1. Did the class activity about Wikipedia and this article change your opinion about the value of Wikipedia to society in general and education specifically?
I have always thought of the site as a starting place for information and going further by checking the resources they used but, by using what's not in the Wikipedia as a research topic is not something I would have thought to do.
2. Describe how you might direct students to use Wikipedia in your future classroom.
I think I would take sort of the same approach with my students, by telling them to do research on things that are missing on the page. They would use Wikipedia as a place to get an idea for their actual research paper.
