WikiSketch Lessons: Teachers training

In September we have continued with the project called WikiSketch Lessons, with two new users, teachers of Macedonian language and literature from the gymnasium Josip Broz - Tito. They created seven new articles in the field of grammar and phonetics as well as literature related topics. This training was the initial introductory lesson on the request of the teachers due to their plan to introduce and establish Wikipedia within their schooling program. Training will continue in several more sessions in the following months with the teachers and their students who will apply to participate in the Wikipedia section in their Macedonian language and literature classes. Nevertheless, during this month Wikisketch lessons have continued regularly with other participants such as user who had participated in WikiLeague project, who broadened his knowledge by contributing with creation of 2 new articles about cities in Italy and Slovenia.
