== My  experience  with   Wikipedia==

I am working  as  a  primary  school  teacher   since  10 years. When I  started  browsing   web,I  was   almost  blind.I was  not aware  of   any  rule , that  I was  supposed to  follow.I  was  reading  any  thing  from any where.I  was   ignorent   about  the  authenticity  of  the  content which   I was   searching  and   even  about  the  different  kinds  of   Licences.

One   fine  day   when  I  attended   the ICT   training , I   was  taught   about  the  various  ways  of   browsing  web.It  is  here  I  learnt  about  Wikipedia.Then   we   were  asked  to  explore more  about it.A  whole  new window  of   knowledge  opened   before  us.It   has  articles  on  almost   every  important  thing .It also  provides   links to  related  pages   with  addition  information .I  felt  very  happy   to  see that  it  is a  non -profit   organisation doing such  a  wonderful  work.I even   used Wikimedia commans  to   download  various   media  resources   ,which   were   copy   right  free.All   these  I  can   use   in  my classrooom  transactions.

As a  part  of  one of  our assignments  during  ICT training,  we  were  asked  to  open   an   account   in  Wikipedia.I  opened   an  account  in  Wikipedia.I  am  feeling  proud  to  be  a  part of it. Wkipedia has  articles with  authentic  information,  on   which  we can  rely. We can  even  write  our  own  article. It  even   allows   us   to  edit  the   existing  articles   if  we  want   to  contribute. It is  a rich  experience  for  me, where  I can   enrich  my knowledge as  well  as even  share  my   learning  experiences  with  others  around  the  world.I  hope  this  article   will  inspire   other   internet   users  to  know   about    Wikipedia. Thank you!
