WIKI WIKI WOW

So word on the networked media street (in the unlecture) is we are starting writing wikis this week in class.

Wikipedia is a wonderful resource, despite what scholars, academics and teachers think. It is similar to a blog in someway- the information is written by people not necessarily academics, therefore the transparency of the information is ultimately dependent upon the individual. Which is fine- blogs are informative, wikipedia pages are informative…just don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Don’t solely use Wikipedia, don’t solely depend on a blog. Simply use it for what it is, a segment of water amongst a pool of information (which you will be obtaining through other sources!)
