[Wikimedia Education] A list of education-focused talks at Wikimania 17

Hey Education fans! I've put together a list of education-focused events during Wikimania 17. I hope it helps! As you will see, the program has been arranged to facilitate following tracks, including an education track. It is fairly easy to follow said track by looking at the headers of the different columns in the program. Notice: Do check the program daily for rooms and times as they are subject to change. [1] Friday, August 11 This will be a big day for education. Make sure to rest as much as you can on thursday evening, and load up with enough caffeine for the day. :) On Friday morning, the education events will be happening in room “Drummond Center” (level 3) from 11:00 to 12:30. On Friday afternoon, we will move to Ballroom West (level 4), from 14:00 to 15:30. Then to Ballroom Center (level 4) from 16:00 to 17:00. - Speaking the Language of the Non-Wikipedians https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Speaking_the_Language_… - How to develop an education program from the scratch https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/How_to_develop_an_educ… - The Wikipedia Year of Science 2016: What worked, what didn't, and how you can pull off a large-scale content initiative https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Wikipedia_Year_of_… - The WikiMOOC, a new way to learn how to edit Wikipedia https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_WikiMOOC,_a_new_wa… - How to create a good school project on Wikipedia https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/How_to_create_a_good_s… - Sciences, histoire et projets Wiki, le mariage unique québécois https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Sciences,_histoire_et_… - Possible strategies of increasing involvement of scientists and academics in Wikimedia projects https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Possible_strategies_of… - Student Learning Outcomes using Wikipedia based assignments https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Student_Learning_Outco… Saturday, August 12 I can’t find an event that has a specific education focus.
