Week Two: Should Wikipedia be forbidden in Students’ Social Studies research?
I do not think that Wikipedia should be forbidden in social studies research. Wikipedia, despite its weaknesses, does have a lot of valuable information when using it as a research tool. If nothing else, students can use this site as a place to begin in their research. I usually warn my students that they probably should not use this site as a source for a paper or research project; however, its information is very useful.

I agree that Wikipedia does have lots of valuable information. Usually when using google to search a topic Wikipedia is one of the first sites to come up. If a student is doing a research I would highly encourage them to use a reputable website that can be sited.
