//define a wiki. What is a wiki? What does it do?//

A Wiki is a portal that combines multiple web pages into one location to allow information to be gathered and organized for easy access.

//list some possible ways that you might be able to use a wiki in your classroom//.


 * Create Wikis for literature that my students are writing with separate pages for Author information, background information, and even assignments for specific chapters.
 * Have students create a wiki that they update on a regular basis with what they have learned through out the year, having separate pages for each unit, work. Then have other students comment and even edit other pages.
 * Create a wiki for Freshman new to high school with information on MLA format, school policies, homework help, research instructions, etc.
 * Have the AP and Pre-AP students work together to create a novel wiki to help with preparing for the AP exam. Assign different sections to different students. Have them present their progress from time to time, and make a final presentation in the final crunch time before the AP exam.
 * This summer I will be using the wiki to facilitate my summer assignment for incoming AP students. All the information they need will be on the site- and they will have to make their own pages as they finish assignments.
