Last summer I ran a "Computer Camp" with 5th to 8th graders. Over the course of a week they created content on our Milford Town Library, Milford Travels Wiki. The students had to find factual information about a city, state or country, from a print or web source, summarize and cite the content for the wiki. To then let them personalize the page, they were able to add a story of their visit to the place with photos and an original drawing which was scanned onto the wiki. Check it out here:

I got the wiki software from wikispaces through Web Junction!

Has anyone read about the recent Wikipedia scandal involving an editor misrepresenting his credentials (link is below)? Do you think this type of scandal hurts the reliability of wikipedia? Or is it irrelevant, especially considering you don't theoretically need any credentials to contribute, and its reliability is based on people checking each others' entries? I'm just curious to get other people's take on this.
