1. Wikipedia is different than anything librarians have encountered thus far. It has blurred the boundaries of good and bad information. Can Wikipedia be used as an instructional tool to encourage critical thinking? If so, how?
2. As a mainstream resource, does Wikipedia have a home in Library 2.0? Why or why not?
Feel free to answer these questions in the comments section of this video!

Hmm. Welll...I vote "yes" to the first question, because people already use it for quick and vast information to enlighten themselves on those small "free" moments.
As to the second question, I say, It can...but the good/bad information seems to be the real issue here. Luckily, Wikipedia has a way to edit the information...so that could be put into consideration (even though that would be a lot to edit...) :)
