the one web-based research tool that i most often use, not only for school, but just for anything i want to know is wikipedia. i know we've all heard that wikipedia isn't accurate most times, but i dont know how true that is. everything i've ever looked up has been very accurate, and most times i trust almost everything i read.
i don't know however if i'd recommend wikipedia to my students. i think that for papers and such, students should find books in the library; wikipedia makes it too easy. for general knowledge however, id absolutely recommend wikipedia. there really is everything you need to know about anything under the sun.
one skill that i'd like to learn is how to do everything in excel. ive heard that its very helpful in figuring out equations quickly and making charts.
some ways that i'd acheive this goal is to go to class and learn about it first of all. another way is to take an online tutorial in excel to learn things that we skipped out on.

yea wikipedia is dumb
I disagree. I think wikipedia is a very helpful source.
wikipedia is definitely useful for quick info if you're curious about something, but I agree that it's not completely trustworthy and should never be used for serious research
