What is an editorial? an editorial is an opinion piece. Editorials are supposed to reflect the opinion of peridical?(a magazine or newspaper published at regular intervals).                                    For example sometimes my web 2.0 teacher tells us to give the opinion on what you think of or my spanish teacher makes us say our opinion if we write a paper. It is someone writing an opinion on a topic. For example, every week in web 2.0 we do a weekly blog posting on a product ( technology based) and at the end i put a editorial a personal opinion about what i have based my blog posting about.

            Mainly all of my teachers that i have to research and write a report have told me to not use the wikipedia because it is unreliable. My teachers have informed me to stay away from it because not all of the information provided on it is reliable. For example, it can say that the civil war was in the 1934's because anyone can edit it. In my old school the english teacher did not count the work if you used information from the wikipedia.

           Do teachers allow you to use wikipedia as a source? yes, my teachers let me use it as a form of research. My teachers let me use it as a source because it is a good start. They say to get some information on it but not to base your entire paper on it because some of it can be false. Some of my teachers don't let me use it because they say it is not as reliable as other sites can be and won't grade your work if you do use it.

           After reading the article my thoughts of wikipedia has changed. It said in the article that hundred of thousands students use wikipedia and class rooms. Normally i use wikipedia but not as a reliable source but then it said in the article that over five-hundred class rooms use wikipedia printed out pages to teach their class rooms. I did not know that wikipedia can be so reliable and used so much by people, personally i thought of wikipedia as a last resort or maybe even a second option. Now that i know wikipedia is so used and ''relied'' on i will consider relying on wikipedia as a first source or a starting point in a research paper.
