Check out this really interesting article I just finished reading for my Teaching with Technology class. Did you ever wonder who created Wikipedia, and why it exists in the first place? If you have ever edited or posted to the site, you probably have some questions about how it is policed. At least I did... Anyway, you may find this article of interest if:
a) you are a journalist of some kind
b) you use Wikipedia.... ever
c) you don't know what I just said in point b
d) you live in this century.
Very interesting exploration of the community-encyclopedia idea. Interested to know your comments, if applicable -- this is a huge controversial topic in Education classes. i.e. Should teachers accept Wikipedia as a resource? You might want to read this article before you answer. ahhh, intrigue....
