[Education] Wikipedia and Education: Wikimania in Haifa

[Frank Schulenburg]

Hi All,

Wikipedia and Education seems to be one of the trending topics. There's a lot of excitement when it comes to using Wikipedia in the classroom and I know that quite a few Wikimedia chapters and academic institutions are thinking about getting more active in this area.

The Wikimania conference is a great opportunity for looking back to what has been achieved in the past and for planning the future. That's why I thought is might be a good idea to direct your attention to the education related submissions for this year's conference in Haifa, Israel.

Below you'll find a list of the existing education related submissions -- maybe some of the subscribers on this list have some more ideas for proposals.

Also: I would be interested in meeting those of you who are planning to go to Haifa and who are interested in Wikipedia and Education. How about if we have an informal get-together during Wikimania?
