Wikipedia in the classroom! OREnsuring 21st
Century Fluency

• I make them write a Wikipedia entry on any topic
  from European history that they want (or to
  substantially edit a stub). Then they submit that
  entry to the entire class for review and everyone
  in class is encouraged to edit the entries
  written by their peers. Finally, at the end of
  the semester the student authors have to review
  the history of what happened to their entries and
  write a paper in which they discuss what happened
  to those entries. In this way they learn more
  about the information resource they rely on so
  much.

Reliability?

• If an article does not provide citations, then
  it may or may not be reliable and a reader should
  use their own judgment. Students should never use
  information in Wikipedia for formal purposes
  (such as school essays) until they have verified
  and evaluated the information based on external
  sources. For this reason, Wikipedia, like any
  encyclopedia, is a great starting place for
  research but not always a great ending place.
