Welcome to the Wikipedia Education Update — a newsletter from the Wikimedia Foundation
that is distributed the first and third Tuesday of each month. Someone from our staff has
talked with you about our Wikipedia Education Program to bring Wikipedia into higher
education classrooms around the world, and we wanted to keep you in the loop on all of our
exciting activities. If you would prefer not to receive these messages, simply reply to

Trophy Case highlights excellent student work
Professors and Ambassadors who worked with students in the United States and Canada
program in 2012 have added a series of links to the new Trophy Case, which highlights the
best student work. The Trophy Case includes categories for articles that were featured on
the English Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section, those that have
achieved Good Article status, high quality new articles, significantly expanded existing
articles, and non-textual contributions. See the Trophy Case, and add other student work
you see to it.

Worldwide resources page created on outreach wiki
A centralized repository of information for participants in the Wikipedia Education
Program worldwide has been created on the outreach wiki's education portal. Broken
down into information by target audience, such as instructors and students, the page
contains links to brochures, handouts, and videos available in multiple languages.
Handouts created specifically for Wikipedia Education Program participants in any language
are welcome. See the page.

Professor blogs about experiences with Wikipedia
Gilly Leshed, a professor at Cornell University, has written a post for the Wikimedia
Foundation blog on her experiences participating in the United States Education Program.
Her students study online communities, she writes, and what better way to make them
understand such a community than to ask them to join one? Her students wrote articles on
Wikipedia, and through the process learned about what it means to participate in an active
online community like Wikipedia. Read her blog post to learn more about their
experiences.
