// __Wiki's in the Classroom__ //
A wiki is a website where users can add, remove, and edit every page using a web browser. It's so terrifically easy for people to jump in and revise pages that wikis are becoming known as the tool of choice for large, multiple-participant projects.

__**Wikipedia says:**__
A **wiki** is a page or collection of [|Web pages] designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content (excluding blocked users), using a simplified [|markup language].[|[1]][|[2]] Wikis are often used to create [|collaborative][|websites] and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia [|Wikipedia] is one of the best-known wikis.[|[2]] Wikis are used in business to provide [|intranet] and [|knowledge management] systems. [|Ward Cunningham], the developer of the first [|wiki software], [|WikiWikiWeb], originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".[|[3]] "Wiki" ( [|/wiːkiː/] ) is a [|Hawaiian] word for "fast".[|[4]] "Wiki Wiki" is a [|reduplication]. "Wiki" can be expanded as "What I Know Is", but this is a [|backronym].[|[5]]
