Wikipedia: How Instructors Can Use This Technology As A Tool In The Classroom
This study by Jerri Lynn Hogg, Ph.D.School of Psychology, Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara, CA, USA reviews how Wikipedia IS being used in the classroom. I love this quote by Edward Erikson, ““Wikipedia is always present in the classroom—whether it’s invited to attend or not.” The conclusion, “It is time to embrace Wikipedia as an important information provider and one of the innovative learning tools in the educators’ toolbox”As for me, in my classroom, I encourage students to use wikipedia with wisdom – looking at dead text and going to the original sources cited in wikipedia as those they should cite instead of the Wikipedia article itself. Many articles have quite an excellent collection of backup articles behind them that you can see at the bottom of the page.
