Re: [Wikimedia Education] Wikimedia Education Program

Hi Harald and thanks for the feedback:) Yes you're right, it's a good opportunity for them to learn the importance of languages in practice. Two of them did write descriptions in English (I told our English teacher and she was excited, she promised bonus points in her class for students who

Hi Sophie and all A late reply to an interesting message... sorry for the delay, I've been terribly caught up in the outrageous measures that were approved by Parliament in the recent law governing Upper Secondary Education. Teachers were on strike all of last week and up to yesterday, well

[Wikimedia Education] An alarming piece of news: Facebook teams with opensource???

Hello all I just wanted to share a link that I just found. It seems that Facebook is running a campaign to encourage Computer Science students to earn academic credits by contributing to opensource projects:

Sorry for the delayed reply, busy day yesterday and another ahead:) Having read all of your comments carefully, I think you're missing my point. Perhaps I didn't stress my main point enough: I understand that profit can be made from non-profit endeavours and that this is not something that

Re: [Wikimedia Education] An alarming piece of news: Facebook teamswith opensource???

Again, that's beside my point. There's a huge distance between companies using/benefiting from opensource, and the same companies coming out and saying more or less The Opensource Community meets the Academic Community. Brought to you by Facebook. (Replace Opensource above with Open-content

Hi Pine Three years ago I suggested to a coĺleague that the project she had completed with her class was perfect for WikiVoyage: she had mapped out a walk around our town that included the most important historical monuments. She had named it "200 years in two hours". It was one of the first

Re: [Wikimedia Education] Newsletter updates--your participation requested

I too agree that it is a good idea to go back to the monthly format but as Shani has pointed out, we are volunteers: a theme is fine for a professional journal, not for educators volunteering their time to share practices across wikis and continents. I was actually looking forward to writing about

Anna I am happy that you brought this up: I was eagerly expecting a notification on my talk page (actually I remember there used to be cross-posting so that an educator could not miss the invitation to write!) and I had exciting news to share... and I am also a member of the Education mailing list
