Wiki ?????
"Wiki wiki" means “very quickly" in the Hawaiian language. Hawaiians typically double words for emphasis.
Actually pronounced “wee-kee” (rhyming with leaky) according to Ward Cunningham, the original programmer and namer of the technology.
Using Wikis in the Classroom
A wiki is a website that uses special software which allows for the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages using a simple, commonly-agreed-upon markup language or code.
