As a teacher, no. Now we say don't trust the Google summary, click a link for more information!

Funny. In my day Wikipedia just came out and they used to give the same advice. In comparison, I would wager any random wiki article has a better chance of being more reliable and a better answer to your question than a Google summary.

Eh, there are entire categories of questions that can't and shouldn't be answered by searching wikipedia. A technical howto, for example, doesn't belong on wikipedia because wikipedia articles are listings of facts, not narratives about following a process. They just aren't meant for, or structured for, that type of question.

Stackoverflow also leaves a lot to be desired in that area, though, so you still need a search engine to find them.

Also might be good to recommend them to use multiple links / sources, and look for opposite views to broaden their perspectives on topics.
