Wikipedia

Question the Answer 

The popularity of Wikipedia over the last decade, especially in education, has grown leaps and

 bounds. The general sense is that the majority of content found on Wikipedia is factual and can be 

used for assignments and project. This assignment has shown me that Wikipedia's content 

needs to be evaluated carefully with a watchful eye for sources cited and the author's 

named examined. It was very easy to find a Wikipedia page and start editing it. My thought

is that if I can do it anyone can meaning people not credible. 

In terms of the Wikipedia pages, I personally,edited the Leesville Road High School
Wikipedia page. I added a section on the school's D.E.C.A. student organization.  I checked on the
site a week later and the whole entire section was erased and deleted. It was rather upsetting
honestly to have my hard work just erased with a click of a button. The reason why this was
upsetting was because I took the time to research this topic with my co-op teacher
 who is the adviser for the student organization.
Wikipedia is a asset for the Internet, but students must understand how it works and
use it  effectively. The use of credible sources is vital for educational projects and research
Wikipedia if used must watched and evaluated carefully for credible content validity.
