Playing with maps to make people participate

Offered by Régis, Wiki-Rennes

The idea of this presentation is to show how we can use maps to mak people participate to a City Wiki.

Not everybody is willing to write articles and to create new contents.

Using maps can be a good way to create new articles.

Example: Children-Drawing - on Google-Map
Link: Click on a point on the map and see the scanned and uploaded children-Drawing.

This article was created with a group of children in a school, from 7 to 9 years old, with help of a school animator an the wiki animator.

Here we have very young people who can participate, when they could'nt do it alone.

Example: Street-Art

 * Sites of street Art are shown on the map

Maps with City Information
Can better be found through the Wiki and Categories :

As the city of Rennes make available open data files, through a website, people can create new public service articles with subjects they are interested in. As it's very easy to create map with a kml file and a wiki, every can give access to data they like.
