My upcoming presentation at this year's GPACW at Dakota State will deal with the raising students' digital information literacy through the use of Wikipedia in the FYC classroom. As this presentation will rely heavily on Wikipedia itself to explain some of the logistics and further resources needed for implementation, I deemed it helpful to provide those links here:
