Could Nigel Farage’s political career be destroyed by a man in a bin? I was Binface-sceptic - now I’ve got the zealotry of the convert. Clacton needs to be flooded with door knockers. If all the people who oppose Farage vote for Count Binface, then he would win.

I'm still working on building a community of biology teachers playing the same teaching game, exploring and sharing the best moves and models. As a first move, I wrote my books; now I'm sharing every model I've designed and taught. christianmooreanderson.com/models/

A screenshot of my site, which says:
I dream of a community of biology teachers who draw and explore models with students. A vision explained in my books, Difference Maker and Teaching Meaning. Through sharing our best models and teaching moves:

We combine the best of professional coordination and teaching autonomy: We become better teachers with a lighter workload.
Students reap the benefits of teaching without PowerPoint slides and develop understanding beyond knowledge: Students learn more.

On Thursday's TGT celebrate the 25th birthday of Wikipedia. Discuss how wikipedia works, its strengths and weaknesses. But mostly I think we should celebrate that Jimmy Wales has kept the biggest information source in the world ad-free and free. A truly noble act. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Thursday 15th January
Today marks 25 years since the biggest group project in the world began. On this day 2001 Wikipedia went live as a free encyclopedia that anyone could edit.
The idea came from a problem. Jimmy Wales (pictured) wanted a free, online reference work and in early 2000 he backed a project called Nupedia, where experts wrote articles and editors reviewed them before publication. It was careful and accurate but painfully slow. By the end of 2000 it had barely grown (just 21 articles in the 1st year), so Wales and Nupedia’s editor-in-chief Larry Sanger looked for a faster way to draft articles. Sanger proposed using ‘wiki’ software (pages that anyone can quickly edit) and Wikipedia was born as a side-project to speed things up.
But if anyone can edit, why trust it? This tension is Wikipedia’s strength. It doesn’t promise “truth”, it promises that claims that are checkable. Its core rules push editors to write from a neutral point of view and back statements with reliable sources. All edit histories are visible, as are talk pages where disagreements between editors are public and become part of how quality improves.
Since 2003 it’s been hosted by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and funded mainly by reader donations, so it isn’t trying to sell you anything. Its ‘business model’ is people caring enough to make a small contribution to keeping knowledge free.
What’s your personal rule for using Wikipedia well? Do you check references, edit history, talk page, other sources?
Should schools say “don’t use Wikipedia”, or teach how to use it properly? What would that lesson include?

Thursday 15th January
Today marks 25 years since Wikipedia was launched in 2001.
It started as a side project to Nupedia a new online encyclopedia started by Jimmy Wales (pictured). But Nupedia was going too slowly, so Nupedia’s editor-in-chief Larry Sanger suggested using wiki software to allow anyone to draft articles. Wikipedia quickly became larger than Nupedia.
Although anyone can edit Wikipedia pages, its core rules push editors to write from a neutral point of view and back statements with reliable sources. With edit and talk pages visible to allow total transparency.
Do you check references, edit history, talk page, other sources when you use Wikipedia?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
