I think that, as folks see wikis used in their work settings and for creative purposes, they'll eventually learn to assess which wikis are best in which contexts. All that said, I still love Wikipedia. I would argue that we should be teaching people how to make Wikipedia better so that the authority problems it has are improved over time.wantonlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772249461187983345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720755192142466185.post-36981166064994316612007-03-03T12:56:00.000-05:002007-03-03T12:56:00.000-05:00Mary, We need to separate our association to wikep...Mary, We need to separate our association to wikepedia as our main connection to the wiki. It is a excellent source, but you are right to use it in the classroom as a authentic source is tricky. <BR/>I, personally see wikis as a tool to connect with other students, teachers, librarians, etc...that have the same interest. By allowing editing, commenting, and posting links, pictures, sources, books, it can create a fun place to visit with your peers on the web. There are so many great sources other than wikipedia for children, I think by educating them about the authenticity of this and other web sites is crucial for developing evaluation skills now. We need to see beyond wikipedia. What do you think?<BR/>AllisonAllison Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108210936824584659noreply@blogger.com
