===Using Wikimedia===
====Ideas====
=====Wikipedia=====
*Using Wikipedia for research
*Using sources to verify information (references, citations)
*Correct citations
*Navigating Wikipedia
=====Commons=====
*Finding free-license photos for projects
*Researching locations
=====Wikiquote=====
*Finding quotes from famous people - for school projects
=====Wikinews=====
*Researching major historical events (could be tied in with Wikipedia)
=====Wiktionary=====
*Learning new definitions
*Looking up synonyms / antonyms
*Find words in another language

====Workshop====
First section is a workshop on using Wikipedia, how to navigate, search, use sources, and cite. Then, spend the next section researching a major topic of the group's choice - perhaps 3 or 4 groups per "class" - developing a presentation to be presented to the other groups. Each group is expected to include cited work, free license pictures, and places to look for further information on the topics. Perhaps a few "did you know" points - things the other groups might not know.
=====Possible Topics=====
*9/11
*7/7
*Presidential Election
*War (WWI, WW2, WoT)
*Major Earthquake / Disaster

===Contributing to Wikimedia===
====Ideas====
=====Wikipedia=====
*How to edit / create an article
*Basic policies (NPOV, COI) 
*Basic WikiMarkup
*Citing sources
=====Wikinews=====
*Style of a News Article
*Researching topics
*Original Reporting
=====Commons=====
*Taking photos for Commons
*Licensing
*Uploading
====Workshop====
Spend the first part working through the policies of different projects, how they operate, and how to use the Wiki syntax. Then, the project is to develop the article on their school - a great way to teach about having cited sources and NPOV / COI issues. By taking photos, researching from websites (Newspapers, OfSTED, etc), and developing the article, they can update their school article.
