Wikis

Wiki - Not the Same! A wiki is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web server. Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site visitors. A great example of a large wiki is the Wikipedia , a free encyclopedia in many languages that anyone can edit. The term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which means "super fast." I guess if you have thousands of users adding content to a Web site on a regular basis, the site could grow "super fast."

Why use one? Wiki's can be used as a method of having information in one place on a specific subject or topic. for example http://rtiandtechnology.wikispaces.com/ This is a place teachers in our county can go to for information about technology and RTI.Your handout today is a wiki. It allows for me to update to the last minute!
