Excellent idea Andrew, while there are many high quality education programmes that now exist in our space, they do seem to be aimed predominately at universities and "traditional" academia. Entire fields of "blue collar" knowledge are being left out. Good to see I'm not the only one that's spotted that gap!
Cheers, Craig

I've proposed a talk on vocational education, deliberately designed to be a bit different to some of the other likely talks on this subject so that we can get some new ideas going. It's obviously dependent on whether I can get to Wikimania or not, but if I don't, I'll write it up and upload it somewhere anyway :)
kindest regards Andrew

Are you going to Wikimania this year? I'm excited to see so many education-related sessions proposed so far! I've started a list of education-related submissions on this page:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Education_Program/Wikimania_201...
But I'm sure the list is missing some -- please add submissions you see! And please click through and add yourself to the interested attendees list for the sessions you think sound interesting.
I'm also trying to coordinate some kind of education meet-up while we're there. There's also a list on that page of people who are hoping to or planning to attend Wikimania; please add yourself and add any ideas you have about the best things we could do as a group there.
