A few changes?
Hello Mozucat--

Could we add two subsections towards the end of the page?

-One: Banners

A. For the article(s):

B. For the student userpages:

-Two: Agendas [in case we do more workshops, which we probably will]
 * 10/8 Agenda [with link to Google Docs Agenda]

Cheers, --DrX (talk) 18:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, would it be okay to take out "Tips"? Unlike the rest of the stuff, they are not self- explanatory, so if we want to use this page for other folk, they may be a bit lost. I will include them in the agenda, of course. --DrX (talk) 10:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And, duh, I forgot: a subsection with a list for the usernames of people in the network. --DrX (talk) 11:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And now that I am creating the agenda, maybe add this link under Wikipedia Resources for Educators: Ideas for adding short video clips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Makes_Video  --DrX (talk) 11:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, so now I am being annoying, but I do not want to mess with your sandbox cause it's yours, so please forgive all the suggestions. Under Wikipedia Resources for Educators, what about adding a) a link to the Education program/FAQ; b) the list of latest courses and form for creating courses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Courses --DrX (talk) 12:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

For the hands-on part of the workshop
Hey Mozucat--

Here is the link to the wikipage with the "assignments" for our ten newbie Wikipedians (I ran out of ideas after the ten we have to have--if more people show up, we'll have to improvise stuff for them to edit): Education Program talk:CUNY, LaGuardia Community College/The Research Paper: Kindred (Spring). --DrX (talk) 15:57, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

What did you think of today's workshop? (10/8/2014)
Please leave us your feedback. We are particularly interested in your views of the following:

1. What did you find most interesting?
 * I love the idea that Students from different courses can work on similar projects, share information, and give each other encouragement Joydoc (talk) 20:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Doing work hands-on is always the most interesting part of any workshop for me but it was also useful to think about the many ways students and educators can participate.--DrJayk (talk) 17:21, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

2. What could use further clarification or follow up?
 * want to know how to send Wikilove Joydoc (talk) 20:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

3. What would you like to see in further workshops?
 * Detailed steps on how to introduce students to working on Wikipedia Joydoc (talk) 20:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Great job! Joydoc (talk) 20:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe discuss the common pitfalls or errors newbies make, and review sample grading rubrics --DrJayk (talk) 17:21, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Workshop Feedback for 10/8/14

 * The workshop was fabulous - I look forward to using Wikipedia this semester. The hands-on portion was particularly helpful, but the extra materials (especially the tutorials) are much appreciated. Perhaps future workshops could continue the conversation started today (more focus on milestones, assessment, and alternate models of assignments timelines, etc.). Thanks to the presenters!

 * Great job! I appreciate the Wikilove and coffee! Joydoc (talk) 20:34, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

What do you think of today's workshop? 2/3/2015
Wikipedia is easy to use, collaboration is powerful, and generally, it's fun!--Hclagcc2014 (talk) 21:15, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Glad I got to take a couple of baby steps with editing Wikipedia today.--Professornm (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

It was an interesting workshop. The hands on portion was especially helpful.--Drjfunk (talk) 21:19, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Introduction to Wikipedia
This was a great session. We learned about adding content and links, and sharing information on Wikipedia. Thank you, Ann Matsuuchi (Library), Ximena Gallardo (English), and Richard Knipel (PHAROS).--Rbhika (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

SWAG Editathon (3/25/15)
--DrX (talk) 16:19, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Historical wiki-classes timeline
I've moved some information on past wiki-classes to this project: Wikipedia NYC College Educators Network/Classes Timeline. It would also be good to add more for the current semester, and maybe we should ditch the old Pennsylvania stuff.--Pharos (talk) 04:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, I've nixed Pennsylvania, and added some courses for the current semester at the section for #2015-Spring (let me know if I've missed any!).--Pharos (talk) 17:51, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

User Box
We need a userbox! HullIntegrity \ talk / 15:16, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
