Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia which has most of what is on the internet, It has an entry page on wiki, This has help my people with homework as it has a lot of information on the chosen web entry on wiki. I have used wiki on many occasions when I have done my homework.  When of the big advantages of using wiki it that it has a lot of information on subjects and it is very easy to find what you’re looking for. However it comes with one big disadvantages which is plagiarism which when someone copies someone work and try and claim as they own, another thing which is an disadvantage to wiki is that anyone can write on a page entry,

YouTube

Many people wouldn’t count YouTube as an education online service however I disagree with this as many people do post video to help people with an education purpose as sometime teacher do watch education videos which can be found on YouTube. One of the main people who put up education videos are the BBC. I have used YouTube in to study videos in lesson such as history to try and create a feeling of being there. One of the advantages of using YouTube is that it is good a creating a feeling of being there this is good in such lesson like history but this does come with a downside as there is not a lot of education videos on YouTube and it is a website to get distracted on it with watching other videos which are off topic.
