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?
It did change my opinion about Wikipedia because I did not realize that there were so many people behind the site who try everyday to keep facts on the page and make sure people get the right information. I had no idea there was a wikiscanner who kept the site under control and keep people from posting information that is unreliable.
2. Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom. ( Blogging Points for this assignment)
I will direct students to use Wikipedia as a site that they can go to and get a quick overview of what is going on and get some information but not let them use it as a resource because you do not know if the website is 100% credible but students could use it as a beginning point to get them started on research.
