Thankyou Gnangarra :) It turns out to be ridiculously easy to score a speaking gig at an education conf. So I do really recommend other people give it a shot. I did mention that if teachers organise editing projects, they should post on the talk page or the appropriate wikiproject to let Wikipedians know what's going on -- but I more emphasise that there are lots of types of class projects where students can interact with Wikipedia content that don't need to be article writing projects. I think that is a very difficult task, because you have the triple whammy of subject content, wiki software and wiki community. So I talk about referencing and reviewing/evaluating projects where a teacher could post a summary of the classes' findings on the talk page at the end of the project. I think it would be cool to develop a little case studies booklet basically with details of <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SUP> and some more ideas. I think that would potentially be very helpful for teachers. But it is a bit further down the list of things I would like to do, at the moment. :) Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/
