[LM_NET] Target: Using wikipedia for hard to find subjects

[Jaclyn Adler/ Kirt Winslow <winsler2003@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Hello -

 

I know we have all had this conversation many times and I honestly am still not 
sure where I fall on this subject.  However, some of the students have been 
assigned more obscure tribes for the 7th grade project I wrote about earlier.  For 
example, the Kiowa tribe (I've never even heard of them) has been difficult to find 
a lot of info on.  However, there is a whole page on wikipedia - but not a lot of 
good links to go to for further info.  Do I tell this student that it is okay to 
wikipedia? Or it is okay this time?  I've been preaching reliable sources to them, 
so I'm not sure where to go next...  Thanks for any insight you may have!
