Wikipedia1
The World of Wikipedia starts off by giving an outline of how the website started. It gives examples of the first conversations on the page. The mane idea of the first half is how the Creator, Jimbo Wales wanted to make an easy access encyclopedia. This book gives examples of previous paper encyclopedias. What the reader is supposed to take away from this book is how information is controlled.
When Wales created the website Wikipedia, he wanted people to be able to access information from wherever they are. Some of the chapters in the book tell of a site called conserveapedia where information is shared, but controlled. What is sup prizing about this chapter is how kids are home schooled from the internet. The problem with this, is using pages like this to teach is uncertain. Pages like wiki, medi, or conservapedia are monitored, but they are still made by users. If people are us9ing them as a primary teaching source, they are taking the risk that what they are learning or teaching is not true.
The ideas in this book are what members of the groups learned when doing the project last week. A person can pick a topic and search but there is always the chance that what is posted on the page is inaccurate, or just not true. it
