Hot Topic Debate - Wikipedia

The hot topic I've chosen to discuss is about whether or not Wikipedia should be forbidden in students' social studies research.  I think Wikipedia is a great tool for students to use.  In fact, I believe students should go to Wikipedia first to get an overview of the topic before moving on to other sites.  Wikipedia has a wealth of information and is usually written on a level that is easy to comprehend.  However, because of the questionable validity of the information obtained from Wikipedia, I would have my students verify any information they use from Wikipedia with at least one other source.
