Today, we had an in depth discussion about the trustfulness of the internet. We see all this false information being spread around and it becomes so difficult to differentiate between what to trust and what to ignore. For example, many of us share "articles" on Facebook about social issues...but how many of them actually have ground and evidence? That is the center question that we modern 21st century educators will have to answer.
I was quite pleasantly surprised with the things that I learned about Wikipedia today. For example, the website actually keeps tabs on how many edits a page goes through and for some pages, they are not accessible for the public to edit. I am impressed that Wikipedia is taking measures to ensure web safety and truthfulness, but can I would still only use it for quick research, not academic purposes.
