    Although this website has a lot of good information, and is easy to read and navigate, the information is not always factual or credible. Not a good website to depend on because of this.

      This goes on my least favorite sites because of it's lack of credible information. I just feel that it can dramatically mislead a student.

      I agree. This site almost always comes up #1 in the search results. It is not allowed in my classroom for any type of research purposes.

      You just never know what you are going to get from this site. Could be great....could be not so great. Not my top pick for students.

      I use Wikipedia for personal use only. You never know if the information is accurate. Students love Wikipedia for some reason. (It is always the first website to come up for websites).

    Wikipedia is a controversial source. I like the source for quick information for personal use, but I do not like it as an educational website. The main complaint for the site is that anyone can change it. That is not why I do not like it. I do not like it because I think it leaves out critical information on many topics. It is a good tool for getting quick easy questions answered but not for in depth answers to tough questions.

    Although this website has a lot of good information on it at times, it can not be depended on to provide accurate information to teachers or students.  Since anyone can post information on this website, it is not reliable for students or teachers to use in the classroom for important projects or lessons.

    I do not let my students use wikipedia, for the main reason that anyone can edit the information. Not all of the information is correct.

      The information is not always credible on the wikipedia website.
