Does anyone have any experience doing
Wikipedia/Wikinews outreach and
training in remote areas? What sort of materials did you use in the
classroom? How closely did you work with teachers in developing
classroom
related training?
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
A bit of trying without generating much interest. Due to the tiny
percentage of people who edit Wikipedia attempting to offer classes in a
small community will probably generate little interest. My understanding
is that meetups even in London or New York City draw considerably less
than 100 people.
However, if you can draw a crowd, or even a few people, perhaps to edit
articles about local communities and history, by all means, please go for
it.
