Hi
I made a video, in Spanish, about how to lick your hands. It is free, I
leave it here. regards Fernando

Thanks, Nichole, for reaching out about how Wikimedia might engage our
community and support learners, educators, and movement volunteers
impacted
by school closures because of COVID19.
Replying on-list with my responses to your questions, so that there's an
on-wiki record at Wikimedia Space. I also submitted my answers via the
Google Form.
Where are you located?
Sonoma, California, USA
Are you a member of a Wikimedia affiliate? Please list them below.
Former Staff, Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia Education Program Manager
How are your community's education activities impacted by the Covid-19
pandemic?
Schools are closed county-wide from preschool through university.
What ideas do you have for how our Wikimedia community can support those
impacted by school closures?
Sharing best practices and how-to tutorials for hosting web-based video
instruction, live streaming like Google Hangouts, chat platforms like
IRC,
collaboration platforms like Wikimedia Space,
threaded mailing lists,
newsletters, blogs, and virtual office hours. Providing a repository of
and
links to resources, case studies, and online
training. Explaining the
data
dashboard and its value in demonstrating the
impact of distance
learning.
Being a welcoming and inclusive and positive
source of ideas and
inspiration during dark and uncertain times. Basically, just continue
doing
what the Wikimedia Education Program has always
done. Thanks, Nichole.
Are you already doing something to support those impacted by school
closures? Tell us about it! Share links if possible!
I expect to be furloughed because of the recent school closures and the
likely indefinite suspension of site-based instruction in California. I
want to be of service and I’m ready to wash my hands and get right to
work!
Please tell me how I may volunteer.
My best to you and your team and to our entire community worldwide.
Take care and be well.
Sincerely,
Anna Koval
