Goal and expected impact

As a result of the poster, it is our hope that we will encourage other educators and scientists to explore Wikipedia on their own, discuss best practices for incorporation, and talk about curriculum development for how one can successfully use Wikipedia in the classroom. It is our hope to use this presentation to further develop Wikipedia as a scientific communication platform. We would also like to interact with other Wikimedia members at AAAS if they are attending and would like to share a dialogue.
