Wikipedia: Friend, Not Foe




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?

     They definitely have changed my opinion about the reliability of Wikipedia. However, I have concluded that as long as we utilize it in a correct way, it can still be a useful source in our daily life.

2.  Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom.
      First of all, I will encourage them to look at the websites that are cited in Wikipedia. Secondly, pay more attention when they see special signs in the content they open in Wikipedia. Thirdly, I will remind them to do critical thinking while they are reading.
