Why You Should be Using Wikipedia for Research
We all know that teachers hate Wikipedia.com. Hate might be a strong word, but educators definitely try to steer students away from Wikipedia. We’ve been taught since elementary school to use sites with domains such as “.edu”, “.org”, but never “.com” when doing research. The teachers have a point. Sites with the domain “.com” are usually not professional or academic websites, and so would not be legitimate or credible for citation.

One simply has to learn how to use Wikipedia the right way.

We weren't aware at that point just how bad student living could get.

Why Videos are Important in Education
In general, children feel happy when they view videos when compared to regular lecture class without videos. Children tend to have more interest in viewing videos than listening to lectures in their classrooms.
