This document provides an overview of using a PBWorks wiki for a Digital Discipleship Boot Camp class. It explains that a wiki is a collaborative website that will be used for class homework. It outlines the steps to create a PBWorks account, join the class wiki, and demonstrates basic features of PBWorks like navigating pages, editing wiki pages, and commenting. The goal is for students to understand how to complete and submit assignments through the class wiki.
