Gostaríamos de conhecer sua experiência no uso da Wikipédia e da educação. Sendo você iniciante no mundo da Wikimedia ou sendo você usuário(a) da Wikipédia na sala de aula, gostaríamos que participasse. Haverão oportunidades para todos para iniciar, aumentar ou melhorar a forma que usam a Wikipédia na sala de aula.

A participação é gratuita, mas as inscrições se encerraram.

Não é necessária a inscrição para a Wikimania para comparecer à Pré-Conferência de Educação da mesma. A Pré-Conferência é separada da principal, assim como as inscrições.

Young people need media competence, teachers find it difficult, needed in future
Porque es imposible gestionar la información sin tecnología
I do not teach in a group, but I've given some talks and workshops in order to improve the use that teachers and students have of Wikipedia
Because technology changes the way we create and relate with Knowledge.
To connect people

To transcend the classroom walls
Technology = materialization of economic progress/innovation; necessity to survive.
We need technology:
to have quick access to information
to use it for quick look of information
to help students to get the needed information
Porque puede entregar una nueva perspectiva del conocimiento y de como compartirlo
Cheap (at least relatively?)
Young people today are always "plugged in" to some device. They are immersed in technology. If educators do not engage with technology, it is more difficult to connect with and relate to young people today.
Technology is everywhere nowadays; its a non sense excluded from classroom
Kids will grow up surrounded by tech and they need to know how to use it like a tool, not just a game
High school students are engaged in their daily lives with tablets and smartphones and learn through technology
Learning interactive training can integrate knowledge and social contacts for worlds big knowledge

Begin with simple topics and find less developed articles to improve.
Think about how you will evaluate student work from the very beginning.

Translation:

Usar artículos destacados / GA/FA
Review the content translation tool (Sage and Walaa)

Education Extension/Metrics:

Use and contribute metrics on the dashboard on Outreach Education portal
The education extension is a great tool for managing courses
The countries page on Outreach portal is useful

Ambassador training

Summary of best questions/ideas from discussions.

Challenges

1) How to envolve the institutions?

2) How to implement Wikipedia as an interdisciplinary tool?

3) How to familiarize the community with the platform ?

4) How to form networks committed to creating spaces for training ?

5) How to legetimize Wikipedia between teachers and students?

6) How teach about computer literacity at educators?

7) To convince the teacher: first make a profile of the students : what do they do in WP? Why is useful to consider what can be done? So, what others questions can help us to create an effective speech to involve teachers?

8) How can we do that Wikipidians help us as educators? Where we know at the Wikipidians of our country?

9) Each chapter can have a space recognition ambassador program?

10) Where do we find official tools on what it is and how to be an ambassador?

11) How to develop assessments from WP tools offer?

Desafíos

1) ¿Cómo lograr que las instituciones apoyen?

2) ¿Cómo implementar Wikipedia como una herramienta transdisciplinaria?

3) ¿Cómo familiarizar a la comunidad con la plataforma?

4) ¿Cómo conformar redes comprometidas con la creación de espacios de capacitación?

5) ¿Cómo legitimar Wikipedia entre profesores y alumnos?

6) ¿Cómo alfabetizar informáticamente a la sociedad?

7) Para convencer al docente hay que hacer primero un perfil de los estudiantes: ¿Qué hacen en WP? ¿Por qué es útil tener en cuenta lo que se puede hacer?

8) ¿Cómo podemos hacer que los Wikipedistas nos ayuden? ¿Dónde los conocemos?

9) ¿Cada capitulo puede tener un espacio de reconocimiento del programa de embajadores?

10) ¿Dónde encontramos herramientas sobre qué es y cómo ser un embajador?

11) ¿Cómo desarrollar evaluaciones a partir de las herramientas que ofrece WP?

Possible solutions

1) Use Wp as an interdisciplinary tool

2) Zoom experiences that promote familiarity with the platform (online courses , videos, wikiexpedition -knowledge in a variety of languages-)

3) Establishment of networks Training spaces

4) Generate clear commitments

5 ) Share experiences

6) Promote the “legitimation” of Wikipedia in Education

7) Link the Wp projects with computer literacy

8) Studies show students want video. Could we use EDU programs to make videos (2´to explain topics- or spoken) for e.g: A class homework could be to have students work to make short-simple audio/video overview of existing article. Or create a demonstration video.

10) Invite students to create/edit tutorials to make them more simple and easier to read.

11) Ambassador pages are not easy to use. Can we improve design and add oficial badges.

12) Where to find ambassadors? Look for subject experts. Ask chapters. Volunteer burnout can be a problem. In WM DE they have a private network (Wikiteam)

13) Important to recognize ambassadors with badgesor recognize/thank them (very important!)

14) Need for material resources stickers/buttons for students. Printed material make look more oficial.

15) Encourage students and ambassadors to include WP work on Cv or digital portfolio.

Posibles soluciones

1) Utilizar Wp como una herramienta transdisciplinaria

2) Acercar experiencias que promuevan la familiarización con la plataforma (cursos virtuales, videos, Wikiexpedition –conocimiento en varios idiomas-)

3) Conformación de redes, con espacios de capacitación

4) Generar compromisos claros

5) Compartir experiencias

6) Promover la legitimación de Wikipedia

7) Acompañar la alfabetización informática

8) Los estudios demuestran los estudiantes prefieren el soporte video. Podríamos utilizar hacer videos que expliquen sobre el uso educativo de Wikipedia. Una tarea podría ser la de que los estudiantes trabajan para hacer resumen de audio / video fácil corto del artículo existente o un vídeo de demostración

9) Pedir a los estudiantes editar introducciones para que sean más simples y más fáciles de leer

10) Las páginas de los embajadores no son fáciles de usar ¿Podemos mejorar el diseño y añadir insignias oficiales?

11) ¿Dónde encontrar embajadores? Busque expertos en el tema, pregunte a los capítulos

12) Tener en cuenta que el agotamiento del voluntario puede ser un problema.

13) En WMDE tienen un Wikiteam, crearon una red privada.

14) Reconocer a los embajadores con insignias y agradecerles.

15) Necesidad de recursos materiales como pines, stickers para estudiantes. Los materiales impresos hacen más oficial el acercamiento a instituciones

16) Animar a los estudiantes y embajadores para incluir el trabajo WP en el Cv o portafolio digital.

Survey results show satisfaction about the Education Pre-Conference

Attendees were mostly Wikipedians, educators and students

More than half of participants came from Mexico

After holding a two-day Education Pre-Conference at Wikimania 2015, a survey was sent to the participants to collect information about who have attended and what is their feedback. The survey results show that more than half of the respondents are very satisfied about the pre-conference; They find it useful and they are willing to learn more about the Wikipedia Education Program and to use Wikipedia in their courses starting soon.

Participants

Around 60 people attended the Wikimania Education Pre-Conference and 23 of them took the survey. The results represent people who took the survey only, and does not necessarily represent those who attended the pre-conference. More than half of the respondents were from Mexico while the rest were from different other countries which reveals a big interest in Wikipedia Education Program in Mexico. Also, comments in Spanish were mostly being satisfied about the pre-conference and its content. Being held right before Wikimania, it was not surprising to see that the majority of attendees were Wikipedians, when educators came in the second place and students in the third made sense, since the event is about Education. Not that only, but more than half of attendees were previously connected with Wikipedia education-related activities or participated in the program somehow.

Feedback

Half to two thirds of those who took the survey found the pre-conference very useful and they were willing to get more information about the Wikipedia Education Program when they are back. They were also planning to include Wikipedia in their courses starting soon, while around 13-17% (3-4 people) were totally dissatisfied about the pre-conference and the rest were moderate or undecided about it. There were no clear details about why dissatisfied people did not like the event, but their responses show that it was not the best useful learning experience.

Comments on this event and suggestions for future ones

People enjoyed the group activities and discussions held at the pre-conference. It was helpful to exchange ideas and to see how others think and work. The Ambassador training and other training sessions on the Education Extension and Wikimetrics were the most useful sessions too according to the survey. In the future, attendees who took the survey think it will be better if participants are divided according to their level of experience in WEP and Wikipedia editing. They also want more time to be given for brainstorming and planning for the future projects.

Some participants found the event an eye-opening experience, others believe that it was a perfect space for joint work while others want Wikimania organizers to hold other similar pre-conferences on GLAM, Legal, and other topics.
