What is a wiki?
Wikipedia is one wiki you no doubt are familiar with-- the whole idea behind wikis is that many people contribute and collaboration is key. Your entire class can share information using this wiki, making your project work on poets accessible to everyone. Everyone can view pages, but only members of this space can edit pages. Notice how you can add comments to a page under the discussion tab (communicate with your partner this way), see what people have changed under the history tab, and edit the text. Check out the sample wiki entry below. Click on the links below in the **Directory of Poets** to arrive at the relevant pages for the individual poets.
