Hi,
I take this subject to let a message about Wikikids/Vikidia (further
down in this message)

Had the chance to do it but things went pear shared. If I was
including it in the curriculum, I would look specifically at
curriculum standards and see how they can be specifically addressed in
ways that are non-disruptive to Wikimedia projects. Sample lesson
plans for how I would do this can be found at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Outreach_Oceania_Integrating_Wikimedia_into_the_Curriculum.pdf
.
That sounds interesting and varied, we should have a closer look at it.
However, haven't you feel that using Wikipedia, a quite sophisticated
approach on each article, can be a limit for its use for younger pupils ?

In Argentina we have an interesting resource:
http://wikipediaenelaula.educ.ar/ (in Spanish) It was developed by the
government, including our booklet "Wikipedia in the classroom"... and
they added some suggestions of activities using Wikipedia at school:
general approaches such as using articles for research, evaluation of
information sources, collaborative work, wiki-culture, etc.
Hi, in France we have an equivalent : Wikipédia en classe
<http://www.wikimedia.fr/sites/default/files/userfiles/Wikip%C3%A9dia%20en%20classe-Wikim%C3%A9dia%20France.pdf>,
it mention Vikidia, and advice it for pupils up to 15 years old.
Vikidia is an equivalent of Wikipedia for 8 to 13 years old children.
I've already sent a message about it more than a year ago.
It exists in French, Spanish and Italian (and is about to be launched in
Russian) whereas another group opened it in dutch :
http://fr.vikidia.org/ ; http://es.vikidia.org/ ; http://it.vikidia.org/
There has been a sister project proposal page for a long time on Meta :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids
...and I have update it.
fr.vikidia.org ans wikikids.nl are doing well, whereas es. and it. not
so well.
Vikidia in French is about 1 to 2 % of the importance of Wikipedia in
French for activity, number of article and audience, which is not bad.
I can tell you more about the spanish Vikidia, that has had good
supporter but deserve new people to join in or even an organisation to
take it in charge.
Wikitravel/Wikivoyage has recently be adopted as a sister project by the
WMF. This could be possible for Vikidia/wikikids.
I would help translate from French if needed different pages that
introduce to the project, such as
http://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Vikidia:Pour_les_enfants_ou_par_les_enfants_%3F
(by or for children ?)
and http://blog.wikimedia.fr/la-documentation-et-vikidia-1494 (the
documentation and Vikidia - which was already translated in Spanish)
What do you think about it and would you be interested in it ?
