Re: [Languages] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] "Wikipedia in the classroom" in Guarani language

Some news. ---------- Message transféré ---------- De : "Osmar Valdebenito" <osmar(a)wikimediachile.cl> Date : 16 déc. 2012 21:05 Objet : [Wikimedia-l] "Wikipedia in the classroom" in Guarani language À : "Wikimedia Mailing List" <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> This week, Wikimedia Argentina published the first edition of "Vikipetã mbo'eha kotýpe" [1], "Wikipedia in the classroom" in Guarani, an indigenous language spoken in Northern Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. It is the first Wikipedia related publication made in an American indigenous language. The goal of “Wikipedia in the classroom”, made originally in Spanish, is to help teachers to understand what is Wikipedia, how it works and how they can use it in an useful way. Most students already use Wikipedia so it is really important that teachers know what to do. “Wikipedia in the classroom” is an initiative launched in 2010 by Wikimedia Argentina with the support of different institutions, including the Education portal of the Argentine government, educ.ar. They released an special website about the project.[2] Wikimedia Argentina will print 500 booklets of the Guarani edition to be distributed in schools and other educational institutions, and we expect to publish new editions in other indigenous languages in 2013.
