=__What is a wiki, anyway?__=

==Many of us are familiar with the website, Wikipedia, a collection of wikis that allow experts in an area to provide input on a given topic. The website shares information that is in a constant state of change.== == We can create wikis to use in our classroom to let our students collaborate and share electronically. Students get excited to know that their information is going to be shared with the class in a more formal setting than traditional class discussion. ==
