  2. What is a Wiki? • A wiki is a website that allows the creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor. • Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

  3. What are Wikis for? • Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, to power community projects, and, increasingly, in educational settings • Wikipedia - the free online encyclopedia - is the most famous example.

  4. Advantages of a Wiki • Any number of people can create and edit pages. • Wiki administrators lock pages that are not to be changed by users. • A history is kept of each version of each page, along with who made the version, and when it was made.

  5. Wikispaces • www.wikispaces.com • Free basic public wiki • Free protected wiki for K-12 • Private wiki for a fee • Corporate wiki with custom design for larger fee

  23. Choose automatic or manual navigation menu • By default, the easiest way to manage your navigation menu is to use the automatic navigation. It will simply list your pages alphabetically. • If you want to organize your pages in some other fashion, you will need to change to a manual navigation menu.

  27. Decide on an organization • Think about your page and how you want it organized. • Your home page is the trunk of your tree. • Other pages branch off of that page, and can branch out further, as you like. • It is better to add and delete in this fashion than to have one continuous list of attached pages, which has little organization.
