Wikipedia

Learning about wikipedia has changed my outlook about this research site. At first, I believed it to be a great site to begin researching any topic. That was before learning all the information that's on the site could have been altered...by anyone. So some of the information could be true or false. As a teacher, I will teach my students that Wikipedia is a start to finding out information, but to not rely on Wikipedia alone. I will teach them to also use the hyperlinks that are within the Wikipedia web site to further gain more information. Students will have to learn how to research for the rest of their lives, so teaching them the tools would be solely my responsibility and Wikipedia is where I would have them start.
