@anncarolynhill : Great points! Yes, I agree that the medical sites are much used and that they are more complex than WikiPedia - that is a good example of exploring new information which is used a lot by students.
I would also say that while the distribution of technology is not equal, the affect of new technology is so ubiquitous in our society that most students have already been influenced by new ways of accessing information and the immedicacy of input and output....such as your medical site example.
So, developing tools to help with that desire to explore and find as well as evaluating information is critcal to student success. The outline I provide in this blog is an example of strategies and tools we can devleop.
Thank you for your post!
