Jesuit Education is about being agents for change and fighting for social justice--it makes sense then that Fordham Educators are “Teaching with Wikipedia” and our students are becoming “Wikipedians.” This giant encyclopedia, with over 40,750,129 pages in English (and counting) should be leveraged in the classroom for its bank of knowledge and vibrant global community. Wikipedia is a teaching tool for exploring concepts such as public trust and open source. It’s also a valuable opportunity to develop critical thinking and research skills, increase media and digital literacy and do volunteer work for the public good.

Samantha Weald, Outreach Manager of the Wiki Edu Foundation, will be giving the afternoon keynote at Faculty Technology Day on May 22nd. We hope you will join us, please RSVP here:

"The web was designed for just this kind of collaboration. One does not need permission to make a hyperlink. Yet one does need "the confident insight, the authority of media-making" to create meaning out of those links. Such confidence and authority should be among the highest learning outcomes available to our students within what Mimi Ito and others have described as "connected learning.""
