Hi Peter,
Why wouldn't you just teach them how to edit to add real information?
I can't speak for the whole community, but I think that is the best
way to teach them. There are workshops held all over the world where
people immediately make edits to OpenStreetMap.
+1
Was exactly my thoughts. I had contact to a lot of teachers (so more
difficult little new contributors) and there wasn't any kind of
vandalism or so on. Of course there were mistakes, but come on all of us
did mistakes, at the very first edits :)

Hi,
I am doing some teaching in a few weeks time on Neogeography. I intend
to show the students the workings of OpenStreetMap and in particular
how to contribute data and edit/update existing features.
I am aware that http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/ exists for testing.
My question is:
What is the most community-acceptable way to allow people to "test
out" editing in OSM (via Potlatch) which harming the data in the live
database? Under no circumstances will editing of the live database
take place in the workshops.
Is there an alternative to setting up my own local OSM server?
Best wishes and thanks in advance,
Peter
