📚Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom📚

Hey Wa! Ever wondered how to use Wikipedia safely and effectively as a learning tool in class?

Join us for a 2-day hands-on session on Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom.
The Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom program promotes a critical engagement with Wikipedia that allows teachers to leverage its use as a pedagogical tool. Through a collaboratively-developed curriculum, teachers explore and reflect on the different features that make Wikipedia a valuable ally to their classroom practice. A set of complementing synchronous training sessions allows teachers to collaborate with experienced instructors and share their questions, learn from global experiences, and connect with like-minded peers.

📍 Venue: Wa Regional Library
📅 Date: Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th May, 2026
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM each day

Come learn, share, and connect with other educators who are bringing the world’s largest free encyclopedia into their classrooms the right way.
