Day 29 [5/4/10]

Wikipedia is a great site. I use it all the time for papers, assignments, homework, and just to look up different things. I think when teachers tell me not to use it, it makes me wonder why they think it is such a horrible site. I will let my students use it in the classroom considering if I use it this much, they will get the same knowledge from it and that is what I want from them. This is a tech-savy world these days and if my students learn from the internet, why would I give them sites that they are not allowed to use. Especially if they are gaining factual knowledge from teh sites that i ban from their using. I do not beleive that wikipedia is an uncredible, unvalidated website. I think that all students, if willing, should be able to use this site, if and only if they gain factual knowledge from it. If they use it correctly, they will understand things in a better way using the links and sources provided in each wikipedia website.
