Wiki In-service

 1) Introduction

 A wiki is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their Web browser. You can save files directly inside the Wiki.  Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site members.

 

 Examples of wikis:

 

 http://mathtechcamp.wikispaces.com/

 http://gssdsciences.wikispaces.com/

http://ccshomework.wikispaces.com/

 2) Structure of  a wiki:

The initial page is the home page which explains the intended audience and purpose of the wiki.

 On either side (depends on template): 

  • Is a navigation list which allows us to move through the pages that were created by the administrator. 
  • Resources are placed on each page

 3) Working with the WIKI:

  • Sign in
  • Create and edit your pages
  • Add resources to each page
  • Save your work
