Wikipedia:School and university projects/ITESM Campus Toluca/Mentors

New Semester, new victims.... er.... students!

Registration for the teachers' course Im teaching closes Monday Jan 28. I certainly wont have the numbers I had last semester but the contributions these students will make will be more substantial. I learned from last time to have students start contributing SOMETHING in some way to Wikipedia as soon as possible, even if they haven't learned all the protocols. So those of you who want to help out should see action a whole lot sooner than last time.

Ill have the student's usernames up hopefully by Tues or Wednesday of next week. Thelmadatter (talk) 00:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to be a mentor to those who really need it, and not some prankster.
