Pru MitchellAbout Me
Hi, my name's Brianna. I'm not an educator as such, but I'm interested in working with teachers and the various arms of the education system.
I'm deeply involved with Wikipedia -- I've been an editor for several years and I'm on the committee for Wikimedia Australia. I'd like to help educators understand how Wikipedia and similar wikis work, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they might be suitable (or not) in the classroom.
I'm also a big supporter of free/libre & open source software such as Linux.
