In many schools, Wikipedia is blocked from student use. Do you think students should use Wikipedia? At what age level do you think Wikipedia would be appropriate? For what situations would you encourage students to use Wikipedia? Do you think that an encyclopedia "written by the masses" can be quality source of information? Why or why not?
I think students should use Wikipedia. It has honest information about subjects. Also it is written in an opinion of an average person so it would be easier for students to understand. I think Wikipedia would be appropriate for high school students and middle schools students if someone is monitoring the information on the website. I think that Wikipedia should only be used as a second resource for certain situations. Wikipedia should be used when you want to find information quick and on stuff you already know some information about. I think that an encyclopedia written by the masses is a good source because people are allowed to edit the information. If you see something wrong with the information you can go in and correct the information. Also more people can put more information about the certain subject so people can understand the subject better and gain a better knowledge of the subject.
