We were invited to have a workshop at Technovanza,
VJTI festival.
The total session strength was 15 students. The students were very curious to know how the editing does take place. The session included
* Elaborate discussion on the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars
* Editing the actual Wiki page. The selection was based on interest in the workshop
* Creating a new Wiki Page. Post explaining the modalities of creating
the page the selection was based on interest in the workshop
Common Queries included
* How does Wikipedia run?
* Who manages and
maintains the Wikipedia?
At the same time, students who attended the
session were completely new editing, so they were very happy to know get
a demonstration of editing an article. Also at the end of the session
they surely promised to try their hand at editing on their favourite
subjects.
Was also given a small memento with the photograph of VJTI college in it, thanking for the session.
Thank you for the opportunity! I would encourage everyone on the list to have these workshops, cause they are very enlightening for students who were just copy pasting content from Wikipedia!
