We were a bit enthusiastic in the last class, as you can see from the photos! Well, we learned much about the technological sides of teaching. Our respected Sir, Mr. Zohur Ahmed illustrated the usage of Wikipedia and introduced us with the ways of using Wikipedia for academic purpose, also we learned how to help other classmates through reading in the group chat! Everyone is our class are teaching professionals (at least most of them and me not being one of them) and there are sure a lot to learn from them. :)
So, yesterday, we actually learned a lot about the academic usefulness of Wikipedia and how it's use is being misunderstood by many teachers. Anyone can write in Wikipedia, it's true, but writing properly using the proper sources and carefully citing them are important too! We cannot simply copy paste an article in Wikipedia and just take the credit of our authorship. I have also learned that we cannot write or post any authentic or original post in Wikipedia, anything we write have to be from a source that has already been published. Seems like I learned a lot.
However, the assignments - that we got to create our own piece of Wiki writing will be a tough one, but I am sure, we will all succeed with our fabulous pieces of writings at the end of our Wikipedia submission! Correct me if I am wrong when all of us will be done, LOL. :)
