Web 2.0 to Go!

I visited the home page of wikipedia and started out with a controversial political article, the discussion page was so ANGRY that I went back and selected another topic that is pretty timely, Homelessness. I bumped from homeless laws, homeless cities to a full page on homeless people. There are actual categories of individuals who are homeless. People who to most of us seem invisible are in wikipedia. The discussion and comments throughout the history of some was interesting.
I know wikipedia has taken a bad rap in education but what a rainbow of information that might otherwise go unnoticed. This spoken by a child of the sixties and seventies who’s only research material was a set of ChildCraft encyclopedias. (we couldn’t afford Britannica!)
