I have alway allowed my students to use wikepedia as source of imformation or to make research. What I recommend them is to revise and make the content their own...... if the copy and paste the information on a blank word page they  will have accomplished to the task without learning a single word. So we must learn our students to select information and make it the  starting point for their works. Thanks for the tip about creating a book. I din't know.

I use the information from Wikipedia now and then. I like it that this site contains information in different languages. Students often refer to Wikipedia when they make reports on different subjects. I think it is quite reliable.

It's a great and easy-to-use tool for students. What I also do is, I urge my students to crosscheck the results with those of other sites, to make sure that the specific piece of info they got is what they should have. I also tell them not to forget to mention the source they got it from

# data[].attributes.body
Wikipedia is a great tool for teaching basic principles on school research and prepare the students for a more critical approach to using information.

It can be used creatively. Students could create a page on a national theme based on written and oral traditions, such as old manuscripts or lullabies and mourning songs. Writing articles in a less widely used language , such as modern Greek, may lead to translations and keep up oral traditions from older generations. For example, interviews by refugees can be written down to support the impact of a historical phenomenon.

Overall, it can fulfill all basic competence skills mention before if it is used more than a reference encyclopedia

# data[].attributes.body
I sometimes use wikipedia, but very often the language / content on wikipedia is hard for my pupils to understand, and its better to find a site / information that is easier to understand for pupils. Often they go to wikipedia mostly for easy facts and pictures about subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
My students use it very often for finding informations for a topic that we have discussed in the classroom.

Wikipedia can be used not only for gattering informations ,but also for encouraging young people to create valuable content . Group of young activist from youth club in Leskovac created fantastic Guide through historical monuments in our region, and Wikipedia helped them finantialy to promote it!

Actually I do not use Wikipedia at school, simply because there is no need in what I'm doing. But I like it and I usually use it for my personal purposes. I found the book option very useful!

I remember when i went to school and at home we had enciclopedia and if somebody make a copy of enciclopedia instead of searching and elaborate the informations we found, the teacher told us it was a bad job.it's the same in the digital version of the problem!!!!

Unfortunately, the students at my school don't have a really creative approach to using Wikipedia. They just copy and paste the information sometimes without even having the slightest idea what most of the words mean. So, making the most of Wikipedia is something I should work on with them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I've not used Wikipedia much for my students. Maybe I take a new look at it regarding to maths.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very sceptical in using Wikipedia, especially because the schooltext book publisher I has been working with for several years didn't accept Wikipedia references for the educational materials I was producing. The statements presented by Ollie are so convincing that I'll have a deep look in this content resource!

# data[].attributes.body
My students use Wikipedia, although they don't take the time to compare the information they find in a website to data that is available from other sites.Still, I find wikipedia useful because you can fin all sort of information there and that's precious.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it funny that some schools ban Wikipedia. In my opinion, Wikipedia is a good source of information and I recommend it to my students. I have learnt many new options on how to use it from this video and therefore can't add any new ones I can't wait to pass them on to my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Wikipedia is a great resource and my students use it a lot. The problem is that they seem to be unable to check the reliability of the information they get. They just copy and paste everything they find, without any further thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I often use Wikipedia for my own purposes and I help my students in using it. I like it because , while reading about a subject, you can also look for other information correlated to the first one.

Of course the better method is to compare its information with other websites to receive a more complete knowing about something.

# data[].attributes.body
I use Wikipedia and I let my students to use it. The only thing I recommend them is to compare information with others sites.

# data[].attributes.body
Wikipedia is a great source of information and my students use it for their researches, but I say them to compare every information with other sources to be sure that information are correct. People thinks Wikipedia is not so good and says there are a lot of specific sites with more accurate information. Even if it can be true, I think Wikipedia is the best encyclopaedia because it’s continuously updated, it’s multi-language, and there’s quite attention to reliability.

# data[].attributes.body
My students very often use information  which comes from  wikipedia. I usually face the problem that students don’t  filter information (there are many wasted information in projects that students make) but the reliability of information is also an issue.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to create my students a topic that interests them to sources from their school books. Be rich with various reliable sources. I'll do it soon. First of all, I have to design a good lesson plan.

Students use Wikipedia without "precautions". They start to copy and so they write the same work without improve their critical thinking. It's important help them in their search on Wikipedia comparing the informations

# data[].attributes.body
The klick on the Wikipeadia link is always the first thing my students do if preparing a presentation or content for sharing. I don't blame them but encourage them to use different sites to their research. I have never encouraged students to add information to Wikipedia. Would be great if there were an opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
I use ikipedia but didn't know about some tings we've heard in this video and I find them very useful

# data[].attributes.body
I use wikipedia becase have a lot of information in a short time, my students too. But in class my students compare infirmation of the differents sites.

My students use it for to create books

# data[].attributes.body
I use wikipedia because it is up to date and easy and above all it' s a timesaver for me. It suits me that it is accurate because I am always crosschecking to be sure about my sources. The tabs and the footnotes as well as the units make it a good activity on how to learn to search and see what to look for accuracy.

# data[].attributes.body
I know te information on Wikipedia is not the most reliable one, but in the great part of the cases I used ideas from the site, they were accurate and correct. I compare the information, anyway, with other materials, if it is something really important.

# data[].attributes.body
I love wikipedia and its sisters, but didn't know you can use it as a book. I agree with Ollie - banning is not a solution, the main thing is know how to use and check credibility of the encyclopedia.

My students usually use Wikipedia as the basic source of information for their works, but generally they don't really know how to use it properly. They copy and paste everything, without critic thinking
I suggest them to use other sources and to check the reliability

I must admit I never use wikipedia as I prefer going to the original sites. I even don't like when my son and daughter use it to copy and paste but perharps I should start making my mind....

# data[].attributes.body
I often
use Wikipedia – whenever I need a set of information about something because
it is the fastest way to get it. When I write a research paper, I always use
the information I find in the books, though. I was warned a few years ago about
Wikipedia not being correct especially in the field of medical facts.

# data[].attributes.body
I search on Wikipedia rather othen, although I know it is created by ordinary people and that anyone can add information. If I have doubts on the quality of the information, I double check using a different site.

# data[].attributes.body
I use Wikipedia quite often, especially for quick reference. I also encourage my students to use it, but only for research, and not for copy-paste purposes, as it quite often happens. The fact that the info is available in so many languages makes Wikipedia an even more valuable source of information. Its sisters are also helpful to both students and teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
As I teach Portuguese,when students make a research (about the author of a book they read, …), they show me their notes. If the text or the facts are not adequate/correct it’s a great opportunity to improve their writing skills in taking notes or in composing. So most (not always!) of times Wikipedia, among others, may be a good resource.

# data[].attributes.body
I use wikipedia quite a lot to search for specific information in different languagesbut I hate it when students copy - past content from it.

very nice and useful kind of social wiki (reliable I suppose)

My students use Wikipedia regularly, but they are really careful not to plagiarise and are very critical about it. I've tried writing articles with my students on wiki pages, but I guess they are still too young or not motivated enough to do them on regular basis. An idea that comes to mind is why not use wiki pages instead of homework essays and make students collaborate more.

# data[].attributes.body
It's very interesting to write a wiki with students. I think i'll do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Wikipedia is quite good... But it is only the first step. We should encourage our students to keep on searching beyond Wikipedia.

I use wikipedia in my lessons. Sometimes i give students research work and they firstly look it up on wikipedia.

# data[].attributes.body
Very useful information about Wikipedia in the video. I personally use Wikipedia frequently and use it also in class with pupils. In general I will not let them copy and past, but write in own words what they have learned og read on Wikipedia. I also encourage them to check with at least one other webpage to se if the information seems right.

# data[].attributes.body
I like Wikipedia and use it in my private life most of all...but in fact I didn't know many of the useful skills you showed us in this video!

My students use it...I agree that we have to teach not to block! We should be "openmind" and undertand the new methods that our students have to search for something (that I didn't have in my childness)...we have to teach them to use it properly and not to consider it "forbidden".

# data[].attributes.body
My students sometimes use Wikipedia as the basic source of information for their projects. It is very useful tool and easy to handle. Nevertheless I always tell them to check the reliability of the information looking to other sources too.

# data[].attributes.body
I often advise my students to look for information about a writer, a book, a work of art or a film in Wikipedia because I find it quite trustworthy about these topics. Moreover, although the translation from a language into another is not literal, they can find information both in their own language, Italian, and in the language they’re learning, English. This helps the weakest students and make them feel more confident. I've found the 'create a book' function mentionedin the video very interesting!

# data[].attributes.body
Wikipedia is unfortunately democratic: for any new content the people involved in editing vote for the article. They spend few seconds to verify only by using the net the information about.

Knowledge is not democratic: culture is made by effort of experts that know specifically a context and a little piece of the world. And they spend life to understand the world.

Reliability is what we have to teach to student, being skeptical about cheap knowledge.

Ok wikipedia is up to date, but essentially we have to trust the organizers that does not sign their articles: they have nice nicknames and fake pictures. It is like I go to the class saying I am dracula with a mask, teaching the good quality of blood.

I am sorry for wikipedia supporters...

# data[].attributes.body
Usually my students use Wikipedia as primary source. To be honest, I do not like it very much. The problem is that therydo not check bibliography or if ther do, my students are not always able to understand its quality. So I prefer they look for some topic first on some trustworthy sites they have been told by me, they can check wikipedia as well. Anyway, I agree with Ollie: most of the time, wikipedia is better than many teacher believe.

# data[].attributes.body
Usually my students start from wikipedia to have a basis about some knowledge and then do a more oriented search. Portuguese wikipedia has a lots of faults and subjects to be created so usually I prompt my students to use it in english.

Indeed wiki is a great tool, I used it to promote collaborative learning with my students about Darwin work. (http://repositorio.ul.pt/bitstream/10451/6252/1/ulfpie040001_tm.pdf)

I didn't trust on Wikipedia until I knew the way people can referee n article. One of my friends showed me his profile and the way he can modify a post and he told me he is very careful in order to not receive negative feedback.

I am also surprised that Wikipedia is banned from some schools. THe most important thing when you are searching for information you need more than one source. It is also very good that the students can be a part of the creator by writing thier own articles. I have never used the tabs or the revision history page...

# data[].attributes.body
My students use wikipedia a lot and they find it easy to copy all information. I tell them to check if information is accurate and strongly urge them to use some information for their work and not copy it. There is also the greek version called "βικιπαίδεια" which they also use.

# data[].attributes.body
With my primary school students also use Wikipedia for our small research.

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher I have experienced schools where wiki was both used and banned, from in-school use. I still told the students to use the source, I also informed them, that wiki although can contain errors, is often the quickest corrected medium on the net. Remember also you can be a Wikipedian!

# data[].attributes.body
My students use wikipedia a lot. Mi main concern is that not only they are not able to determine the reliability of the article chosen but sometimes they are not able to actually understand whether the article illustrates the topic they are really looking for. I will use the tips offered in the video to try and make my students more aware of what they are doing on Wikipedia.

# data[].attributes.body
I encourage my students to use Wikipedia.

# data[].attributes.body
When I were in high school, it was prohibited to use Wikipedia because it is written by everybody. Because of that, I had to find ways to get information different ways and now i barely use Wikipedia. I just think there are other different and more reliable sources than Wikipedia.

# data[].attributes.body
I use Wikipedia a lot, and my students do it too. They know that it is written by everybody. It is very interesting website and I will keep using it. I might not know everything about it but it is never too late to learn some new things.

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t understand why some teachers think that wikipedia is unrelyable. Maby they think it is a to fast way of getting information and that the students should be searching the internet from different scources. This is also good, but I think that teachers should get to know the Wikipedia better. There are some differences in languages - on the English pages there is often more information than in Finnish or Swedish, and the students should learn to search in different languages as well. Pictures are under the CC-license and easy to access.

My students use regularly Wikipedia for there ppt's and projects. They know from me that the had to verify thinks with other website among their subject. But most of the time Wikipedia is ge quick and reliable encyclopedy

We often use Wikipedia during our ICT lessons, because of the accuracy and the continuous updating about technology. But on the other hand the students must be used to search also other sources, e.g. the tech magazines, and to compare different sources.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't use it during my classes, but my students use it for all kinds of projects. And I must say that they don't really know how to use it properly. We're gonna have to work on that.

# data[].attributes.body
I always use Wikipedia for my personal or school researches. I find it very handy and useful and less boring other encyclopedias. My students love it to find out news and info we need for particular educational projects and the tags are really functional to skip from an info to another. As a language teacher I like to use it in other languages and push my students to do the same. This prevents the copy and paste mode and helps the reading/comprehension of other languages. Moreover they can always switch on the Italian version of the page and understand the content better. I find this exercise really interesting!

# data[].attributes.body
My pupils love wikipedia and copy/paste everything without critic thinking. I know it's difficult (they're 11-13 years old), and usually I suggest them to us other encyclopedias (trecccani or de agostini online) because of "sure information". In any case, I say that it's important to write the source.
After this video, I'd like to propose to create or edit content in a wikipedia page, together or an exercise on how to evaluate information contents from any public source.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you once more Ollie.

I advise to use Wiki as follow: Use it to find information, then sort fundamental elements for your talk /research. Check you have done a good job about your key-issues: Explain to your parents or friends the topic you are working on: if it is not clear enough, or filled with petty information, revise it and improve it. I think it a good tool to train on synthesis skills.

# data[].attributes.body
My students love wikipedia, and copy-paste option, so sometimes i have 5 - 10 similar textes in french... Sometimes they don't understand nothing, so now I tell them to not use wikipedia,and I explain that it's not useful to do homework if they don't understand the texte.

But in general, in Wikipedia we can find a lot of information and facts.

# data[].attributes.body
I have already used Wikipedia in my lessons but I always warn my student to use it as a unique source... but sure I'll try the option of crating a book ! it's a useful tool I think!

# data[].attributes.body
Students often use wikipedia and even parents tell them "you search on wikipedia" but what is important is that students think on credibility of news in wikipedia and they learn to read critically what they found

As Ollie I like so much wikipedia but I didn’t know the tabs that are really useful. My students use wikipedia a lot and I have never blocked them but generally I tell them to search into other websites too

I sometimes suggest my students to do some searches, most of them use wikipedia, but without selection or critic thinking. I am thinking about a lesson only about this 7 interesting points of wikipedia. It could be interesting to try to create or edit content in a wikipedia page, together.

# data[].attributes.body
My students use it without telling them this. My recommendation is to start from Wikipedia but to check the sources of chosen articles

# data[].attributes.body
I always try to have my students search for facts in Wikipedia. Of course these facts have always to be compared with other information taken from other sites or books.

# data[].attributes.body
I use it to find original sources and videos / films on historical events, poets and writers etc. The greek wikipedia has great references to the archive of greek national television. Another thong would be to compare information on different language articles of the same historical figure. Maybe from the differences - if any are found - we could learn more about the difference in historical views and mentality of different wikipedia article writers. Maybe we could write an article about that on wikipedia! Thus we could also take our language skills to a higher level!

We use Wikipedia in our classroom. This website content interesting information and facts.
