Proposed participation

I am a longterm Wikipedian in Chinese WIkipedia. I am dedicated in outreach with GLAM and educational institutions to enhance the contribution in Wikimedia Movement. I am going to co-present in the Asian Conference on Technology in the Classroom 2017 (ACTC2017) to educators on how to edit Wikipedia in a 90 minutes workshop.

Goal and expected impact

• According to the last year conference summary, there are about 200 attendees (about 70% are from Asia) in the conference. I hope to get the following impact with them:
  • To demonstrate our case in the past years the Taiwanese Wikimedian community has experiment on the way Wikipedia can be used in education.
  • To explore the possibility of using Wikipedia with teachers and scholars of educational field. This is the only workshop related to Wikipedia in the whole conference.
  • To network with potential adopter of using Wikipedia, and keep them in the loop of the Wikimedia movement.
