  1. School-wide Wiki toImprove Communication

  2. Why are we using a wiki? • Lack of effective, efficient, and timely communication • Minutes from meetings are being sent as e-mail attachments, which consume valuable server space and are not organized or systematic. This has also made locating previous meeting minutes difficult and time-consuming. • We will use the wiki to get minutes from the following meetings so that we all receive the information as soon as it is originally delivered. ~ Faculty Meetings ~ Media and Technology Advisory Committee Meetings (MTAC) ~ Principal's and Director's Meetings ~ School Improvement Meetings ~ Team Leader Meetings • The wiki can be directly edited by anyone who has direct access to it from any computer with Internet access. • One person from each of the above meetings will be designated to take minutes and post them to the wiki. • The wiki is set to “private.” Only members can view and edit the wiki.

  3. What is a wiki? • A webpage with an edit button • Perfect for collaboration • Easy to use • "Wiki" comes from Hawaiian language meaning "quick" or "fast" Wiki Video
