Think/Pair/Share The word “wiki” comes from the Hawaiian
word meaning “quick”. The first wiki was developed in 1994 by Ward
Cunningham. The most popular wiki is Wikipedia which is a
free content encyclopedia. How does Wikipedia work? Now, there are tens of thousands of wiki
websites! Image from Wikipedia

Sun West Learning Coaches and Consultants and teachers have developed a number of wikis.
These wikis were created to provide an opportunity for collaborative sharing among teachers.

It is a good idea to create a list of “rules” for acceptable use when adding content to a wikispace.
Setting the expectations in advance, and developing consequences can help prevent issues from developing.
Co-constructing Rules
