Time to create your own wiki!

Step 1

Think about a work-related project where using a wiki would make the task easier, more inclusive, etc. How will you use your wiki?

Need some ideas? Here's a link to several videos where educators discuss ways they use wikis.

Step 2

This video provides an overview of pbWiki features. Watch it more than once to pick up all the ideas mentioned here.

Click on this link to create your own wiki. Do not create a 2.0 wiki! (Susan will explain.)

Make the wiki public (so others can view it, but don't have editing rights).

Write down your wiki URL and password.

Step 3
