I'll step up. Sounds like fun...

I think it's a really bad idea. It kills many key ideals of Wikipedia in
general and wikis in particular. For example, it makes students consumers
rather than creators of content, and removes any possibility of current
relevance and constant updating of the information. It also re-institutes

Peter, this would be great, if you could do it. I was going to volunteer as

While one can appreciate the time and effort that goes into collecting
information from Wikipedia to develop the mathematics pages which are
in SCHOOL-WIKIPEDIA.ORG , I hope that WikiEducator will not follow the
same path. Only machines learn from definitions; human beings need
examples
Jim,
I completely agree. I'll go one step farther - examples need to be realistic
in some areas of math, particularly statistics and probability. Which begs
the question realistic for who? suggesting the need for multiple examples
with different contexts. We had a recent discussion on the
Wow, that's a great response from WE volunteers to continue the User

Looks like we have a team to support the monthly UPE award:

* Nellie Deutsch
* Patricia Schilcht
With thanks to Minhaaj and Steve who established this popular WE
feature.

Hi Jim,
Great post! I too hope that WikiEducator will evolve in ways which
support the unique demands and character of educational resources.
Already WE is demonstrating organic growth in a variety of pedagogical
approaches, for example:

I agree -- nothing supports learning better than a good example! I hope
that you released the pie-chart you created under a free content
license ;-).
I'm observing the development of the Math Glossary with great interest

Hi Everyone,
I found this 2008 University of Nottingham study on Mobile Phones and
secondary education, and thought it might be of interest.

In previous semesters working with students on WE, I reinvented
various wheels, in particular I designed my own tutorials. This year
I used the WE tutorials; this year my students have encountered fewer
difficulties and life has been smoother in general. So thank you

hey Maria , well , you are surely right , however , is there anyone here

require the students to use wikipedia in their assessment .

Hi Declan,
I think this is a great idea, with implications for other activities.
For example, in the L4C wiki tutorials, I could see the development of
'mini-templates', to provide feedback for students, at appropriate points in
their development.

Appreciate the feedback on the WE tutorials :-). We designed these
tutorials for independent self-study and am very pleased that they have
made life a little easier for your course. In hindsight this has been an
excellent investment for WE -- these tutorials have helped thousands of
Hi Leo,
I suspect that your dreams for WE supporting Chinese may become a
reality in the near future :-). As of 1 July 2009 WE will become an
independent project which will provide us with the scope to install a
Chinese localisation for WE :-)
Watch this space.

Hey Declan,
Smart thinking!
We should also think about developing a tutorial on using images in WE
which could include some guidance on attribution, licensing etc. It
would be pretty easy to include a link to this tutorial from your
template.
This is one of the features I love about Mediawiki
