Wikipedia Gems

    It's fun to figure out as an adult that Wikipedia is useful tool... after having it hammered home that students should never use it, and it is not reliable. I wish I would have known the value and usefulness of Wikipedia when I was in school.

    One of the biggest takeaways from learning about Wikipedia for me was the quality scale. I think that this is a great tool to know moving forward. One can easily check to see what the quality of information is. Knowing what I know now makes Wikipedia a great place to go when looking for potential sources. I had no idea that there are so many scholarly sources cited within a Wikipedia page. Again, this would have been helpful information to know as Wikipedia could have been a very helpful and useful tool for research.
