My daughter's teacher told her class that Wikipedia is unreliable because it's just made up by volunteers. So I asked her where they should find information and she said other sites on the internet that can't just be edited by anyone.
Blew my mind.
Blew my mind.
I'd love to see your daughter submit something extremely wrong with citations from nonsense on the internet.
At the end though, most of us are guilty of such behavior from time to time.
So even if Wikipeda isn't permitted as a direct source for students, it's a great place to find other sources for claims and facts about almost any topic. That's how I taught my kids to use it in school. It's a ready-made bibliography on almost anything.
I'm seeing an ISO for Encarta on the Internet Archive, but I was hoping for a runnable version.
