1. Did the class activity about Wikipedia and this article change your opinion about the value of Wikipedia to society in general and education specifially? I knew that Wikipedia wasn't an absolute credible source, but after finding out about the Wikiscanner I feel a little better about it. For use of educaiton, it is good for background information as long as you can find other sources to back it up.
2. Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom. I would tell them that it is fine to use Wikipedia, as long as they can back it up with other sites. Wikipedia can be a great tool, but can also be a bad one as well. Wikipedia is getting better at being more credible, but it never hurts to do more research with more sources.
