Abstract
Writing Wikipedia offers undergraduate and graduate writers, both native speakers and ELLs, an authentic audience providing dynamic feedback; opportunities to collaborate on meaningful writing; practice with summarizing, paraphrasing, and sourcing; and the opportunity to practice and learn grammar and vocabulary. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn and practice strategies for using Wikipedia—and the power of Web 2.0—in the classroom.
