1. I learned that the articles that are on wikipedia are constantly reviewed.
2. There is more current information represented in these articles beecause they are always being edited.
3. Readers can review the history of the page as well as the changes that have been made to the page.
2 things that surprised me.
1.I did not know that there was such intense discouragement against wikipedia.
2. There are tutorials that teach the editors the format, structure and style of wikipedia.
1 question I have.
1. Why aren't teachers using this source in the classroom in a way that can be beneficial to the students.
