hey Maria , well , you are surely right , however , is there anyone here from German in this group , I heared that German has made a school policy to require the students to use wikipedia in their assessment .
I am a teacher from China , I dream one day Chinese students can get access to wikiepedia , in one of classes I am teaching ( primary school ) the kids here are copying information to my winter assignment instead of creating something , I am also againist the mere information consumption ,instead of creation , but I think German is doing something right , what others think of this ? I also dream one day wikieducator can support Chinese character for both teachers and students . Leo 2009/2/11, Maria Droujkova <[email protected]>: > > I think it's a really bad idea.
