Excellent idea Andrew, while there are many high quality education
programmes that now exist in our space, they do seem to be aimed
predominately at universities and "traditional" academia. Entire fields of
"blue collar" knowledge are being left out. Good to see I'm not the only
one that's spotted that gap!
Cheers,
Craig

I've proposed a talk on vocational education,
deliberately designed to be
a bit different to some of the other likely talks on this subject so that
we can get some new ideas going. It's obviously dependent on whether I can
get to Wikimania or not, but if I don't, I'll write it up and upload it
somewhere anyway :)
kindest regards

Are you going to Wikimania this year? I'm
excited to see so many
education-related sessions proposed so far! I've started a list of
education-related submissions on this page:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Education_Program/Wikimania_20…
But I'm sure the list is missing some -- please add submissions you
see! And please click through and add yourself to the interested
attendees list for the sessions you think sound interesting.
I'm also trying to coordinate some kind of education meet-up while
we're there. There's also a list on that page of people who are hoping
to or planning to attend Wikimania; please add yourself and add any
ideas you have about the best things we could do as a group there.
