What a great idea. I seriously use wikipedia all the time from looking up films and bands to doign research for projects. I am quite glad to see it getting some respect from teachers now taking it as a fairly credible site for researching.
The curriki idea is genius. The teaching profession is full of tediousness and sometimes a revamp is needed and now that is right at teachers' fingertips. As we speak in class at length about reinvention of more or less everything, I think this is a huge groundbreaking movement. I think that reinvention at certain points in teaching timelines is quite necessary not only for students but also for ourselves as teachers, I couldn't think of a faster way to burnout than teaching the same thing the same way for numerous years, although that does sound pretty good.

I definitely agree with you that sometimes a "revamp is needed" in the teaching profession. I would be bored out of my mind teaching the same exact things every year. There is no way I'm going through 4-5 years of college to teach the same thing every year. One of the ways to change things up is to stay on top of new things, like curriki. Wikipedia is the future, and it deserves some respect the serious thinking about its uses in the classroom.
