Course Teams

For the Writing Wikipedia Articles course, students will divide themselves into teams of about four.

Do this:

  • Introduce yourself to your teammates, by writing a couple sentences about yourself below. Copy the format of the instructors' entries to insert your username, etc. You might consider addressing (A) What are you hoping to get out of this course? and (B) Have you ever edited an article on Wikipedia (or another wiki)?
  • Connect with your team. It's up to you how extensively you want to interact, and what tools you want to use. We suggest the following as a minimum; but feel free to explore other options if you are finding your teammates helpful!
    • Connect initially by email; you can email another user by visiting clicking his or her name, and then clicking "email this user" in the lefthand navigation.
    • Choose a team name, and replace "Team X" with your name!
    • Every week, share something you've done, or learned about, in your homework with each other.
    • As you get more comfortable on Wikipedia, use each other's user talk pages. You can also use Twitter, IRC, or even get together on your own time using a tool like Google Hangout.
  • Consider this section your team's own space to use as you see fit. If you can think of something helpful to to add to this page…do it!
