Wikipedia is an interesting tool for students and educators alike. Whilst frowned upon in some institutions as a tool, it is considered to be overly accurate.
For students, wikipedia is a good resource to quickly refer to to find out or check on a particular piece of information.
In mathematics this could mean finding a explanation of how to do a solution slightly different (and perhaps slightly more understandable for the student) than what their teacher may have shown them. It can also be a better reference than a textbook or assist a parent in helping their child if they are unsure on the method themselves.
Further than that, it is possible for students to contribute to the information on wikipedia themselves.
Has anyone else actually posted on Wikipedia before?
