“Will that be on the wiki?”
Thomas, K.
Kim Thomas was introduced to Wikieducator in 2007 thanks to Otago Polytechnic’s dedication to Open Learning Resources. Leigh Blackall tagged her “Hortykim” and was a huge inspiration, mentor and co-conspirator to launch Otago Polytechnic’s first permaculture course. Twelve years on it is still her preferred zone for lesson plans that guide her and students through horticulture adventures where permaculture ethics and WikiEducator align to serve a global community.
