Hi all, I recently made a visit to a school as part of the Royal Geographic Society (UK) Geography Ambassadors scheme where i spoke to kids (15/16 yr olds) about geography in the real world. We then had an OSM editing session which was surprisingly successful. The kids were really interested in the concept of 'participation in real-world geography'. I'm not trying to indoctrinate youths into OSM, just showing them how easy it now is to participate in making maps compared to when i was at school. On the whole it was a very positive experience with many valid edits made. You can check out the session editing highlights and some lessons for newbie editing in Potlatch2 here: http://geoxchange.esriuk.com/journal/2011/11/17/the-next-geographers.html
