This is a Wikipedia Talk page. Here students and/or teachers can have educational conversations that can be spell-checked and cited. Although it's more of a discussion group than a instant-message conversation, Wikipedia Talk opens up many doors for teachers and students alike.

As a teacher, Wikipedia is a valuable resource in education and I would definitely allow it. This is because Wikipedia is a great first start for research and learning the difference between plagiarism for students. Here in the talk page itself, students can edit an article and collaborate on specific topics at hand, all under the supervision of the teacher.

The citation tool is a very useful tool in the classroom and on Wikipedia itself. Here is a brief example of a citation that is very easy to use, and it isn't limited to only websites:

Wiki talk pages extremely encourage positive collaboration and netiquette whilst working. Wikipedia encourages signatures at the end of every post.

One of the most important things about Wikipedia is that it is easily accessible. No account creation required and completely free. Also, Wikipedia is on most major handheld devices, allowing ease of access to it within the classroom itself.

Together with students and teachers, everyone can work alongside one another to share information and the make the online world a brighter, friendlier, and smarter place to collaborate, with the help of Wikipedia.
