Students+and+Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a free encylopedia that allows anyone to edit the information. Based on this idea, my view on student's using Wikipedia as a resource is that they should not! There are too many people out there with ideas and they can just post what they want to the page and there is it for the world to see. It is important for the students to realize that although there is truthful information located on the site, there is also information that cannot be proven as factual. There are many more reliable sources out there for students to use when researching an idea. It would also be a good idea that if you found something on Wikipedia that you check another source to make sure the information is correct.
