'''Roland Fischer'''

Friend, foe or simply two worlds with more in common than one notices at first glance? What links a renowned educational institution like the Akademische Gymnasium in Graz with the comparatively young and unconventional online network behind Wikipedia? The conveyance of knowledge is the lowest common denominator - but what role can, and may Wikipedia play in day-to-day school life, and what changes and challenges arise from this? Roland Fischer, runs workshops at his school with the Wikipedia authors Heinz Egger and Karl Gruber which provide answers to these questions, and has himself been infected with Wikipedia fever.

:I see it with my own son who attended a Wikipedia workshop given by Heinz and Karl, and who had to write a "pre-scientific work". He knew how to deal with the knowledge that he finds in Wikipedia. I also know from other youngsters that they can now see and use Wikipedia in a more differentiated manner. At the start of all Wikipedia workshops Heinz asked the participants how often they used Wikipedia. Virtually nobody used it at the most once a month, instead most used it on a daily basis or at least once a week. When these youngsters have taken part in such a workshop they afterwards know how Wikipedia articles come into being and who works on them. Nobody actually new this beforehand, that it is a coproduction involving many people. The students know this now. The access to and handling of this new type of freely accessible knowledge have thereby changed.  

:I would also like to say that I am personally very grateful for all experiences obtained in the course of all Wiki projects because I myself have overall learnt a very great deal. For me Wikipedia is not just give, but also take and the ability to receive - not a one way street.
