Wikipedia Friend Not Foe

1.  Did the class activity about Wikipedia and this article change your opinion about the value of Wikipedia to society in general and education specifically? Yes, I have been told that Wikipedia is almost the devil of websites. Making it sound as if this website is almost only full of bad information. But, look further into the subject it is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I would use Wikipedia as a website to get some of my information, but i would look to see if the information was correct or not by using another website.

2.  Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom? I would instruct my students to use the website just as a staple. For example to fin information to start a project off with. Sort of like a Boost to get their project started. Then allow them to use credible sources to site in the projects bibliography.
