you.
Best of luck with your ideas, and please let me know if you have any
further questions.

Dear All
I've been asked by a civil servant at the Scottish Government to look
into the ways that mediawiki literacy could be incorporated into Scottish
secondary school work (12-18 years of age). This might be something like
installing MediaWiki on the schools' national intranet, or doing something
with Wikiversity or simply using Wikipedia within a particular project.
When I discussed the project with the civil servant it was clear that the
aim was not simply to provide MediaWiki skills training for students and
teachers, but to make possible collaborative inter- and intra-school work,
as well as raising and developing the digital citizenship of school
teachers and students. That is really as far as I've got.
One problem is that I don't actually work in schools. So I thought that a
good place to start was this list, and to ask for help in identifying
examples of any Wikimedia project work that either you've been involved in
at school level, or that you know about. It would be great to get links to
the actual work (if it's publicly available on Wikipedia for example), but
it would also be good to get links to reflective blog posts on successes,
failures, things to avoid etc. I can then collate and map these for
further discussion with the government.
I'm just at the start of the conversation, but I'll keep the list updated
on any progress.
With thanks in advance and best regards,
Graeme.
