Wiki

Please post a blog post with 5-8 of the most important parts of the wiki presentation.

Ward Cunningham created the wiki, which invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site. Linking between the wiki pages are made very easy. If you don’t know what something is, and there’s a link, you can click on the link and be directed to it instantly. Wikis allow you to link to pages that don’t yet exist through red links. Wikis have a lot uses: can meet agendas, internal blogging, can be collaborative spaces, documentation, collection of action items, “focused compact group”, and focus on internal community. Ward’s specific purpose for the wiki was “to create an environment where we might link together each other’s experience…” He valued conversation and communication. Wikipedia’s can tell you how to cite the information in the article and also will give you related topics and changes to help you with searching the wiki. Some wiki examples are PB Works, Wiki Spaces, Media Wiki, and Google Sites.
