Wikipedia
Before we started using Wikipedia there are 7 things that
we should about the site.
1 What is it? It is a free online encyclopedia that
anyone can post to
2. Whose doing it? Anyone can create and edit Wikipedia
3. How does it work? When you research a topic at google
the first search result is usually Wikipedia.
4. Why is it significant? Because it the user in control
of the material that they received, it let the students take part in the
collaborative process of creating and revising the content of the material.
5. What are the downsides? The material that you read on
Wikipedia might not be true material because people can post their opinion on
that site.
6. Where is it going? Wikipedia is not going anywhere
because you have to many people the use the information for that site.
7 What are the implication for teaching and learning? It
gives student the opportunity to generated knowledge and it helps the student
to be better researcher because whatever information that they find on the
Wikipedia site has to be further researched.
Wikipedia is not a very reliable site for a student to
use and most teachers will not let the student quote any information from
Wikipedia because of that reason. Wikipedia can a start when you are
researching but it cannot be the only research that is use in the process.
