So, what is a wiki?

=
A wiki is essentially a web page with an "edit" button allowing users to add and edit information. This provides a very useful, and sometimes powerful, way for the wiki users to collaborate on projects. In a wiki, anyone and everyone gets to decide what will be said (content), how it will be said (organization), and whether it will be said (dissemination). =====

=
Of course, the most wonderful attribute of a wiki is that it is just simply...simple. YOU can make a webpage. Your students can make a webpage. Your content department or grade level colleagues can make a webpage. It is simple to make, simple to update, simple to host. And that's something we've never really had before. Oh, we've had the ability to create webpages for a long time, but they involved lots of complications. This is just...simple. =====
