The problem with students using Wikipedia as a resource is that their is no guarantee that the information is reliable. Also, anyone, even you or me, has access to the information. This means any random person can alter it, or add information, which could very possibly be faulty. As a future teacher, if a student approaches me with Wikipedia as a source, I would more often than not, reject it as a source, and tell the student to find a more reliable source.
Generally, some great alternatives to Wikipedia, are sources from .edu domains. Also, sources from databases and online books are reliable.
In the last week, I have acquired skill on using PowerPoint. I think this will be great as a future teacher, to give presentations and display though in an organized manner to my students.
