= What is a wiki? =

We will be using this wiki for various class assignments throughout the year.

A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant. You can create or edit the actual site contents without any special technical knowledge or tools. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection. A wiki is continuously "under revision." It is a living collaboration whose purpose is the sharing of the creative process and product by many. One famous example is Wiki-pedia, an online encyclopedia with no "authors" but millions of contributors and editors. The word "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian language meaning "quick" or "fast."
