[edit]Think about what they would be interested in reading and learning about; does Wikipedia provide better access to information this group cares about?
Few of them are already using and find related information for their projects.
Easy source of information in hand, when they have 24 access to mobile phones. Let the search be meaningful.
I teach them art, so they can learn about the lives of the artist, a specific art work, and concepts relating to history, geography, maps, great personalities and this can help them gather all th information that the text book does not provide.
