[LM_NET] Wikipedia?

[Kathy Fester <kfester@SHELTON.ORG>]

I'm going to be the one who is contrary on this topic! Students (and  
teachers and administrators) all use Wikipedia and they will continue  
to do us. Most of us do, as well.  So we need to teach them how to use  
it effectively and finding authority. There are some valuable  
resources through Wikipedia and good ways to use it to take advantage  
of some of the recent research.  And there are specific things to be  
aware of. Have a look at my PowerPoint I've given to staff:  
"WikipediaWise." There is no commentary, but seems to be fairy  
intuitive--just take time going through the presentation as different  
areas are highlighted bit by bit.  I'd welcome any responses!
