Wikipedia in the Classroom: Resource List

You’re teaching with Wikipedia; you’re thinking about teaching with Wikipedia – either way, here’s a list of useful resources. Is there something that you’ve found particularly helpful that I should add here? Let me know and I’ll get it up ASAP.

• Wikipedia’s “Welcome to Wikipedia,”  School and University Projects page, “How to Use Wikipedia as a Teaching Tool,” “Education Case Studies,” and “Education Program Handouts.”
• Information on Wikipedia’s “Neutral Point of View” and verifiability and citation standards.
• My own post on skipping the review process (which is aimed at other audiences).
• Adrianne Wadewitz’s Intro to Wikipedia video (1 hour, wonderful, shot at Pitzer College)
• Adrianne Wadewitz, Anne Ellen Geller, Jon Beasley-Murray essay “Wiki-hacking: Opening up the academy with Wikipedia”
• Liz Losh’s interview of Adrianne Wadewitz on effective teaching with Wikipedia and Losh’s example “warm up” assignment.
• Indiana University Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning’s “Teaching with Wikipedia”
• If you’re planning to do a “edit-a-thon” rather than or as part of a class, the following resources are available:
  Wikipedia’s “How to run an edit-a-thon”
