Hi, LiAnna. I understood now, no problem. Even so with my misinterpretation, I think it was interesting to send to all professors, let me know if they will answer. Since we need to create a program self-sustainable, I do believe we have to find professors who canI also have a leadership role in expanding the program, like Juliana Bastos (one example we know).
I have noticed other professors from our expansion in the second phase of the pilot here in Brazil that could also do this, and the idea of this meeting just made me think we should think on ways on how to estimulate professors willing to perform this role in a national or regional level. For instace, after the open call in Brazil and having discovered the work of professor Yuri <http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/12/14/professor-yuri-leite-brazil/>, from the same state of other two professors, I believe on the importance of forming this local network of professors so that they can even develop their own solutions and ideas on how to expand the program and help themselves in the local level. :) Tom On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 10:49 PM, LiAnna Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tom, > > The idea behind this is that it is not necessarily for *professors* but for > *program organizers* -- in other words, 1-2 people per country, people like > you. :) I think generally professors have a lot to offer in the discussion > of things like "what kinds of content students can add" or "should we work > in sandboxes?", but we are looking for this to be a higher-level discussion > of things like "How can we be better about documenting what we've learned in > Egypt so that program leaders in other countries can follow what we've > done?" > > I should have made this distinction clearer, sorry. > > LiAnna -- Everton Zanella Alvarenga (also Tom) "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." _______________________________________________ Education mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education
