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?
Yes, Throughout my highschool years I was always told that wikipedia was a horrible source and was not allowed in any of my papers. Although I never used it as a source I always reffered back to it for a few pieces of information. By doing this class activity I have came to realize is not as bad of a source as I wasd told.
2.  Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom. 
I might direct students to use this source in a way of improving the site.I could have students search for any problems and have them fix the errors acordingly.
