Want to see the first televised English-language news story about #Wikipedia? According to Jimmy Wales, this 2003 CNN story was the first televised news item he saw about Wikipedia on American TV.

It also happens to be about my university class where 80 students edited Wikipedia articles about Hong Kong, the first classroom assignment of its kind in a college setting.

CW: Wikipedia, Once Shunned, Now Embraced in the Classroom

Nice Inside Higher Ed piece to counter the mythology that professors ban the use of #Wikipedia.

"Professors who incorporate Wikipedia-editing assignments into coursework enhance their students’ digital literacy skills while broadening their own roles—from educating college students to educating society."
