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?
Yes, I did not realize that people can easily change the information to the correct information. And that you can see where they have corrected things. Wikipedia still may not be the best source for information, but I do realize it could be a better source of information than what some teachers make it out to be.
2. Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom. ( Blogging Points for this assignment)
I would have my students read the article about how you can tell if information was corrected or needs corrected on the Wikipedia. I would tell them not to use it as their main reference, but for little parts of it they could if they knew they were reading it correctly.
