Ages 12 and under present a potential legal trap in the U.S., so I’d recommend using the CD version of Wikipedia for grades K-8. Rob Schnautz From: Asaf Bartov Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2014 1:16 PM To: Wikimedia Mailing List ; Wikimedia Education Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Teaching Critical Reading through Wikipedia Hi. Does anyone know of specific materials developed for teaching critical reading skills (either in K-12 or higher education) *through* reading Wikipedia? I vaguely remember coming across some, but don't remember the details. I'm thinking about things like "how to identify bias", "how to distill the argument from a paragraph", "what are weasel words", logical fallacies, etc. Thanks, A. -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
