hello Wikimedia education enthusiasts!
Next month I am giving a presentation to a group of my colleagues, who are Adult Basic /Literacy Educators in Canada. My presentation is titled "Wikipedia – the overlooked and misunderstood resource". The presentation is scheduled for 1.5 hours but since it's the last presentation of the day nobody will mind if it's a bit shorter ;-)
Here are the main points I want to get across:
- there are several myths about the role of Wikipedia in academic work &
I want to dispel these
- academically rigorous ways to use Wikipedia do exist & we'll talk
about these
- learning to navigate Wikipedia provides a "teachable moment" to
educate your students about academic integrity, a 'neutral point of view', and the reliability of information.
- Is knowledge just a collection of 'facts'? Or is knowledge something
negotiated? Let's discuss our own beliefs about how knowledge is constructed, validated, shared, and "owned."
Here's my question: do any of you have presentations (e.g. Powerpoints, Slideshare etc.) related to these topics that you'd be willing to share with me? Or just any ideas, suggestions, or comments that could work in my presentation?
My apologies if this is an inappropriate forum for such a request.
