One of the things I'm interested in involves understanding how Wikipedia (the most popular site in the world built on the MediaWiki software package) operates, particularly in comparison to M3P and our plans for it.

Wikipedia in the Classroom

On Wednesday 5 January 2011 I attended a webinar organized by Educause called Wikipedia in the Classroom: Changing the Way Teachers and Students Use Wikipedia. [1]

The session was presented by Annie Lin [2] [3] [4] [5]

Here are some related links and resources from that session:

• enwp.org/WP:SUP - Wikipedia School and University Projects
• bookshelf.wikimedia.org - Wikimedia Bookshelf (CONTAINS RESOURCES AS PDF)
• Wikipedia:CAMPUS - Info on/for Campus Ambassadors
• Wikipedia resources from Educause

• #EduLive on Twitter - worth a look...but may become irrelevant later
