Have you ever wanted to use Wikipedia in your classroom? Have you been asked to help instructors with Wikipedia assignments? Do you just think Wikipedia is great and want to help students and/or instructors use it better? Laura Quilter, Copyright and Information Policy Librarian, will include an overview of Wikipedia’s principles, an introduction to the mechanics of editing pages and communicating with others, and an overview of how the Wikipedia Education program works. Following the initial training, there will be an edit-a-thon for hands-on experience. Areas of focus this year include topics relating to sustainability and Native activism, such as the recent DAPL protests. Refreshments will be served.
