[WikiEducator] Using UNV Online Volunteering
I think that Wayne is right to be concerned abut the UNV OV copyright page. To my mind, however, it refers to only things that are put on their site, and that would include our ads to recruit volunteers (They are fussy about how we word them). I tried to use their logo (a rather boring one however) on our Community Empowerment site, as a link to their site. I got an email from them saying I could not use it that way. What is of issue to us, I would think, is that the volunteers would run tutorials like our marvelous facilitators do, but for pupils. In no way would UNV copyright have any say on how that is done or what our content would be. Apart from the logo and ad issues, we never got any static from them in what volunteers recruited through them did for us. They also were quick to answer questions and provide guidance. We should also explore other sites, like idealist.org and Charity who have recruiting services that organizations like WE can use. As I recall, we have used a half dozen of those, but UNV OV has provided us with the most volunteers.

[WikiEducator] Using UNV Online Volunteering
I think that it is a good idea, for training students how to use WikiEducator. We have used UNV OV for several years, although our way of doing it is different from how WikiEd will need to do it. Important thing is that we have volunteer coordinators, who guide volunteers through their assignments, encourage them when they show signs of slipping away, and keeping track of who is doing what.

Re: [WikiEducator] Digest for wikieducator@googlegroups.com - 25 Messages in 3 Topics
I was not looking for or expecting such a lively debate on this discussion group when I posted my rant. I was trying to point out that we will touch on controversial topics and asking if we need some sort of a policy within our community. I was happy to see the debate here, but I fear that I was taken aback at a few of the statements such as You do not know what you are talking about. Above all else, I would prefer that we all treat each other with respect and also respect that we have differences and the right to express them.

[WikiEducator] Can Educators Learn?
John raised the question: But I have a question. And this is addressed not just to you, but to everyone. Why is it that educators -- the people whose job it is to teach students about new technology and concepts -- do not want to learn the technology themselves? I am not taking a position on use, or ease of use, of technology, I am just curious why this attitude exists. Thoughts? Cheers, John The old saying went: Them that can, do Them that can't, teach and them that can't teach, teach teachers I have been an educator al my life. In the widest sense of the word. When I turned forty, my magical ability to learn languages disappeared I have been steadily dropping in my learning abilities since I was three In the eighties my fellow social scientists thought I was some sort of a nerd (not a nice term then) because I was the only one of them with an apple two clone and modem and able to use the university computer from my home for grading, composing and so on. Now I find it hard to keep up with all these educators using wikis and other web .0 technology So I am now in my mid sixties, retired and disabled. Age might have something to do with it. Perhaps I should put this together into another rant. . . . . :-) Cheers, Phil If the coach does the pushups, The athlete will not get stronger Community Empowerment: www.scn.org/cmp/ WikiEducator http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Philbartle Join our discusssion forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Community_Strengthening --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

[WikiEducator] What is technology really providing the teacher?
As Ben said: Although technology can be a place where information is stored, I think it goes beyond that. At one level, a power law distribution is at play in that a small number of people control the majority of information (e.g., wikipedia). But more importantly, those of us along the right tale also exhibit a level of control when we form subgroups (i.e., social networking groups) and pursue common interests through the virtual interaction with others. I suggest that Wikipedia has a filter than hinders genuine idea innovation and creativity. They are so concerned with ensuring that wrong information is not presented, that they have set up controls which also delete genuinely new perspectives, new theories, and new approaches.

[WikiEducator] rant
Jan Visser said so many important things. One that I think is very important is that we can use the education as cultivation metaphor so long as we see the garden as the whole society, not a collection of individuals one at a time. I should have made that clear in my rant. Thanks, Jan. Meanwhile in my next rant I have been exploring the elements of altruism and charity which are important parts of the Community Empowerment methodology. Do they have relevance for what we are doing?

May I add my support to Gita's call for meaningful use of colour for fonts. Random and intrusive colours can be too noisy. I also support the use of meaningful background colours.

West African Pidgin English I will be back soon. becomes, I go come small. :-) Nellie, Microsoft introduced a Canadian spelling speller in its Word programme, and it is as phony as a wedding ring on a hooker.

[WikiEducator] epistemology
Thanks, Peter. I must admit I use the word rant with my tongue firmly in my cheek. What I have on my user page is a series of web-logs about issues that mean a lot to me, and in many ways are stimulated by the discussions on this listserv. Unfortunately, several of the topics on the listserv pass over my head, and I read them and hope some day I might understand them. Meanwhile i ave this urge (Like the artist in Tahiti) to write from time to time of things I do understand. I do not work well with deadlines, so I do not declare that i will put them up there on a specific timeline. I see many parallels between what I have been doing with my community empowerment web site, and WikiEd, and this is a good forum for me to explore those parallels. I like your phrase getting out of the way and see that as essential to the kind of eduction we are promoting on WikiEd. Nellie,I hope I can, and it takes a long time for ideas to brew in my head before I start writing. Cheers, Phil Date: Thurs, Aug 20 2009 8:49 am From: Peter Great rant Phil... wouldn't call it a rant for you say many valid things. I particularly like your section on getting out of the way or as you wrote it community empowerment vs charity. I believe the hardest part of what we do within OER is in creating and holding the space that others can fill, help themselves, one could say. we need to be coaches on the sidelines, maintaining the field and helping people to become stronger...

[WikiEducator] Tagalog Resources
I have a very eager volunteer from our Community Empowerment Collective who wants to work with me to develop our material in Tagalog (Filipino). I am actively recruiting only Portuguese, French and Spanish volunteers, but have a few others who simply want to join in (German, Romanian and Russian). I hope this is OK with everybody, but if anyone is enthusiastic, I say let 'em join in. Using the country URL code of Wikipedia, I will begin all Tagalog pages URLs with tl.

[WikiEducator] Inconsistent URLs on WikiEd
While we are talking about policy development, may I make a suggestion abut language codes on the Wikied URLs? English is en, no code or www. French is fr, Russian is ru, German is de, Spanish is es, Portuguese is pt, and so on. I have been developing some Romanian teaching resources, and using ro as the code, but there I also found many English documents, Roma and Romani, both the language of an ethic group in India and the people often called Gypsies in Europe. Going to Wikipedia I found that they should be rmy, and Romanian, as I had put it, ro. Similarly Bulgarian is bg not bu, but many African documents are there. We might argue that this higildipigeldy system is OK because there is lots of room on the site. We thought that, too on CE (Community Empowerment) and did not pay too much attention to language codes, until we grew to over thirty, and then trouble began appearing. I wish now that we could start again with the Wiki codes. (but then we only had three directories). I am suggesting that we use the wiki language codes on WikiEducator, and stick with them, so as be consistent both internally and with the other wikis. This wil prevent many problems in the future.

[WikiEducator] Minor Problems
I wish to thank those who have been working to find the solutions to those problems. I am using an HP computer, with a Vista operating platform These problems did not appear when I changed from my old computer, with an NT platform to my current computer. I am using Safari as my main browser, but have IE, Netscape and Firefox installed so I can test out pages in my Community Empowerment site, because they show some things a little differently. The new minor problems I described appear with whatever browser Use. I clean my cache daily. I was using imagem on the Spanish and Portuguese pages, but the problem appeared with them, and I was testing it with image to see if that worked, for it worked with some other images (jpg not svg). At the bottoms of the pages, I had the tables with links to my volunteers (and to Gladys and Jibril) long before these two minor problems appeared. Taking them out does not fix the problem. You will notice that I have a Romanian volunteer who is eager to work on this stuff, and there is no Romanian WikiEd per se. I made a URL with ro instead of www, and it is now a pseudo WikiEd site. I sent my password to Wayne with the idea that he could sign in as me and see if he gets the same effect. I am not especially stressed out with these two problems, but it would be nice if they could be fixed. I think it is quite funny that I am a sort of Guinea pig, a non computer specialist, because I can get problems that may appear as more computer operators who are not computer mechanics, add educational resources. Cheers, Phil == 2 of 4 == Date: Fri, Jul 17 2009 2:55 am From: Wayne Mackintosh Hi Phil, Not sure that I have a solution for your problem yet -- but this information will get us closer to the solution :-) First off, I took a look at all the pages in the different languages and the flag images displayed fine on my machine. (I'm using Ubuntu GNU/Linux as my operating system with Firefox as my browser) So this might be a problem with the cross-browser compatibility, bugs with copying and/or translating the Infobox_personal template in the different language installations etc. To narrow our search: - What operating system do you use (Microsoft, Mackintosh or GNU/Linux)? - What is your default browser (IE, Firefox, Safari etc.)? Have you tried clearing the cache of your browser -- press Ctrl Shift and click on the refresh link on your browser to see if this fixes the problem -- may not work, but will get us closer to the solution. WE don't have too many users that are editing across multiple language instalations - so we value your feedback and queries on the problems you're experiencing working across our different language installs :-). Cheers Wayne == 4 of 4 == Date: Fri, Jul 17 2009 5:57 am From: Jesse Groppi Phil, I /can/ tell you that you need to close off the table you start for your links to the other language user pages. I'm not sure why that would have the effect you're describing, but it would definitely cause issues. As far as the flag not showing up, on the Spanish page, you use [[Image:...]] instead of [[Imagen:...]], and it's the same on the Portuguese page. It works for me, but try changing it to the localised namespace and see what happens? I'm also wondering if something is causing issues with being able to view SVG files. It's a fairly new standard, and however wonderful they are, I don't think IE supports it very well. I don't keep up with that sort of thing, so I couldn't say for sure. What browser are you using?

[WikiEducator] Minor Problems
Thanks, Wayne. 1. Flag images: Here is my User page in English. In the info box is my country, Canada, and no problem with the flag. It appears as they all did at first. See: http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Philbartle Here is my Usuario page in Spanish. Formerly, the Canadian flag appeared as in my English user page. now it is gone. See: http://es.wikieducator.org/Usuario:Philbartle Here is my Utilisateur page in French. Formerly, the Canadian flag appeared as in my English user page. now it is gone. See: http://fr.wikieducator.org/Utilisateur:Philbartle Here is my Usuário page in Portuguese. Formerly, the Canadian flag appeared as in my English user page. Now it is still there as before. See: http://pt.wikieducator.org/Usuário:Philbartle Similar problems appear with some of my translation volunteers. 2. Link back to my user pages In each of the languages, when I am logged in, in the top LEFT corner is my Name. No matter what page I was on, if I clicked on it, WikiEd would take me back to my user page for that language. My name is still there in the top left corner of every page I view, but when I now click on it, WikiEd takes me to the WikiEd HOME page for that language. That is not useful. there is already a link to the home page among the utility links on the left margin. I would like to easily return to my user page in each language. When you look at my user pages, you might get a different effect. Perhaps you could log in as me. I will happily send you my log in password by regular email if you ask me to do that. Cheers Phil == 2 of 2 == Date: Thurs, Jul 16 2009 3:29 am From: Wayne Mackintosh Hi Phil, I'm not aware of any changes in the formatting of WE pages -- Can you point me to urls of any pages where you have noticed changes or problems.

[WikiEducator] Some minor problems
Have there been some changes in the formatting of WikiEd pages? 1. In some of my non English user pages, in the info box, I put flags in my volunteers' pages, and they worked, Now they just show a question mark icon, which, if you click it, goes to the flag image page. 2. In the top right corner of WikiEd pages is my name, When i clicked on it, it would take me to my user page for each respective language. Now when I click on it, it takes me to the main page for that language.

[WikiEducator] Category restructuring
The Categories function, even as it now is run, is a very useful feature of WikiEd. I use it as much as I can, and add topic categories to the pages I am developing. I would encourage a recommendation to use categories as part of the tutorial (L4C) curriculum. Also a categories page of categories would be useful. A document describing the kinds of things suggested by NZ would be a very good addition.

[WikiEducator] Translating WikiEducator
It is heartening to see WikiEducator grow and add new languages. The new languages need their base material translated in WikiEducator. In our training site, we have translated the training material into several dozen languages, and we have done with unpaid volunteer labour, We use about four on line services for recruiting those volunteers, but the one we use the most is UNV OV (United Nations Volunteers Online Volunteers). Recruiting and servicing volunteer translators takes effort and time, and needs a dedicated volunteer or staff member. I recommend to WikiEducator that it consider this source of translating. Perhaps the council could discuss it.

[WikiEducator] Portuguese WikiEd
A short while ago I put out a request for putting an infobox in Portuguese on my Portuguese user page. I am happy to say that Gladys came with her cavalry. She has been developing the Spanish WikiEd. She thought it would be fun to do a bit of the Portuguese, too. Many thanks, Gladys; you have been a lot of help to our little band of CE (Community Empowerment) folk on WikiEd. If anybody else wants to set up a Portuguese user page, or Spanish for that matter, please go to my user page (there are links between the languages) copy, paste, and adapt my info box to yours.

[WikiEducator] L4C

We shouldn't forget the amazing admin and facilitation support we have among our family. I've just remembered a very serious omission in my post about L4C statistics -- and that is my thanks to Wiki Patricia who meticulously keeps track of our all our statistics for the L4C project -- This is a huge task given the global scale of this project and we wouldn't have been able to achieve half of what we have without Patricia's tireless administration behind the scenes -- not too mention her skills as online facilitator as well. I know that she's blushing as I am posting this email because she doesn't expect public recognition. Nonetheless, every time I ask for the status on our L4C project -- within minutes Patricia has emailed a detailed spreadsheet to me of all the vital stats on the L4C project so that I can make these impressive announcements on the list.

[WikiEducator] Re: Iining up images
Works like a hot damn!
Many thanks, Kim.
This is a great example of how WE folk can help each other.
On my web site, I use tables for those kinds of things, but I did not
know how to use tables on WikEd.
I took out the second dimensions images, and put the three side by
side, reducing their size a bit to make them fit. I left the old
version on the site to show people for a while

Hi Phil,
Does this work for you?

I put all the images into adjacent table cells.

[WikiEducator] Subject = Subject
In the list of participants for the L4C tutorial, there is field: title/position Because we are educators, I propose that a word be added, Subject, so it becomes position/title/subject. See: http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/Online_schedule/eL4C21 It will certainly not apply to everybody, but as an educator, browsing though the participants list, I am interested in some topics, taught or studied, students and teachers.

[WikiEducator] Catalogue of available images on WikiEd
Can we have a page of images on WikiEd that we could use for our different purposes? I find it difficult to know what there is and if anything I might use is around.

[WikiEducator] Non Formal Education (NFE) Discussion
I would like to see an online discussion about non formal education (NFE). After some discussions with some of the participants in the L4C Tutorial I was in, I put together an outline and purpose page. I do not know about the mechanics of such a conference, but I was impressed by our tutors, Patricia and Nellie, during our online discussion sessions of the course. Please take a look at what I have so far drafted, and add your ideas and experience. http://www.wikieducator.org/Non_Formal_Education_Online_Conference#Discussion_on_Non_Formal_Education Phil If the coach does the pushups, The athlete will not get stronger Community Empowerment: www.scn.org/cmp/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

[WikiEducator] Editing Course TOC
Hi, everyone. Thanks for your kind words, yesterday. This is my first posting so I hope it works I am constructing a course on community empowerment (CE). Some nice person, who did not identify herself or himself, added a Table of Contents. See: http://www.wikieducator.org/Introduction_to_Community_Empowerment/Community_needs The course has two parts. Part A looks at the process of Community Empowerment from the perspective of the community. I called it: What the Community Needs to Do. It complements the second half. Part B describes what the mobilizer needs to do. My unnamed benefactor titled the first part as Community Needs, and that gives the wrong impression. It is not what the community needs; it is what the community needs to do, or the CE process from the community perspective. How do I go about editing that? = If the coach does the pushups, The athlete will not get stronger Community Empowerment: www.scn.org/cmp/ Join our discusssion forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Community_Strengthening --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.
