Wikipedia

Now I know I'm stating the obvious here for most people, but I would like to remind you of one of the simplest and most empowering tools on the Internet. Wikipedia. I use it countless times a day. If I'm teaching, especially History, and unsure, I just whip Wikipedia out on my smart board, and we go through and find the information I don't know. I'm not intending on telling people how to do the basics, but would simply like to remind people of such a powerful resource, which is free....

My learners understand that anyone can contribute to Wikipedia and this can cause much bias, but we also understand that Wikipedia is the most up to date encyclopedia in the world, because of this fact.

Don't forget what's at your finger tips!
