Dr. Chad Tew is an associate professor of journalism at the University of Southern Indiana, United States. I am interested in journalism and human rights (See User boxes below). This page is about my interest in the Wiki Education Foundation through the courses that I teach using Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikinews.
My banner is a playful jab at my User name. Many of the User names throughout the Wikimedia projects are funny or idiosyncratic. The banner at least provides for a pronunciation of mine. I make no claim to the formal title and I have never met the Queen. As a typical American and much like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, the concept of monarchy and royalty boggles my mind.
I am currently active on Wikipedia as a faculty member. I teach "

You will learn more about Wikipedia and our project in class. Use the resources page to learn all things Wikipedia! (Thanks to Cindamuse for the compilation!) A more specific guide for our purposes was written by Laura Hale, "Editing Journalists Biographies on Wikipedia," which is available through Wikimedia Commons.

Use the tips & tricks page to learn more about specific topics. I will be adding to this page as students have more questions.
Use the course rubric and list of tips to review your own article as well as your peers. Write a note on their user "talk" pages and then sign it by typing four tildes (~) afterward. Tell them what you liked about their articles and make suggestions for improvement. When you make suggestions be specific and personalize it for their entry.

Find a Wikipedia article to illustrate through your own original photography. Do this by searching for content that interests you or is the subject of your portfolio and currently has no photographs. If you don't find this search method satisfying, you can also search through the Category:Wikipedia requested photographs to fulfill an existing request! In both cases you can use Special:Search to make better use of the search function.
Wikimedia Commons offers students a superb opportunity to learn about copyright issues. Students will donate their work under the Creative Commons license. They will also learn about how to acquire photographs from government or other resources that can be then be used to illustrate articles.
Online Journalism students (300 level)
Your main accounts will be on Wikinews and Wikimedia Commons, which are sister projects of Wikipedia in the Wikimedia Foundation family. After the creation of your User pages, a greeter from those sites will give you important starter information that will orient you to those projects.

The Newsroom is the primary site where news stories are created, edited, and discussed before publication. It is also where you can connect with other Wikinews journalists, make requests and read announcements about developments at Wikinews. Interaction with other journalists also takes place around the Water cooler. Good reporting depends on good research tools and the ongoing assessment of the reliability and veracity of your sources, and Wikinews maintains the Reference desk to connect you to sources and to assist in fact checking. If you have any other navigation issues, a good page to help you find what you need is site map.
You will be embedded in the Wikinews institution and so you will want to learn more about its mission, history, role in news production, policies, and code of ethics. The neutral point of view is the essential principle behind both Wikipedia and Wikinews and it should manifest itself in every aspect of your reporting, writing and professional manner.
Review the introduction to Wikinews, how to edit a page, and content guidance before you write an article. At first, you will write synthesis articles to learn how to work in the environment. Later, you will do original reporting. You will then turn to multimedia reporting when you create audio reports and write a photo essay. You should aim to submit quality work to Wikinews. Read the best stories in n:Wikinews:Featured articles, and they can provide you with solid exemplars.
The sister projects also support one another through
After you learn more about Wikinews and the sister projects of Wikimedia Foundation, you may want to become an accredited reporter at the Wikinews and active at their support site, which is Wikinewsie.org.
