<br />
I gave a presentation to the annual NSW English Teachers' Association conference loosely based on the fact that Wikipedia is <br />
now an optional HSC text. You can search for the full details from the association's website here: http://www.englishteacher.com.au/<br />
<br />
There were about 20 teachers attending the workshop which lasted for an hour. Rather than trying to give a detailed discussion of how Wikipedia can be studied in the context of the HSC I did three things: a "why you need to know", an "anatomy of a page" and some examples of how WP can be used to start conversations in class (such as how to be critical of texts).<br />
<br />
As an outcome of this presentation I have learned that there are a couple of schools intending on taking the WP module at the HSC for their students in the next year. Most notably a catholic school in Maitland (near Newcastle). I promised those teachers that were interested in introducing WP into their school - either as a module for study or just as a way to discuss things with their students (such as how to be critical of texts, how to write collaboratively etc.) that WM-Au would try to help however we could. I gave them our website and I have every intention of going to visit these schools if invited to talk to staff and/or students. Hopefully several of us would be able to go on these kinds of visits.</div>JamesR
