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
series on the Wikimedia Education Program. You can now watch all 12
episodes on Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_in_
Education_12-part_video_series>
, Youtube
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84
fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>
and
Vimeo <https://vimeo.com/wmfoundation>.
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
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Program_
Toolkits/Education>
and the many brochures
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Brochures> for
educators.
*What is this video series about?*
*Chapter 1: Introduction and Why do you teach Wikipedia?
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxCjD5Yu308&index=1&list=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
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=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
How did these educators and Wikipedia education
leaders get started?
Starting from light copyediting, to translating, realizing information
of
interest was missing… and creating new articles!
*Chapter 3: The five pillars of Wikipedia
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncZmv-UO_3U&index=3&list=
PLVx9pX-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.
*Chapter 4: Assignments
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFq2s180ny0&index=4&list=
PLVx9pX-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
tool. … and the importance of explaining what plagiarism is, as well as
the
value of using good references.
*Chapter 5: Brochures and tutorials
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhQ8ndlO6mY&index=5&list=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
Need a little help? Downloading a few brochures
can go a long way into
learning in more detail how to use Wikipedia as an edtech tool. Follow
the
link and :

*Chapter 6: The key to a successful education program
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh57hTM-54k&index=6&list=
PLVx9pX-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
the program progressively.
*Chapter 7: Social media & connectivity
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh57hTM-54k&index=6&list=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
Social media is an ally to connect with other
education initiatives,
other
educators, and helpful volunteers that can answer
questions regarding
the
use of the internet.
*Chapter 8: Work with the Wikipedia community
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhwcWIUL8_U&index=8&list=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
A fact to take in consideration: connecting with
the community of
volunteer
that edit the Wikipedia in your language increases the probability of
success of your education project!
*Chapter 9: Motivating students
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1J2FcDdSeM&index=9&list=
PLVx9pX-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
fuel their interest even more.
*Chapter 10: Language and translation
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADxGmKeLqDM&index=10&list=
PLVx9pX-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.
*Chapter 11: When to hire an employee
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGUSMl7DD38&index=11&list=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
How do you scale an education program that spans
over many classrooms
and
even many institutions?
*Chapter 12: Success and learning from failure
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH11w0IGz8E&index=12&list=
PLVx9pX-VnGViiRftTk84fvO9XTVQ_oZ9w>*
Success or failure? It’s all learning! This
applies at the student
level,
but also to the educators’ tasks, and to education program leaders.
*How can you get involved?*
We count on you to help us spread the word about this series and to use
the
videos in your outreach efforts, for training and any other use you can
give them! Let us know how you like them, and feel free to translate
captions as well.
Thank you to all program leaders who took part in this video production,
sharing what you have learned during all this time running your
education
program. A special thank you to Floor Koudijs,
who sparked the first
efforts for the series to be and set the wheels in motion for this
series
to happen.
Have a great week!
Best,
María
