=Welcome to EducationalWikis.com!=

For those not familiar with **wikis**, they are a little bit of computing magic. They are simple, easy to use (yes, we promise, you will soon feel that way!), and require only a web browser and a connection to the internet. Yet they hold the promise of dramatically changing the way that we work and learn together.

=This Site=

This site iteself is an example of a "wiki." Invented by Ward Cunningham, wikis are a read/write web technology that allow for easy, fast, and collaborative websites to be built without the need for special software or a lot of training. Adam Frey, from [|Wikispaces] calls a wiki: "a web page with an edit button." Learn more about wikis [|here].
