Dear Collab members, Happy almost September! We are pleased to report that we are almost ready to proceed with the opening of the education campaign in the first week of September. For next steps, the campaign microsite <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Campaign> that we have constructed has content that needs to be translated. If you are looking forward to joining the campaign, we would like to kindly ask you to translate the content of the website to the language used in your WEP, so we can help engage as many teachers as possible. This includes the main campaign page, and the subpages for registration, Lesson Plans and FAQ. We have created a category on Commons to group the lesson plans PDFs: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:EduWiki_Campaign_2016 Please note that WMF Education Program team will not be responsible for implementing the campaign in your respective country, but we will help provide support in any areas you need. This means that each Collab member who wants to be part of this campaign, has to promote the campaign in their own context. This could include sharing the campaign on your affiliate social media channels, creating a site notice banner for your language version Wikipedia (if you choose to do so!), sharing broadly among your network of educators, and any other means of collaboration you think could be useful (for example, guest posting in an education blog, or working to get local media coverage). We have included a sign-up page <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Campaign/Participate>, for educators to sign on-wiki and also via a form that we are finalizing. We have also created a short survey to collect feedback on the campaign, which will help the collab follow up after the campaign has ended. You can review the draft surveys here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jHlSJS3wVCJUbzSDp5Y2Jgyc64LbJd6S1YGWJ8ZzZe8/edit>. Thank you very much for your help and feedback. It is much appreciated, and I look forward to working together to show the world that Wikipedia belongs in the classroom. Best, Loreen _______________________________________________ education-collab mailing list education-collab(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education-collab
