¡Buen día!

Disculpas si ya han visto este mensaje en otras listas de correo, pero no quería dejar de compartirlo por aquí. Desde el equipo de educación de la Fundación Wikimedia estamos lanzando un proyecto piloto para explorar cómo apoyar la habilidad de los docentes para usar Wikipedia en el aula, específicamente como una herramienta para la alfabetización informacional. Estamos buscando a tres afiliados para trabajar en este proyecto de manera conjunta. Más detalles abajo y para discusión en Wikimedia Space. Igualmente no duden en enviarme un mensaje si lo necesitan. ¡Gracias!

The Education Team at the Wikimedia Foundation is excited to announce a pilot aimed at exploring how we can deepen teachers’ ability to use Wikipedia in the classroom in different geographies and languages. We want to help teachers to use Wikipedia as a tool for information literacy in the classroom. The goal is to turn reading Wikipedia in the classroom from a “no-no” to an “oh-yes” by demonstrating how to critically evaluate Wikipedia articles, and how to incorporate this into local curricula.

We are looking for three affiliates to partner with us on this pilot.

Your Role:

You would agree to support the Education Team to secure partnerships within the school system, and support a local coordinator to carry out project activities to conclude by June 2020.

Our Role:

We will provide funding for a local community coordinator, on-site capacity building workshops for your affiliate staff, and ongoing project support.

We are asking for affiliate partners to meet these criteria:

Supporting a Wikipedia with at least 100,000+ articles (exception may be made if there are at least enough good quality articles to align with the school curricula)
Located in an emerging community
Capacity to host and support part time local community coordinator funded by the Wikimedia Foundation
Interest in Wikimedia Education work, and desire to build capacity around the development of educational materials, building partnerships in the school system, and teacher support
Willingness to collaborate on the design and dissemination of materials
Willingness to support data collection
Willingness to support the translation of materials

Please email nsaad@wikimedia.org to learn more or to indicate your interest in partnering.
