The Truth About Wikipedia

After this class the first main thing I learned was about how to use iMovie since that is a program I have never even opened on my laptop and will have to play around with once I get home. As for the discussion we had today I really enjoyed the whole debate on WIkipedia because it was one of my blog questions, but to get some more feedback really helped. I personally agreed with Will's comment about using it as the bread crumbs to lead you to the more concrete information because using it as a starter is fine as long as students are then going to other more credible websites. And as like one of our classmates said (sorry I don't know your name) it isn't just about the information, but about teaching our students the value of the online community.


The 5 W's Criteria
- making sure that the information is there and accessible to the readers
- making sure the information is accurate and up to date
- having at least 4 of the W's answered on the site
