This is a case where we found community college equivalents who will find
teachers for us to work, where we will have set dates to go into their
classrooms and work with students to assist them in learning about
Wikipedia/wikiNews in a way that will help the instructor meet course
learning objectives. We wouldn't go there with out that commitment. :)
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Outreach_Oceania has some of the details.
As we've gotten the commitment from three schools, hence the next step of
trying to design materials. If people had designed learning resources for
in classroom training, I'd love to take advantage of them , as opposed to
having to create materials from scratch. (And then possibly try to get them
translated into Japanese at the very least. Local languages have very few
speakers so attempting to find one to translate in advance would be
difficult.)
