Overview
A wiki is a webpage that is //quick// and //easy// to create, //add// to and //edit//. It allows //more than one person// to work on a page at the same time. You can add as many pages as you want to your wiki. Make sure to use Firefox when you create your wikis!

 * 1) Browse through and explore the examples wikis in education. It really helps if you try and formulate an “idea” of how you might use a wiki in your classroom BEFORE you create your own wiki.
 * 2) If you need additional examples, watch the How to Find a wiki tutorial.
 * 3) The Visual Editor (formatting is just like a word processor) is only available when you use the Firefox browser.
