I will be waiting for what you hear from Answers.com. I think their heart is in the right place - and they are certainly addressing a real need. I would just feel more comfortable if they depended less heavily on Wikipedia . Even though I am feeling more positive about Wikipedia lately, I still worry about the kids accepting everything they see there blindly... I do my part to educate them. But they are SO naive about info on the web..... Still, social computing is a phenom that we can't stop - so our best hope is to constantly challenge our students to question everything they see, and equip them with the tools they need to navigate safely, ethically and critically around hidden information "icebergs. Shonda - I have misplace the address for the epic film clip. When you get a chance - would you send me the url? Thanks so much!
