A page on outreach for each country's educational activities
by Sophie Osterberg 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi all lovely people! Just to let you know (and please do edit if something is missing or is incorrect) there are pages for each country which can be found here; https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education_Portal/Projects_and_Programs I know some of you have been editing and adding already, thank you for that! The two main reasons for having these pages are; * For all of us to quickly see what is going on in education around the world * For you to hopefully be inspired by what others are taking on in education And of course, to feel great pride of all the work that is currently being done! *Be Bold! Sophie Österberg sosterberg(a)wikimedia.org* *Every single contribution to Wikipedia is a gift of free knowledge to humanity. *

Re: [Wikimedia Education] Working with pupils 12-14 years old
by Laurent Jauquier 26 Sep '13

Hi everyone, On the French Wikimini (http://wikimini.org), about 10 to 15% of the articles are being written in the context of such small class/school projects (pupils in the age of 8-15). Some of them even took place in North Africa (French speaking parts). If this teacher speaks French, he may find some useful information at http://fr.wikimini.org/wiki/Aide:Enseignants. Otherwise, I'm currently in touch with a teacher form Morocco that would be interested in launching an Arabic version of the project. I could connect them if desired. On Wikipedia in French, there is also a dedicated page, which mentions some interesting projects (usually for older students): http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Projets_p%C3%A9dagogiques. I don't know if a similar page exists on Wikipedia in Arabic.

Working with pupils 12-14 years old
by Sophie Osterberg 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi all! There is a teacher in Algeria who's interested to work with pupils, a group of 20 of them, in the age of 12-14 on Wikipedia. He'd like to talk to someone who has done this as to learn from that experience. Is there someone on this list who has such experience? Thank you in advance for taking time! *Be Bold!

Google Trends for existing Wikikids
by Mathias Damour 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

Hi, I've just posted this on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikikids#Google_Trends_for_existing_Wi… , which show the Wikikids and Vikidia progression, at least in Google search data: ******************* For your information on popularity of the two existing Wikikids that achieve to be active and get a quite large audience http://fr.vikidia.org and http://wikikids.nl/ , you may have a look at these /Google Trends/ that compare their popularity trends in their main language area to 4 Wikimedia projects (excluding Wikipedia): * Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikiversity, Wikisource and Wikikids in the Netherlands <http://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=wikibooks%2C%20wikiquote%2C%20wiktio…>; * Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikiversity, Wikisource and Vikidia in France <http://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=wikibooks%2C%20wikiquote%2C%20wiktio…>. You can try with wikinews, wikivoyage, wikitravel, commons: Commons has just been slightly overtaken by Vikidia in France (depending on the period of the year), the other are well below in both languages. So what do you think is the next project to invest on ? ;-) Astirmays <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Astirmays> (talk <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Astirmays>) 20:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC) ******************* The other pages on the project proposal are there: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikikids -- Mathias Damour 49 rue Carnot F-74000 Annecy 00 33 (0)4 57 09 10 56 00 33 (0)6 27 13 65 51 mathias.damour(a)laposte.net http://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Astirmays

Central technical wishlist for education matters
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hello everyone, do we have a bugzilla tracking bug, wiki page or other central technical wishlist for things which would help education partnerships/activities? For instance, I have no idea how to tag this bug for future discoverability by someone interested in the topic. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10384 Nemo

Op-ed from Jami Mathewson
by LiAnna Davis 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Thought you all would be interested in this op-ed from Jami Mathewson, who's been running the US and Canada program for the last two years. While we often focus on the impact to Wikipedia our education programs have, Jami provides a good reminder that the program also has a real impact on student learning, too. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/09/10/student-learning-op-ed/ Enjoy!
