Wikipedia is Wonderful! ...isn't it? (MEDIUM)
OK. So in this assignment we're going to discuss a controversial research tool that we've ALL likely used. Wikipedia is world-renowned for it's ability to answer questions quickly and (relatively) painlessly. However, does that mean it's a good tool for research?
This assignment will walk you through one of the most used knowledge databases in the world - wikipedia. More specifically, we'll discuss how you can use wikipedia effectively, and what to avoid and why.
You will work on three specific skills with this assignment - Research, Summaries and Slide Shows.
You can find the assignment itself here.
Also, you might want to take a look at the slide show rubric before you create one for me.
