Anna,
I want to help out and offer to have a video call with you, but I'm leaving
for vacation for the next 1.5 weeks. If you'd like to set something up for
the first week of May, I'm happy to meet with you! Otherwise, here's the
documentation on Meta[1] that may help you set it up.

Hello!
Hope you all are doing well. It was so great to meet many of you in person
in Berlin. I was hoping some of you would share your takeaways on education
for the April Issue of "This Month in Education." If you are willing to
share, could you send me the following by email to nsaad(a)wikimedia.org:
A Tagline
Your name
Your highlight (a few sentences to a paragraph max)
You can also put it directly into the article in the newsroom (where you
can also see an example):

Reach out if you have any questions!
best,
Nichole

I've been working with Wiki Education for the last nine months researching
student learning outcomes using Wikipedia based assignments. We have a ton
of amazing data that we'll be posting about shortly and releasing under an
open license (as well as a summary of some preliminary findings).
I've written a grant proposal for WMF to continue this research as we've
really only touched the tip of the iceberg here. Please check it out and if
you're interested I'd love your feedback (and your support).

Hello education community!
I'm happy (and relieved) to announce that the new issue of This Month in
Education <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News> is out.
There are some great stories to read, as well as a featured article about
challenges written by Liang. Don't forget to submit your stories for the
next issue by 20 April! Late submissions will go in the next month's issue.
Wish you a great week, and for those at WikiCon, enjoy the last day of the
conference!
best,
Nichole

I imagine that this subject will be of interest and concern to educators,
including those who teach in the Wikipedia in Education Program. Here is a
thought-provoking newspaper column about a University of Washington
professor's troubling findings: http://www.seattletimes.com/
seattle-news/politics/uw-professor-the-information-war-
is-real-and-were-losing-it/
Quoting briefly from the article:
"Starbird is publishing her paper as a sort of warning. The information
networks we’ve built are almost perfectly designed to exploit psychological
vulnerabilities to rumor."
"Your brain tells you ‘Hey, I got this from three different sources,’ ” she
says. “But you don’t realize it all traces back to the same place, and
might have even reached you via bots posing as real people. If we think of
this as a virus, I wouldn’t know how to vaccinate for it.”
