Believe It Or Not: Wikipedia’s Credibility

Plan Title

Believe It Or Not: Wikipedia’s Credibility

Teacher Plan Overview

This plan is ripe for interdisciplinary use, but can also stand alone as an introduction to Wikipedia’s utility and its unreliable credibility. Students learn how to use Wikipedia, and also how to be skeptical of information they read there, because of the open-source nature of Wikipedia entries.
