Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning "fast" or "quick." The first wiki, WikiWikiWeb was developed by Ward Cunningham in 1994 in Portland, Oregon. In 2007, the term, wiki, was entered into the Oxford English Dictionary. Wikis allow people to work collaboratively. Anyone can view our wiki, but you must be invited to participate.

We will be using this wiki to work together on documents throughout the quarter. Everyone has their own page in the wiki. YOU MUST FIRST LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT ON WIKISPACES TO ENTER AND EDIT YOUR PAGE. You can access your page by just clicking on your name. You add to your page in the wiki by clicking the "edit" button. Entering text in a wiki is very much like typing on a word processing document, however, you are very limited in your text formatting abilities. Once you have added text, you must click on the "Save" button to save your work or it will be lost.

We will be learning how to add images, movies, files, etc. to this wiki. Wikis are very useful in that you can access them from anywhere from any computer. Several people can work on the same wiki at the same time. Anyone can create a wiki and it is FREE! You may choose to create your own wiki in order to work on projects together with your classmates. Hope you enjoy the experience!
