Below the FAQ section
read the section titled Section on natural systems. This is where Wikipedia
editors discuss edits and concerns about accuracy and neutrality with articles
in Wikipedia.
What did you learn about issues related to global warming?
Global warming has
effected temperature changes across the globe. For example, glaciers have been
melting, which has caused the sea level to rise. It has affected the
precipitation of snow in the arctic as well as rain in the tropics. Due to
these changes, there is expected frequency and severity of extreme weather
occurrences, such as heat waves.
How does reading this section influence you perception of
Wikipedia as a resource for learning in school? Justify your stance using
concrete examples.
This
section makes me feel more secure about using Wikipedia as a resource in
school. However, students will have to do a lot of follow-up research to prove
that the claims in the article is current and accurate. I still don’t believe
it should be a citable resource. However, I definitely believe it is a good
educational tool.
