21. Project 2: Wikipedia Article Several after school sessions were required to review and collate material gathered from old scrapbooks kept by the two schools. One student typed on the screen while other students filled in the time line. Two students eventually compiled the timeline into a text entry and it was submitted by the librarian. The first submission was targeted with several concerns by the Wikipedia staff. Since editing cannot occur at school, (functions of Wikipedia are blocked by the county filter; one can only view Wikipedia documents) the librarian reviewed the article with students and made the changes at home.
