You’re not bursting my bubble, I know wiki has been around for a while, 9 years is not that long though… Anyways as I have said like a million times over in this thread, wiki is fine for a checking source, I just don’t think it should be the end all be all when you are researching…. Basically this : “I understand what their concerns are. There’s no question that [on Wikipedia and similar sites] some things are great and some things are questionable. Some of the pages could be by eighth graders,” he said. “But to simply say ‘don’t use that one’ might take students in the wrong direction from the perspective of information literacy.”

 

Students face “an ocean of information” today, much of it of poor quality, so a better approach would be to teach students how to “triangulate” a source like Wikipedia, so they could use other sources to tell whether a given entry could be trusted. “I think our goal should be to equip students with the critical thinking skills to judge.”

 

Since you clearly missed it. Everything else was just trolling you and now I am fat thanks to all the food, thanks…
