** Hello, and Happy, creative New Year to all:)
As promised in a message to this list in December, I have now completed my report on the presentation I delivered along with three students in Athens on December 17, 2011 titled "The Open Community in the School of Today"http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing_workshops/Athens,_FEST11,_December_17,_2011#Dissemination_.E2.80.93_Follow-up .
Here's a quick overview for those of you who don't have time to check out the links (believe me, I know how it goes!):
*Background:* Our school is considered a "second opportunity" secondary school for adult learners in Kefaloniahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefalonia, Greece. We have been producing material for Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons since 2007. I have presented our work in Brussels (first prize in the Scientix poster competitionhttp://www.scientix.eu/web/guest/conference/competition) and Prague ("Wikipedia Startup Wizard" on Outreach)http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing_workshops/Prague_%28Czech_Republic%29,_Spice_Summer_Academy,_August_28,_2011. This was the first time I chose to have students co-presenting with me (also it was practically feasible, as this was our first Wikimedia presentation in Greece).
*Most important conclusion: *having the students present their own work is very rewarding for them: apart from giving them the opportunity to speak in front of an audience in a respected establishment, it has spurred the interest of other teachers and students in our school, and hopefully the "chain reaction" will lead to a buzz in Wikimedia contributions:)
Hope you find it useful!
