December 22. 2020. Eric Yeboah in Ghana participated during covid sheltering in place. He was not able to attend school. This was a good experience for a 17 year old to experience a focus group discussion using Wikipedia.

Who is in charge during a pandemic. I did submit this article to Wikipedia but it was rejected.

I did do a Wikipedia article about Laura Kahn I also participated in the Covid course on how to add content to COVID 19 Wikipedia. 

I was able to use what I learned for my weekly Zoom sessions that were started in November of 2020. Which are still ongoing.

I share my zoom screen showing how to use the Wikipedia editor, Wikidata, Wikicommons, and the Wikipedia book creator. We have had sessions looking at covid19 pandemic sites reviewing and comparing data between countries and inputting info. Hopefully the presentations will encourage editing from participants. 

They have become very active in searching and researching for content and focussed discussion groups. As I share the screen those joining the group do research. 

Throughout the week we search for content on our own and share the info. 

We have done a lot of work with the Wikipedia book creator. 

The Cryptocurrency book has been very challenging. We are still in the learning phase about Crypto.

Below some wikipedia books we created using the Wikipedia book creator.

JEROME JOHNSON - COMMUNITY SOLAR ENERGY DEMONSTRATION HOUSE

Update: Elder Jerome Johnson has passed away. We are taken aback with sadness. There was no support for his plight in continuing to do community work. He was very angry going thru the ageing process, and his dream of building community was deferred, and ignored. It is so sad how so many elders are treated. Especially, elders like Mr. Johnson who gave so much. His wish was to have the solar house made into a museum.  Jerome Johnson! J erome Johnson is 86 years of age. He exemplifies our society’s disregard towards our ageing population. How our ageing population is treated and ignored. As throwaway items in society. Where elder citizens are told you are old and youth is new). They are not appreciated, and their life long work is disrespected and in many cases seen as irrelevant.    Mr. Johnson is a People’s pioneer in how-to create and invent for the everyday citizen and community. He developed the solar cooker in the 70s, and created a demonstrati...

Palestine - Culture, History.

Palestine Culture , History. What you will not learn on the evening news.  The Wikipedia Book Creator is not operative. Alkebulan Wiki Edit and Study Group have decided to use blogspot instead until Wikipedia Book Creator gets reinstalled. Palestine History Map Gaza Before & After Bombing Attacks.  During  Sheltering in Place we used the Wikipedia Book Creator to create curriculum for learning, research, and discussions.  We had wanted to compile information about Palestine from existing Wikipedia articles. Since most of us know very little about that part of the world; its history, culture, and struggles.   We did a Wikipedia book using the book creator for Ukraine for Dummies. So we decided to do the same for Palestine. The legendary news mainstream does not educate us in ways other than with their agenda as to how we should think.   I wanted to create an article to show what existed in Palestine before the bombing.  We have to take it upon o...

Michaela DePrince.

I am still finding it difficult to wrap my mind around the loss of Michaela DePrince at 29 years old. A game changer in the Ballet world from Sierra Leone, Harlem to the world.  This morning my take was through her life, a lesson. The lesson whatever you are doing, learning, practicing 'to make it your own' whether you are young or old. Be positive in your pursuit or pursuits.
