Past Projects: Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008
A high school class in North Carolina - Croatan High School in Newport, North Carolina - will contribute to Wikipedia until January 15, 2010. The collective goal is to write biology related articles and bring them up to featured article status (or, good article status). This is done as part of an Advanced Placement Biology course. The lead editor is Jimmy Butler. This project is a followup performance of our 2008 efforts. The 2008 Wikipedia AP Biology Project was marked with much success; although there are some modifications that will be incorporated into the 2009 season which should lead to improvements. The primary changes of note will be:
- Students will work in groups of three as opposed to flying solo.
- The time frame has been reduced from two semesters down to one semester.
- Students will be required to write a summary of why they select a topic; hopefully, eliminating obscure, random topic selections.
I have also retired from my supplemental job; hence I will have much more time to devote to this project.
Feel free to discuss this project. Please notify me of any concerns; especially if they involve the behavior of my students on Wikipedia. With a little patience, this should be an inspirational experience for all.
