Wiki

Today in class we mostly talked about wikipedia and if it was a good site or if it was not. It is openly aloud to be changed by people if they choose, but it is not as bad as some people make it seem. The website is constantly being checked and if there is a mistake a reader could catch it and contact wiki to fix the problem.  Also it is updated all the time so therefor it is a more reliable resource than any other encyclopedia because it is updated. Back when Mr. Schick was in high school(could not have been too long ago) the only thing changed in the book would be the current events everything else would be the same. Wiki is also the biggest in the world and has anything you could imagine inside of its website. Also things that are really important can be blocked off by wiki. An example of that is President Obama's page right now can not be edited because it is election time and someone could write false information that would impact the election. In class we also discussed on how we wanted Sean to stay in our class. I hope he sent Mr. Schick that email! Hopefully he will be aloud to not drop our class and still do STEM. If he is not in our class I will miss him!
