How can we improve what we get from Wikipedia?

1. Stop struggling - Wikipedia is here to stay2. Wiki can be used to do uninspiring homework – so ....

change the homework – make them think!3. The real mistakes are the fault of the person who

leaves them there.4. Wikipedia is complex – Shouldn’t there be a simpler

version? There is!5. My school worries about censorship and bandwidth6. How can we use the dozens of languages?7. Wikipedia will mark your student’s homework and

give then independent advice to improve their information literacy.
