Wikipedia: What's Your Take?

Link to June 25 Techdirt post, "Some Teachers Embracing Wikipedia, While Others Blame It".

Excerpt: We've seen this before, of course. There are teachers and professors out there who blame Wikipedia for mistakes students make, and even those who demand that the entire Wikipedia be blocked in schools. However, there are those who are a lot more reasonable about it, recognizing that Wikipedia is just one source among many, and there's value in embracing Wikipedia: teaching kids what it is and how to use it reliably.
