by Vojtěch Dostál 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hello everyone, rector of Charles University, His Magnificence Vaclav Hampl, gave his official support to Czech education program "Students Write Wikipedia" (Studenti píší Wikipedii). We hope that this will improve the recognition of our project but also of whole Wikimedia movement in the academic environment. Professor Hampl thanked to all cooperating teachers and to members of Wikimedia Czech Republic and stated: "The mission of whole academia - students included - is to care for the education of the whole society. Wikipedia is one of the ways to fulfill this mission." Charles University is the largest university in the Czech Republic. Founded in 1348, it is also the oldest university in Central Europe. The text of rectors's statement is here: http://iforum.cuni.cz/IFORUM-14608.html for more information try Google Translate :-)) cheers Vojtech Dostal, Wikimedia Czech Rep. http://studenti.wikimedia.cz ************************ Vojtěch Dostál Mail vojtech.dostal(a)centrum.cz <vojtech.dostal(a)centrum.cz>

Wikimini, the Children's Encyclopedia has reached 10 000 articles (word cloud inside)
by Laurent Jauquier 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Hi All, I'm pleased to let you know that Wikimini in French (http://fr.wikimini.org) has reached 10 000 articles. For those who don't know our project, Wikimini is a free encyclopedia written by children and young teenagers, both at school and at home. It currently exists in French and the site is based on Mediawiki (same software used by Wikipedia). Word cloud: On this very special occasion, our aspiring encyclopedists were asked to choose 3 words that would best describe the project in their eyes. A word cloud was built using the words we had received and their frequency. I wanted to share it with you, so I translated it in English: ==> http://stock.wikimini.org/w/images/7/7c/EN-Wikimini_in_75_words.png I hope you'll find it interesting and inspiring.

Re: [Wikimedia Education] Oficina do dia 15, Re: Autorização do detentor de direitos autorais da DIREITO GV para a Wikipedia
by Everton Zanella Alvarenga 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Caros, como estão? Aqui quem fala é o Tom, coordenador do projeto da Wiikimedia Foundation Wikipédia na Universidade <http://educacao.wikimedia.org>. A oficina do dia 15 é para a parceria que estamos fazendo com a faculdade de administração e não será usado para resolver esse problema específico relatado pelo Francisco. A Wikimedia Foundation é uma organização sem fins lucrativos que apoia os projetos Wikimedia, como a Wikipédia, e faço parte do Programa Catalisador no Brasil dessa organização com sede em San Francisco. Achei bastante legal o interesse de vocês em melhorar as páginas relacionadas da FGV, mas o nosso foco é o programa de educação - vejam aqui alguns exemplos<http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficheiro:Como_os_professores_est%C3%A3o_ensina…> de professores usando a Wikipédia em sala de aula. Podemos, no entanto, envolver as outras pessoas da FGV que estão fazendo essa parceria conosco e com a comunidade de voluntários que estão participando do projeto. É importante salientar que todos projetos Wikimedia são essencialmente mantidos por voluntários. Vocês poderiam me ligar amanhã algum horário na parte da tarde? Meu celular é (11) 99 242 53 48.

Open Education 2030 Vision Papers: Booklet online
by Mina Theofilatou 30 May '13

30 May '13

Members of list, please find info below... thanks:-) Dear Christine, In response to your invitation to disseminate our visions, I am CCing my reply to the Wikimedia Education list, to which I am subscribed, and I look forward to hearing about the findings of the Seville workshop that was completed yesterday. (As regards the comments link on the blog page, it's a good thing that it was cleaned from spam, but it's still "dead". Is there any chance of it becoming active again? I'm quite certain fellow Europeans on the Wikipedia Education List will be interested in participating in the dialogue, but for the time being we have no way of doing so!) To members of the list: Open Education is an EU initiative described as (copy-paste) "A joint space for developing visions on the future of Open Education in Europe" http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/openeducation2030/ I participated in the call for vision papers with the submission "The Open Community in the School of Today" (direct link here, or look at p. 110 of PDF booklet), in which Wikimedia plays an active role. I learned about the Call for Papers in a message forwarded to the list by Everton Zanella Alvarenga (thanks Tom!) Looking forward to feedback:-) Regards, Mina (Saintfevrier) ----- Original Message ----- From: Christine.REDECKER(a)ec.europa.eu Cc: Jonatan.CASTANO-MUNOZ(a)ec.europa.eu Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 12:19 PM Subject: Vision Papers: Booklet online Dear authors, I am pleased to inform you that the booklet with vision papers on Open School Education is now online as well. I posted the links on the first page of the blog to give your papers more visibility (http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/openeducation2030/).

Conclusion of Brede Værk project
by Ole Palnatoke Andersen 22 May '13

22 May '13

Today, we concluded the Brede Værk project* that has run for the last three weeks on the Danish-language Wikipedia. Students from Ørestad Gymnasium** and Det frie Gymnasium*** have been writing articles about the industrialisation in Denmark, based on materials from Brede Værk****, which is part of the National Museum*****. The project first appeared on our radar in July 2010, so things do not always move as fast as we would love them to. The students were assigned sandboxes to allow them to create their own articles with minimal interference. Three of the articles have now been "promoted" to the main namespace, while two others need to be merged into pre-existing articles, one needs a general improvement, and one needs to be merged with an article that a group of students created when they tried to avoid damaging another group's work. The three-week process has been frustrating (generally in a good way), but apparently the fear of changing someone else's text is something we need to work on. We plan to have more collaboration with the gymnasiums and the museum in the autumn. *) http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Brede_V%C3%A6rk **) http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98restad_Gymnasium ***) http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Det_frie_Gymnasium ****) http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brede_V%C3%A6rk *****) http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalmuseet Regards, Ole -- http://palnatoke.org * @palnatoke * +4522934588
