Teaching with Wikipedia: the Why, What, and How

by Jami Mathewson

Dr. Adrianne Wadewitz has written a great blog post[1] about some of the gaps on Wikipedia and why students should edit to learn about how knowledge is constructed. She also highlights ideas about how to use Wikipedia in the classroom. Great post, Adrianne!

One sentence on Wikipedia

by Martin Poulter

Here in the UK, Digital Literacy is a term the education sector is very excited about, so I've written a blog post on how Wikipedia editing relates to that topic. It's already had some favourable feedback and retweets. http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2014/02/one-sentence-on-wikipedia-a-microcosm-… The "one sentence" idea was inspired by Peter Gallert's talk at the Wikimania education workshop, so thanks Peter. -- Dr Martin L Poulter Jisc Wikimedia Ambassador, July 2013 - March 2014 Wikipedia contributor http://enwp.org/User:MartinPoulter Volunteer, Wikimedia UK http://wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MartinPoulter<http://uk.wikimedia.org/> Musician http://soundcloud.com/martin-poulter http://myspace.com/comapilot Person http://infobomb.org/

New Online Training: Starting an Education Program

by LiAnna Davis

Hi all! For the last few months, I've been working on an online training that covers the basics of starting an education program. I'm pleased to say it's finally live, thanks to the great wiki coding skills of Sage Ross. * For those interested in starting a program, I'd *LOVE* for you to go through the training. It will walk you through actually creating an on-wiki program plan and offer advice based on the most common questions I've heard from skype calls with people starting programs over the last three years. But I may have missed things -- if there are still questions you have, I'd love to hear what they are! If there are confusing places, I'd love to hear where those are, too. If there's things that were specifically useful, I'd also love to hear that. * For those experienced program leaders, I'd love any feedback or suggestions of things you've learned that aren't already incorporated in the content of the training. Here's the link to starting the training: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Starting_an_education_program And here's all the content of the training on one page, which might be easier to edit: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Starting_an_education_program… I'd love feedback on list or on the talk page of the second link (the edit view one). Thanks! LiAnna -- LiAnna Davis Wikipedia Education Program Wikimedia Foundation http://education.wikimedia.org +1-(415) 839-6885 x6649
