Calling educators, education policymakers, instructional technologists, students, librarians, and anyone interested in the intersections between Wikimedia projects and education: You're invited to join the Wikimania Education Pre-Conference https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programme/Education_Pre_Conference, which will take place on July 15 and 16 of 2015 in the Hilton Hotel Reforma, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Education Pre-conference is an event held prior to Wikimania, the largest annual gathering in the wiki world. It provides a space to share experiences, take part in workshops and learn about tools and resources to start using Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects as a pedagogical tool in an academic setting.
We would love to hear from you about how Wikipedia can contribute to education. Whether you are a beginner to the Wikimedia world or whether you already use Wikipedia in the classroom, we would love to have you participate.
Attendance is free, but you need to register here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mHOlkVL97TV0CLRlS0Zl9xawwYwTZr_xQUcsGa_hvR4/viewform?c=0&w=1 because space is limited.
We hope to see you all in Mexico!
