Dear Friends,

The WikiEducator User Page Expo <http://wikieducator.org/UPE> ("UPE" to its
friends) is an ongoing event to acknowledge WikiEducator user pages that
are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or otherwise
just plain clever.

We are happy to announce the winner for August 2014. She is Kim Thomas.
Lets learn more about her.

Kim Thomas <http://wikieducator.org/User:Hortykim> is a Lecturer for
Foundation Studies in Trades,Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand. In addition,
she has performed roles as Lecturer (Natural Resources); as a Teaching and
Research Assistant Department of Natural Resources, Otago Polytechnic,
Dunedin; managing Permaculture Garden and Wormfarm for Living Campus; as
Lecturer,Occupational Therapy and Health and Safety Adviser for ABE at
Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin. She has lot of achievements to her credit like
Recipient of staff excellence award (and development grant) February 2011
Staff Meeting; Certificate of Appreciation-Excellence in Leadership(2009);
Public Speaker - Confident public speaker for Hort Talk series and kindred
gardening groups; Short Course Coordinator - Created and developed short
courses; sourcing tutors, developing programmes, promotion and
co-ordination. In addition, she created substantial opportunities for all
programmes and Short Courses at the Otago Polytechnic. She developed and
maintained a working relationship with local media alongwith co-ordinating
advertising features and publicity opportunities. She has successfully
created an OER based Course on Permaculture Design
<http://wikieducator.org/Permaculture_design>. This course provides an
introduction to permaculture design principles and methods which when
applied will lead you down the path to sustainable systems for your home or
working environment. Some of the learning outcomes for this course are to
understand and describe the ethics and principles of permaculture; and to
outline procedures used to analyze a site for permaculture. An ardent fan,
she expresses in her blog, "...I find that wikieducator is a great place to
store resources and is extremely time efficient. Once I had mastered the
ability to set up new pages and edit them then I am able to tweak and add
information so that my lesson plans and resources improve every time I
present a particular unit to my class. I also really enjoy capturing
resources on video and photos as we do a lot of stuff that is practical and
interesting.These resources become links in the wikieducator to support
ideas or explain concepts for future students.Another great benefit is if a
student misses a class then I can direct them to the session stored on the
wiki."

Please join us in congratulating Kimto
<http://wikieducator.org/User:Hortykim> be the UPE winner for August 2014!

with best wishes,

Dr. Nellie Deutsch <http://wikieducator.org/User:Nelliemuller> and Ramesh

Hi Kim,
Would like to add my congratulations along with everyone else. Would be
neat if you could add links to your courses in WikiEducator to the page
(and maybe an RSS feed from your Wordpress blog?).
