I think we should’ve used the blogs a lot more during the semester.” Students’ Experiences “ This project helped me better understand how to break the articles down and organize the material to better understand it “ “ It makes students think about a similar idea in several ways (researching characters, understanding the ideas and thoughts of those people when putting those thoughts together in the dialogue, and finally acting out their characters creates a personal understanding of those people).” “ The thing I liked best about Wikipedia assignment was that I got to have my scholarship on a subject on the internet for everyone to learn from. Since it was written by me I knew that it would be as objective as possible since this is what historians try to do.”
