"Wikipedia in the Classroom" - CUNY IT Conference 2009 - John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Dec. 4, 2009


 * Open Education at CUNY
 * What free resources online are not yet being fully explored by educators? How can we can develop new ways of teaching and creating content?
 * Students report a disconnect between classroom practices and integration of educational technology. See recent CDW study: http://newsroom.cdwg.com/features/feature-11-02-09.html
 * Wikipedia & Education - some common goals: free, community-driven, collaboration, citation, engagement, publicity...
 * We need to start thinking about making use of this highly public, freely accessible resource. Some examples:
 * School and University Projects - Suggested exercises, descriptions of current projects in a range of classes.
 * WikiProject Murder Madness and Mayhem - The University of British Columbia's class SPAN312 ("Murder, Madness, and Mayhem: Latin American Literature in Translation") contributed to Wikipedia during Spring 2008. The goals of this highly successful project were to bring a selection of articles on Latin American literature to featured article status (or as near as possible). By project's end, they contributed three featured articles and eight good articles. None of these articles was a good article at the outset; two did not even exist.
 * Wikiversity
 * Some general ideas for classroom usage:
 * Analysis of an entry relevant to course content.
 * Supply missing references/citations to a relevant entry.
 * Extra credit ideas: improve a problematic entry or create a needed one.
 * Start conversations on the role of encyclopedias, comparison of information sources, citation issues, print vs. digital, authority, truth...
