What+is+a+Wiki?

=What is a Wikispace?= A Wikispace, in simple terms, is a group of web pages with “edit” buttons on them. You can collaborate with anyone you choose on your wikispace. You may want a place to keep information about your organization, or to easily manage your team's schedules. Wikispaces is simple enough for anyone to use, but has enough sophistication so that you can be creative and get things done. If you are looking for more about what a wiki is, Common Craft has a simple and clear explanation. Take a look at their [|video].

=What can I do with my Wikispace?= Wikispaces is very flexible and you can do many things with it, whether in your classroom, company, or community group. For further ideas on what you can do, check out our examples and Wiki of the Month pages.
