Honestly, I think Wikipedia is a great source of information and I have been using it as a homework/paper writing/fact learning guide since I was a freshman in high school. I think that most teachers over react when they don't let their students use it because they say a lot of pages have false information. I really don't agree with that though because whenever I use Wikipedia, their information is almost always the same as another website's. There are also editors that go in and delete the facts that are false! So I believe as a student and a future teacher that Wikipedia is a blessing.
As a future teacher, I would encourage my students to use Wikipedia because I believe that is truly is a great source of information.
