Wikipedia & Wikis

For the first time ever I contributed to a Wikipedia page. You can see what the site looked like beforehand:


And then the changes that I made, which included making an entire new section for Education:

Writing on the site energized me and made me feel empowered. I was the expert.

I can see how much students would enjoy adding to this site as well. Its not often that students are seen as the authority or expert on something. How motivating for them to get to tell the world just what exactly they know!

I also created a wiki for my Spanish classes all the way from Kindergarten to grade 8. Its still just the bare bones but if you're interested to check it out go to Espanol-de-Dansville!
