Wikipedia:
The Free Encyclopedia "The salt in the educational stew"
Wikipedia is a collaborative project to produce a complete encyclopedia
from scratch. At first glance this site is useful for teachers wanting
to use authentic assessment in their classrooms. Students or groups
of students can easily become "expert" in a narrow area and submit articles
to the encyclopedia. This use is suitable for content classes and
language arts classes across the curriculum. Classes could start
by editing existing articles. While practising grammar and spelling
and reviewing content, they would be making a real contribution to the
community. Importantly, they would learn that you can always edit
and improve writing. The site is vehicle for integrating language
arts objectives into all curriculum areas. Community practice is
to accept article stubs (narrowly focused or incomplete articles.)
They expect that others will build on these articles and over time comprehensive
discussions of the topic (a perfect article) will evolve. [The opening
quote is mine. The uses of this site in education are limited only
by the imagination.]
