Teacher tip: on Wikipedia, replace ‘en’ with ‘simple’ to get a simplified, more child-friendly version. #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/lRziLWMBbC— Sam Daunt (@samdaunt) July 13, 2015
P.S- Always tell your students to quote their sources when researching. Ask them for the links too. I often warn them about the issues behind websites such as wikipeadia and also remind them that Siri is not a source! 🙂
