This is an early stage beta; fun to play around with but not super-intuitive. Still, it beats PowerPoint's klugey design and typography from dolts.

So what's different about this (in the classroom, say) compared with making pdf file of stories childre write and uploading to Kindle? What am I missing?

The problem is that Wikipedia in the classroom has gotten a bad reputation in the K-12 world, undeservedly so I think. I would suggest that Wikipedia can be used for a multitude of educational purposes at a wide variety of grade levels. Too many teachers are still afraid to use it in class, so I’m here to right that wrong and show our educators how they can responsibly integrate Wikipedia into their lessons.

Ugh. I hate it when I do this. I accidentally scooped this article instead of rescooping yours. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes opening too many tabs causes bad habits for me.

Giving these types of skills to students can help them with their understanding of writing and also help teachers with avoiding the copy and paste syndrome in tasks.

I'm going to try this. I like the look of picking my tags from that tag cloud over on the right of the page. Having to manually type them in, in the Draffo bookmarket that I've been using, is a drag (although I like everything else about Draggoo).
It's going to be interesting to see if THIS one is any more practical in the long term as a bookmarker.
