I plan to use it in a number of ways:<br />-To supplement my education and refresh particulars on courses I took many years ago.<br />-To get an idea if I want the students in my student teaching placement to reference them, and as you said, where is the quality control? But where is it when the Texas School Board does their ignorant slash and burn? Wikipedia has been shown to have errors, but Encyclopedias also have errors. So I have to check the content.<br />-If the students are using it to study, whet are they getting? <br /><br />I thinks it's a fabulous idea for students where there is no infrastructure for schools or a wide range of subjects. <br />As a teacher, it is our responsibility to push students to become autodidactic. They should never stop learning, but should understand how to vet sources, as they will always need to know more than school can possibly teach.BUFOETRANAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373167075108672892noreply@blogger.com
