Editing
To sandbox or not to sandbox?
Why use a sandbox
- Lower pressure, "shielded" from larger Wikipedia editor community, students feel safer
- No risk of having work changed/deleted unexpectedly
- Students' sandboxes are a great place for doing peer reviews of articles in progress
Why edit live (in the mainspace)
- Exciting, immediate changes to Wikipedia
- Collaborative editing, feedback from larger Wikipedian editing community
