Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Death and Post-mortem of Indian Education Program pilot
Hey Guys, I am Wasim, Campus Ambassador at the India Education Program. I have been reading the mails from the wiki lovers about the so called DEATH and POST MORTEM of the India Education Program. It feels terrible to hear such words but on the other hand we are going to accept this and learn from the same. As we all know the program was a pilot program and it is just a BABY, at this stage we all make mistakes. - About the student selection in future I think it is better to keep it optional so that we get more QUALITY instead of QUANTITY. - We want some more participation from the Teachers, so that the articles are checked regularly. - Online Ambassadors need to be more ACTIVE so that the burden on CA's is reduced to some extent. - Planning needs to be done as far as the Article selection is concerned to avoid unnecessary copy paste. Talking about the involvement, it is voluntary and we need to step up and take the responsibility to make it successful. If we just keep complaining about the things like *we had no idea of what to do*, then I don't think the program is going to work with your support. Sometimes you need to lead and take up the challenge, as it is rightly said by someone *RESPONSIBILITY IS ALWAYS TAKEN - NEVER GIVEN.* * * To be honest we have learnt a lot from the program and we are sure to work on the* delta's (Δ) .* Also if you guys can appreciate the fraction of work we have done it would be motivating and in future we would be better than now. We dared to think out of the box and had the courage to stand in front of 1000 students and urged them to write on Wikipedia. There are some things which cannot be experienced by sitting at home. We were present right there to experience the feeling of pride and victory in the student eyes when he was able to write a paragraph on Wikipedia, that really matters in a pilot program. Criticizing Ideas demotivates everyone, and It gives an impression to the participants that their Ideas will get them into trouble. The thing is wackiest ideas are the most creative. *Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. * * * *Thanks Regards,* *Wasim* * * * * ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
