Greetings! With apologies for cross-posting, I am writing to share a recently adapted version of the "Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom" curriculum, which is a teacher training curriculum for secondary teachers to engage in Wikipedia literacy. Revised documents include the following:
* Teacher's Introductory Booklet: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_in_the_Classroom_-_Teacher%27s_Booklet_ISTE_Adapted_(English).pdf * Teacher's Guide Module 1: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_in_the_Classroom_-_Teacher%27s_Guide_Module_1_ISTE_Adapted_(English).pdf * Teacher's Guide Module 2: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_in_the_Classroom_-_Teacher%27s_Guide_Module_2_ISTE_Adapted_(English).pdf * Teacher's Guide Module 3: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_in_the_Classroom_-_Teacher%27s_Guide_Module_3_ISTE_Adapted_(English).pdf The rebranded "Wikipedia in the Classroom" documents are adapted from the "Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom" program to align with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards<https://iste.org/standards>. This adaptation connects the program with a recognized framework for technology integration in education. The revised program emphasizes the first three ISTE Standards: 1. Empowered Learner: Students set goals, use technology strategically, customize learning environments, seek feedback, and understand how technology works to achieve and demonstrate learning competency. 2. Digital Citizen: Students recognize the responsibilities and opportunities for contributing to their digital communities. 3. Knowledge Constructor: Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts, and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. The "Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom" program was originally developed by the Wikimedia Foundation Education team to enhance teachers' understanding of Wikipedia as a pedagogical tool. The adaptation to "Wikipedia in the Classroom" aims to connect the program with the ISTE framework for technology integration in education. The ISTE Standards for Students provide a roadmap for developing essential skills for 21st-century learners, including digital citizenship, creative thinking, and problem-solving in digital environments. The "Wikipedia in the Classroom" program emphasizes: Empowering learners to use Wikipedia as a learning tool; Evaluating information using Wikipedia's pillars and guidelines; Supporting students to make micro-contributions to Wikipedia. The revisions in the "Wikipedia in the Classroom" documents are designed to help teachers integrate Wikipedia into their teaching practices in a way that aligns with the ISTE standards, promoting digital citizenship and open knowledge construction.
