Teaching Students How to Use Wikipedia
Wikipedia is the world's largest online encyclopedia. It has over five million articles in English and more than thirty million articles in all languages. Wikipedia is a free, open-source, collaborative, multilingual Internet encyclopedia supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 and since then it has grown to be one of the most popular websites on the internet.
Wikipedia is a great source of information for students who are looking for an easy way to access information that they need for their assignments or projects. But many students find it difficult to navigate through Wikipedia Research Experts and find what they are looking for due to a lack of experience with using this type of resource. To help students overcome this obstacle, teachers should teach them how to use Wikipedia effectively by giving them hands-on practice with using this resource as well as providing them with guidance on how to use it effectively.
