Hi, Princess! How are you?
Glad to read your message. I was just thinking about something like a
virtual student club for my course. Almost all teachers mention
Wikipedia (sometimes like a reference) but they don't use it as a
learning tool. I wrote a post in
http://castelowiki.wordpress.com/ on
that experience at James Madison University, and some of them became
interested in talk a little bit more, but I was not be able to find such
an experience in distance learning.
Aditionally, I was in a congress in São Paulo last month about Social
Media in Education, they talked a lot about using Wikipedia (and also
Facebook, Wordpress, Twitter, YouTube, SlideShare) in classroom or in
making educational resources. I was thinking about talk to my teachers
about that.
Do you know any initiative like this in e-learning? Do you think it
could work?
Regards,
CB

Hello!
If you are a student and want to become more involved with Wikimedia, be
a leader and organizer on your university campus, and interact with a
global network of like-minded students, starting a STUDENT CLUB could be
a great opportunity for you!
As many of you know, Wikipedia focused university outreach is begin to
take more and more active forms.[1] I was hoping that you would all be
the first to begin the conversations about how students clubs can
effectively become part of the larger Wikimedia movement.[2]
I would love to schedule a time on IRC for us to get together and
brainstorm ways to move forward with the student movement of
Wikip/media. Specific agenda items, time, and channel can be found on
the talk page:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_student_clubs.
Please spread the word! All are welcome – specifically current
university& college students :)
Jessie
