Wikipedia in the classroom?

Last week, my instructional tech class had a lesson on Wikipedia. With the information that has been presented about this online encyclopedia, I am still on the fence about allowing students to use Wikipedia. Even though there are ways to make sure this site is credible, there is still a chance that students could possibly end up with false information.

If I were to use Wikipedia in the classroom, I would show them how to make sure information is credible. I would not suggest to them to use it as research.
