=What is a Wiki?=

A wiki is a collaborative web space that allows multiple people to collaborate, create, and share ideas. One of the most well known wikis is Wikipedia. [|Here is a link] that shows you how a Wiki entry evolves over time.

The wiki tool is very simple to use and requires only a computer connected to the Internet and a web browser. There is no additional software required and very little technical knowledge or training necessary to become a contributor. This wiki allows our TIS Computer Club to focus on the content and process of our ideas and not the technical tools. A wiki is a work in progress and continually under revision. A wiki keeps track of the history of a document showing the progression, changes, edits, and updates made by each contributing member. The word "wiki" comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or "fast."

Our TIS Computer Club wiki is open to the public to view but limited to our TIS CC Kids to edit and create. As we use this wiki we are learning about web safety, public v.s. private information, publishing, and copyright. As we explore these topics we will post the information that we learn on our  Digital Citizenship page.
