Response
- I feel this means that Wikipedia is trying to get people to use it for finding knowledge on any subject at any given time. Wikipedia is allowing students to access information to use as background information to start a research paper on a topic. This allows to find out many types of information such as if you want to look up a quick things on a topic to talk about to your friends and have that information at just a click away. Teachers should allow students to use Wikipedia because it is a reliable source or they can even use it as a starting ground of information when starting a paper. Wikipedia is a great site to find information and I would recommend it to anyone.
Video
- this is a video about how amazing Wikipedia is but its a little false because it says anyone can edit information and its always true. This is from the show The Office.
