For the second part of this assignment, I chose a subject under Education Issues. Wikis and Education discusses the importance and detriment of Wikis. Some Wikis have only a few editors and are on specific topics while others, such as Wikipedia, have throusands of editors and encompass many topics. These can easily have fraud, as anyone can edit the content. As a teacher, I would not allow my students to use wiki sources in research topics. I know that as a student, I often go to wiki sources for information, however, whenever my teachers do not allow this, I often find a greater amount of information becaue it forces me to look at several different sources. Although wiki sources are somewhat helpful and can provide great information, they are not always completely reliable.
