Unicorns


The beginning of class today was kind of sad.  Mr. Schick told us that he was not going to be in class tomorrow.  After that we started talking about Wikipedia, a huge online encyclopedia.  There are some positive things and some negative things about Wikipedia.  One of the negative things is that people can change things on Wikipedia.  One of the good things is that the editors of Wikipedia can block some of the pages so people can’t edit them.  There are also so many people that use it that if someone adds something that’s not true, other people will fix it.  Another good thing is that, unlike the hardcover encyclopedias, Wikipedia is always updated.    I learned two major things today.  One is that Mr. Schick LOVES Wikipedia.  The other thing is that there are usually sources listed at the bottom of the page to state where they got the information.  We also learned how to add links to our blog.  I wonder who’s going to fill in for Mr. Schick tomorrow!
