You do not have to *give* them such experiences. You need to draw
attention to the experiences they have had all their lives.

I like the idea of giving certificates, but I think we should take the
opportunity to enforce some simple best practices, like requiring a toolbar,
requiring Share and Keep buttons to be hidden if they aren't used, requiring
a proper icon for the Activity, etc.
It might be nice to have two levels

I found a couple of promising lesson plans with a web search:

having worked with a handful of student groups in Austria over the past
three years I agree with your observation.
With education students I feel it's hard to get them involved because
they're simply not used to tools such as mailing-lists, wikis, and IRC
which happen to be the places
Chris,
I would consider Pootle support basic good practice, not advanced.
I agree with others who said we need to get them involved in the community.
That might actually make the certificate attractive to teachers. If he
assigns a student to get a certificate from us the student will learn

How do you think we could reach education students? Is it worth
doing?

Sameer,
I remember being a student like it was yesterday. The thing is, you have
classes like this one that Mel Chua pointed out awhile back:
