Wiki+What?

This wiki has been set up to allow participants of the wiki workshop to add, edit and modify content on this wiki.

A wiki is a website that allows visitors to edit, add and remove content. Some wikis restrict this to members of the wiki. The very nature of wikis means that you should not always believe everything you read on a wiki. [|Wiki] is the Hawaiian word for fast - wiki is a fast webpage
 * What is a Wiki?**

The most famous wiki is [|wikipedia] Some of the pages on wikipedia are protected so they can only be edited by administrators of the site. Many biographies are protected or pages that may be subjected to vandalism.

Wikis can be used for the same sort of things that you would use a blog. In the teaching and learning areas wikis have enabled students who may not have facilities close at hand to continue their education through the internet. Projects like the flatclassroom have been established that have schools from opposite sides of the world working together.
