Thanks for the highlights. I think Wikipedia is a great starting point for research. Especially with well-documented entries linking to additional sources. Few other sources of information do such a good job citing additional sources of information online. Showing students the edit history of documents, thus proving that they're live documents, could be a valuable lesson. Great commentary. Thanks for the highlights.

We talked beforehand about the need to evaluate what you read and check anything that seems questionable. As we were working, a student called my attention to an article which listed the date of Jimmy Carter's death as today's date! Perfect example to learn. We first double checked CNN to be sure that Jimmy Carter was still in good health. And later, saw that the entry had been corrected. Now I have the perfect story to tell next time to illustrate how to use Wikipedia!
