Wikipedia Club

“Wikipedia” is one of the most popular resources on the Internet, which is one of the ten most visited sites in the world. This is a folk guide. In terms of the volume of information and thematic coverage, Wikipedia is considered the most complete encyclopedia ever created in the history of mankind. One of the main advantages of Wikipedia as a universal encyclopedia is the ability to present information in the user’s native language. The main feature of Wikipedia is that any Internet user can create and edit articles in it. All changes made by such volunteers are immediately visible to all visitors to the site. Students of Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools have joined a global project called Wikipedia and organized their own Wikipedia Club of Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools. Everyone knows that people from all over the world participate in filling out an extensive Internet encyclopedia and share their knowledge. The founding of the Club is aimed at developing the skills of writing, editing articles in schoolchildren, involving them in creative work and scientific research in accordance with the principles of academic honesty and responsibility. Creating and editing articles on Wikipedia should be every child’s intellectual hobby, contributing to online literacy.
