I just found out about this list from Frank's blog posthttp://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/08/02/global-education-program-a%E2%80%93z/, and I'm happy to have finally found the place I was looking for! I have already met some of you in person in Boston, and I'm very excited about exchanging experiences and ideas with all of you.
For those of you whom I haven't met, my name is Juliana Bastos Marques, and I teach History at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro State (UNIRIOhttp://www.unirio.br). On Aug. 15th I'm starting a course on topics in Roman History and editing the Portuguese WP - for undergraduates, approx. 20 students. The state of History articles in WP:PT is still not so good, and frankly quite bad in some cases. As you may know, students from all levels do use that sort of material anyway, so my primary goal is to have them understand how to read sources more critically and improve them in a more adequate matter.
I'm blogging the steps in this initiative, so in the case anyone wants to try your Portuguese or test Google Translator, it's http://wikipedianauniversidade.blogspot.com/ - readership is still low, but I'm confident that the initiative will pay soon. As I've written there, I'm still worried because I have no Campus Ambassador whatsoever - the only guy who seemed interested doesn't reply to my emails. I think I'll have to do that part all by myself.
Greetings, Juliana.
