Steve,

I think that showing the students how to edit and contribute to Commons will be difficult since we'll need a decent internet connection to successfully do that. I'm not sure what is expected from us, but I thought that I was supposed to make a presentation on Wikipedia and show them some of the projects that they can join (such as Wiki takes Nairobi, students clubs and campus ambassadors).
