>>For those of you who follow the in's and out's of wikipedia, here's an interesting story: a group of high school students in Minnesota successfully exposed a registered sex offender who was trying to tranfer into their school by tracking entries he had edited on Wikipedia.
I love this story for so many reasons: the students were skeptical, and they then used technology to do research on something that didn't sound quite right -- its media literacy at its finest. In bridging the "digital divide," I'm not sure that the "media literacy divide" gets bridged as well.
