2. A wiki is an easy to use web page that
multiple people can edit.
The word wiki means quick in Hawaiian.
Set it up and it works just like typing
in Microsoft Word.

3. Three great ways to communicate

4. YOU control who sees your wiki.
You invite your students.
Each student has a unique login and password.

5. In the classroom,
a wiki is a free
tool that
empowers every
student to
participate in
group projects.

6. You have a history of
every edit.
You are notified of every
change.
Edits are time stamped.
You know who made
changes and when they
were made.

7. Quickly create new pages.
Templates are designed
with teachers in mind.

8. You can post files, pictures,
videos, calendars, and more.

9. For more ideas check out the
PBwiki educator page. You can find
tips, suggestions, templates and a
community of fellow teacher users.
