Module 2 Reading Response

Are Wiki's worth the time ?

This article is about the two opinions of Dean Shareski and Carol Ann K. Winkler regarding the collaborative, anonymous collections of online information, such as Wikipedia. Mr. Shareski feels that Wikipedia could very well be the best example of how teaching and learning is changing. Carol Ann K. Winkler, believes that Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, is no bargain for schools. I can understand the different opinions of these two people,  Carol Ann K. Winkler a librarian may have a valid point due to her background as a librarian. The creation of Wiki in a way puts less people in her library, therefore I understand that she isn't a fan. I agree with Dean Shareski, our world is changing and teaching and learning is changing along with it. Rather you agree with it or not we have no choice but to go along with society and what's popular.
