Wow! I can't believe I haven't touched my blog in over a month! Show's how time flies when you are extremely busy!!!
Did anybody else hear all the recent wiki stories? I was cracking up listening to Hot 99.5 on the way to work this morning. They started out talking about the Sinbad story. I guess there was a post on Wikipedia last week that he was found dead, but really wasn't. Then the radio station found out they have a page about them on Wikipedia and some listeners had been posting some really silly things about them up there. Kind of made me think back to our Authors Page experience in our Commerce building.
When we hear things like that happening in the news, it publicly announces to everybody how easy it is to manipulate wikipedias. When people hear how fun it is to do that kind of stuff, how are we going to be able to take a serious approach to it in our classrooms? I guess that is another puzzle that we, as educators, will have to solve.
