Wikipedia in Schools

Session style: 
Presentation

Wikipedia and its sister projects have a large amount of content that can be useful for teachers. This session could cover:

- using Wikipedia content in class notes etc - what's available and how should I cite?

- encouraging your students to use Wikipedia for their homework

- help! My school's access to Wikipedia is blocked - what should I do?

- child-friendly static offline versions of Wikipedia

- anything else the participants would like

I am the secretary of Wikimedia UK, the local organisation set up to promote Wikipedia and the related projects in the UK.
