Wikipedia

          Today in class we talked about Wikipedia and we learned Mr. Schick is in love with it. Some pros that we learned about Wikipedia, is that it is a lot more convenient than a world book encyclopedia. This is because world books are not constantly updated, so there could be information that was true but something happened to make it false. Whereas Wikipedia constantly updates and gives current information. The one con about Wikipedia is that people can change and edit the information and make it false, but there are people that are on look out for false info like that constantly and some pages are even blocked for anyone to edit. Also, Wikipedia site it's sources, so you can check out those sites and maybe check if its true or learn more about your topic.It also puts footnotes and keywords to help clear things up and allow you to learn more. So we learned Wikipedia is a very good place to research online.
