<br>
Thanks for recording this on the wiki; but be careful, always be
sure to include an appropriate wiki "category" at the bottom of
your page, so that your wiki page can be found (years from now).
Scroll to the bottom of your page now, you can see that I added
"Category: FOSS4G2016" to it. Click on that link
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:FOSS4G2016">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:FOSS4G2016</a>), and your page is
listed with all of the other pages for that event, cool eh? Just
be sure to always include a category for any page you create
(copy/paste that text to the bottom of every page you create).
thanks! :)
<br>
<br>
And I notice that a "GeoForAll" category already exists too, great
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:GeoForAll">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:GeoForAll</a>). You can list
multiple categories for the same page (just look around the wiki
for examples, copy/paste their text).

Merci!

<br>
Thanks a lot for joining a discussion, providing feedback and
comments,
<br>
asking additional questions. I set up the wikipage to gather all
<br>
information concerning education at FOSS4G 2016
<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Education">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Education</a>).
<br>
<br>
Summing up...
<br>
Conference - we agree on having education included into general
track.
<br>
Great! Work in progress... :-)
<br>
Workshop - we have quite a lot of people open for the idea of
<br>
educational workshop at FOSS4G 2016. However, there are some
important
<br>
issues which need to be discussed.
<br>
<br>
First of all (Nikos is 100% right) - was is/are our target
group(s)?
<br>
Looking at the different background of ICA-OsGeo Labs we have at
least 5
<br>
different groups:
<br>
1) academics working with students over 19 at the universities,
<br>
2) school teachers, working with children aged 6-12/14 (primary
<br>
education) - in different countries we have different
educational
<br>
system so also different age groups
<br>
3) school teachers, working with young people aged 12/14-19
(secondary
<br>
education) - in different countries we have different
educational
<br>
system so also different age groups
<br>
4) teacher trainers, so educators responsible for improving
pre-service
<br>
and/or in-service school teachers skills and knowledge,
<br>
5) GI educators responsible for improving GIS skills and
knowledge of
<br>
very different groups of users (specialists, scientists, public
<br>
administration staff, etc.)
<br>
<br>
Well... We can of course make not 1 workshop but 2 or more (if
room is
<br>
still available) but what's crucial - how to get participants
for the
<br>
training? Moreover, how to get participants for only one-day
training?
<br>
<br>
In my opinion, we would have no problems to get people from
group no 1.
<br>
and no. 5 - they will be in Bonn :-)
<br>
But, as far as group no. 2, 3 and 4 are concerned, it will be
much
<br>
harder. School teachers can be financially supported by their
schools
<br>
but for 1-day training that can be not so easy.
<br>
If we want this group to come - how can we support them? First
of all,
<br>
get money to cover their travel expenses. That's the most
important. I
<br>
know quite a lot of teachers from Belgium for example who would
be
<br>
interested to come, if they get this kind of support. Any ideas
on how
<br>
to do it (except for Till's proposal to ask OsGeo for help)?
<br>
<br>
So dear ICA-OsGeo Lab members, to make a general discussion more
<br>
concrete - please declare your *ideas on specific training* that
*you
<br>
*would like to lead on FOSS4G 2016 using above mentioned
Wikipage. That
<br>
would help a lot!
<br>
<br>
Regards,

Dear all,
<br>
<br>
To be honest, I am getting confused. One time you are
talking
<br>
about university education and the nest time about
schools.
<br>
<br>
Maybe we should decide or group our desires.
<br>
<br>
Some should think about the tertiary education, some about
<br>
secondary and others (like me) about primary. Should we
allocate
<br>
different people, as contact persons, to lead the
discussion for
<br>
each level of education?

Hi Ela,
<br>
<br>
I find the ideas absolutely wonderful.
<br>
Regarding workshop for teachers, in Como we talked also
about to
<br>
look for funding in order to open it to people around
Europe, and
<br>
not only germany. But we all agreed that it would be
difficult in
<br>
schools.
<br>
<br>
On the other hand, in Spain we are having some debate
around how
<br>
difficult is to find students in GIS, although geographic
<br>
information seams key. If it is a generic problem, maybe
it would
<br>
be interesting to prepare a round table to talk about the
item.
<br>
Some of us think that the term GIS is not a fashion term
and maybe
<br>
we should have to "fashionate" it. I don't know.
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
<br>
<br>

There are two main options:
<br>
<br>
No. 1 ? *conference* itself (24-26th of August)
<br>
<br>
Education will be mentioned as one of the special topics
in the
<br>
General track. So during the general program selection a
special
<br>
focus will be put on education-related presentations. The
idea was
<br>
not to make these presentations too much research-oriented
(as in
<br>
acadeic track) but really practical.
<br>
As Volker (chair of program committee) mentioned:"My plan
is to
<br>
give the slots (3 talks in a row) some kind of topic.
Those would
<br>
be then be ?education?.
<br>
I really like this idea ? it would help to make this topic
more
<br>
visible and help people who are interested to find proper
time and
<br>
room ;-)
<br>
<br>
I think this is a good idea.
<br>
<br>
In Como, you'll recall there was a paper by the NCSU team
about
<br>
their educational material and how they made datasets
generic, or
<br>
perhaps people could consider presenting issues such as
how they
<br>
are teaching various topics like geocrowdsourcing,
Volunteer
<br>
geographic information, geo-sensor webs, geo-temporal
<br>
visualization, modeling, or some other area. Maybe there
could be
<br>
a call for papers?
<br>
<br>
No. 2 ? *pre-conference, education workshop* (23rd of
August )
<br>
<br>
We have a chance to organise pre-conference workshop!
<br>
<br>
In Como we talked about two options: a) having
workshop for
<br>
German school teachers on use of FOSS4G (e.g. QGIS) in
<br>
education, b) having workshop for teacher trainers to
show
<br>
them how they can motivate and attract teachers to
open GIS.
<br>
<br>
I think these are both good ideas too.
<br>
<br>
One update on my end. The GeoForAll urban thematic has a
grant
<br>
proposal under review right now. Like all grant proposals
-- It's
<br>
a long shot -- but if funded it would provide funding to
support a
<br>
US GeoForAll scholar to go to Bonn to offer a training
workshop at
<br>
FOSS4G 2016. The topic would be either a 'Research
Methods'
<br>
workshop or a 'Train the Trainer' workshop - probably
targeting
<br>
university researchers and educators. I don't know when we
will
<br>
hear about the funding, but my guess is that it will be in
early
<br>
2016, and if it comes in, we'll have a call for workshop
topics.
<br>
So I'll let you know if it comes in.
<br>
<br>
I encourage others in our community to go after funds like
this
<br>
that would help fund/support these kinds of educational or
<br>
research workshops to happen in future FOSS4G global or
regional
<br>
events!
