What?

    A wiki is a kind of software that allows virtually anybody to edit web pages that are on the internet. In the case of this wiki, all you need to do is sign in with our password (it's "ccnshs") and you can "easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change some available content". This simplicity of use makes the wiki a very good tool for collaborative authoring - it's just a fancy name for working together - which is part of what we want to see happen in our education system, right?

    Anyway, you can read more about wikis in general over at Wikipedia.

How?

    The more nitty-gritty stuff:

    Editing a page: Click the huge "Edit Page" button. You'll be asked to give the wiki password and identify yourself. We'd really appreciate it if you used your Real Name (no harm in that, right?). You'll be taken to a text editor page that I assure you will be as easy to use as Notepad. You just type away, and if you want special formatting, there are toolbars at the top of the textbox with lots of options. After you're satisfied with your work, just press the "Save" button and you're done!

    That's it folks! If you want to learn any of the other features of this wiki, you'll just have to learn that for yourself.
