Wikipedia Idea
So I was reading chapter 4 or 6 or 9 in Richardson and I came up with a great idea for teachers introducing wikipedia to their students. In an attempt to teach students that anyone can edit a wiki and it is important to update and keep information correct the teacher could create an anonymous account and post non-true information for the kids to edit. That way they would learn the responsibility keeping a wiki as well as how important it is to keep information correct.

That is a cool idea. It turns students into responsible citizens, editors, evaluators, and field authorities. Plus, it serves as a potential review in an authentic experience. Nice!
