[LM_NET] SHARE: Wikipedia in ES

["Hassett, Bob E." <Bob.Hassett@FCPS.EDU>]

Short-ish entry in Wired's new blog, Geek Dad, by Chris Anderson, Wired
magazine's editor and the author of The Long Tail:

FTA: "Our own kids' elementary school is training the kids to use
Wikipedia and other web sites as research tools by teaching them the
"two sources" rule. The kids have to find a fact in two independent
sources online (and not just the same text repeated in two places)
before they can use it in their paper."
