WHAT ARE WIKIS?

Wikis are used in business to provide intranet and Knowledge Management systems. Many classes, schools and community groups create wikis to share information and collaborate on shared projects. "Wiki" (/wi?ki?/) is a Hawaiian word for "fast".
 * "A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis." (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) ||  ||

https://cap-chatter.wikispaces.com is a Wikispaces I set with a number of interested teachers to explain how to use a wiki and demonstrate many of the tools you can use with it. There are also links to //**Educational Wikis**// you can join plus information on getting your wikispace unblocked through the NSW DET schooline. Wikispaces is great for any kind of group website. It's for families, classrooms, sports teams, community groups, book clubs, fan clubs, party organizers, wedding planners, and more.
