23:00 - Wikipedia en el aula
Patricio Lorente
Teachers of all levels of the educational system are facing a huge
challenge: The internet is now part of the everyday life of their
students and many of them just don't know how to deal with
this new environment. In particular, many teachers don't know
how to handle the presence and use of Wikipedia. Wikimedia
Argentina has collected experiences of teachers using Wikipedia
in their classrooms, in different and creative ways, not only as a
source of information but also improving the educational process.

1:00:50 - Spread the Word: Defocusing educational efforts
Denis Barthel
Since 2006 Wikimedia Deutschland is running programs to
present Wikipedia primers, mainly in schools for students and
teachers alike. Two special pilot projects in 2008 (students)
and 2009 (teachers), a sister-project for senior citizens
and occasional events targeted on such diverse groups as
scientists, journalists and business people helped to find some
results concerning outreach work in general and led to some
conclusions, which are presented here.
