Dear professors,
I would like to invite you all to make a short video using your own computer saying why you have joined the Wikipedia Education Program and the benefits you have found for your students.
During my last presentations to professors around Brazil, I've started to show these two short videos, one of professor Juliana Bastos in a TV news, and the other of professor Pablo Ortellado I made with my mobile:

I can always see the positive reactions on the other professors faces. I don't believe it needs to be too professional, just say with your heart. I remember the first time I publish one video of professor Juliana on my facebook, 5 professors came talk to me. I think that would be a good way to persuade other professors on all the important issues involved in building an free encyclopedia.
Best,
Tom
