Dear Wikimedia & Education Community,
How is everyone doing? Have you or anyone in your community supported online learning recently? What activities have you found most engaging? What has been most challenging?
We've updated the Comms tool-kit https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/COVID-19_response/Comms_toolkit with new #EduWiki challenges and lesson plans that you can share, translate, remix, etc!
We'd like to give some *Wikilove https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiLove* to *Wikimedia Mexico https://twitter.com/Wikimedia_mx/status/1253042270233784325* and *Mohammed Galib Hasan* in Bangladesh https://twitter.com/GalibAbir/status/1254052105985409024, for translating and sharing their own #EduWiki https://twitter.com/search?q=%23EduWiki&src=typed_query&f=live challenges. Last week we focused on translating and contextualizing the #EduWiki challenges, and found that our non-English posts were getting a lot more views/engagements than our English posts, and we think that's pretty exciting. A personal thank you to Sailesh, Melissa, Vasanthi, Priyal, Meng, Brahim, and Soukaina for working hard on the translations!
Last week, Vasanthi and Imelda (one of our Reading Wikipedia https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/About/Education_Team/Reading_Wikipedia_in_the_Classroom Coordinators in the Philippines) also supported CarloJoseph14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carlojoseph14?rdfrom=commons:User:Carlojoseph14, a Wikimedian and educator in the Philippines, to host a webinar for teachers and school administrators with more than 100 participants.
Do you need support for a webinar, or another Wikimedia in education activity? Did you know that the Education Team offers a limited number of 1:1 consultations https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/About/consultations every month? Besides that, we also host monthly office hours https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/About/Office_Hourswhere you can ask the Education Team any questions you have, and also learn from other Wikimedians in our community. The Wikimedia & Education UG https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/About_us also hosts a monthly meeting where you can engage with others in the community and hear guest speakers talk on various subjects. There's a lot of ways to stay connected. Please let us know of other ideas that you have :)
stay well,
Nichole
