A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia, Wikipedia, is one of the best-known wikis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIKI
(Unofficially)
A wiki is THE 2.0 organizational tool. Many companies, organizations and institutions are using wikis to help organize information that groups collect during meetings, etc. The Staff Inservice Committee and the Staff Training Workgroup used a wiki to help in the planning of this year's Staff Inservice Day. (BTW, this is a wiki : )
What makes a wiki such a good tool?
You can share information easily
You can create discussion pages for any group
Your information is searchable
You and all the others in your group can edit pages and add information at anytime
You DO NOT need to know HTML to create, edit, or add information to a wiki (even though it is a web page)
2. Log in using the "usual" password. (If you are unsure of the password, contact Michelle, Julie, or Cynthia)
3. Pick a page and add your favorite thing. (You will see the pages on the right in the Side Bar.)
4. Remember this is your time to experience how to use a wiki. Add content (even new pages), correct
mistakes if you'd like, or help in the organization of the pages.
