How+to+Make+Your+Own+Wiki

=Welcome to Make Your Own Wiki!=

This site will be a collaborative effort to create an easy to use guide for creating your own wiki.

Wikis are a great tool for team collaboration. There are many free sites that you can use to create your own wiki and you can also host private ones on your own internal servers. Wikis allow you to add your own content as well as edit the content of other contributors. The idea is that if everyone contributes content and edits each other's content then eventually the site will contain robust information. The great thing is it allows the work to be "crowd sourced" so that not every contributor needs to be an expert in everything. It is like the assembly line applied to the information age.

Below are some great resources for learning more about wikis:

Click on the wiki tutorial document and you set up your wiki step by step. After you have read this page and the accompanying links/downloads go to the upper left side of the wiki page and click new page. Please title the new page with your last name and class in it. An example would be Craig/Web2.0 tools. As always preview and **save** often.

The rules of digital citizenship that we have been working on all year long still need to be remembered. If you do disagree with someone there is an acceptable way to do it. Name calling is not acceptable. We can agree to disagree.
