It's a lovely video indeed, Jon. It's great to see High School students be part of a Wikipedia Education Programme. Lilit is doing a great job in Armenia. I would have liked to see more than just the students in the video though, by which I mean the teacher/tutor so we can hear how they prepared for this project and how other teachers could do it -- that sort of thing would make it even more useful. Convincing students is much easier than convincing teachers of the benefits of using Wikipedia in the classroom in this way.
On a more minor point, I think showing a student holding an iPad is also a little misleading because it's not as easy for a newbie to edit Wikipedia on an iPad from my experience, but perhaps that's just a very personal perspective. It may also have to do with personal levels of digital literacy. Anyway, thanks for sharing this video.
