Taking Your Student from Information Searcher to Wikipedian - Campus Technology | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it

"W. Gardner Campbell reminds us that in the early days of the World Wide Web, developers hoped to build a platform where information is not merely stored and searched — it would ultimately be created in an interactive, linked, and connected environment.

We can see bits of this future unfolding today. Here, CT asks Campbell about a current teaching and learning strategy in which students create and publish their own contributions to Wikipedia articles on the open Web — taking us at least one step closer to that original vision of the Web by moving our students from information searchers to true Wikipedians. Will your students experience this forward-looking education practice? Find out why it is getting much easier for faculty to make sure they will."
