Got To Be Certain

We are reaching the end of this module soon. Today we were told to compile our researches on Cyber-bullying onto our class' Wiki Page. I had to backtrack from my original research topic cause I wasn't doing anything similiar, but all is well.

I feel that the Wiki Page has both its pros and cons. Basically any sort of sharing of infomation is good, especially if it's for a good cause (like in this case, raising awareness), but with everyone going in at the same time, and editting the page, it may be pretty messy. Faridah countered my comment by saying we should appoint coordinators and leaders to ensure the neatness and flow of the Wiki Page, like the actual Wikipedia! So I guess that's iniative on our part.

Wiki Pages are good in a way that knowledge is shared freely and openly, however, not all the infomation can be trusted as it is open to anyone in the world to edit. Hence filtering the infomation is very important.

But it's not like I would completely leave out Wiki Pages when it comes to research, but I would search it first, so that I can verify the infomation I have collected when I do my actual search on search facilities.
