I'd like to create two '''Welcome to Wikimedia''' seminars / talks which offer an introduction to Wikimedia projects in a concise 'double period' format (Guideline being approx 90mins).

School term 2 begins in mid April, the aim will be to complete presentations by this time, and organise a 'beta' programme (perhaps 2 --> 5 schools?) throughout the term. 3 Presentations per school term, evolving with feedback and practice, is a good aim for Term 3 onwards. | |||

Wikimedia Australia and Schools
Wikimedia Australia is interested in liaising with schools to share a variety of information including;
- What is Wikipedia - An introduction to the priniciples and mechanics involved in Wikipedia work, and wikis in general.
- Best Practice for students - ways to encourage valuable interactions with wikis, including applications within teaching and learning.
- Guidance and support for educators - specific ideas and support for existing projects - we're all ears!
Volunteers interested in working in this area

Make rough timetable + discuss goals
I'd like to create two Welcome to Wikimedia seminars / talks which offer an introduction to Wikimedia projects in a concise 'double period' format (Guideline being approx 90mins). One to be aimed at secondary school children, and one to be aimed at secondary school staff. Ideally the presentations will be created collaboratively here on this wiki. There are no barriers to beginning such work immediately.
Rough Timetable
School term 2 begins in mid April, the aim will be to complete presentations by this time, and organise a 'beta' programme (perhaps 2 --> 5 schools?) throughout the term. 3 Presentations per school term, evolving with feedback and practice, is a good aim for Term 3 onwards.
Identify some schools / stakeholders and make contact
Making contact can wait until the presentation is further developed, potential schools can be listed below;
