Wikis

I think that the concept of wikis can be very helpful and a good way to get information and share information. I think that schools blocking wikipedia as a source of information is both good and bad. Because wikipedia is a wiki and anybody can add information the information that can be found on these sites may not always be entirely factual. I think that instead of blocking students access to information found on wikis teachers should be teaching students better information gathering techniques and to check their sources and make sure that the information that they are gathering is reliable and verifiable from various sources.
