The Teacher's Guide to Wikipedia



We all know that any research project with our students should begin with the HTS online encyclopedias, but inevitably, our dear students automatically start "Googling" and begin with Wikipedia... (Of course I never admit this is my default search technique.)

I came across the following article on Edudemic over the Weekend.  If you need a bit of ammunition when explaining to the kids that Wikipedia is not always the best source for a report, this will be very helpful.  It gives a comprehensive overview of how Wikipedia works, and includes perspectives on how safe and reliable it is for students.

Enjoy!
