// What is a wiki? //
We've all heard of wikipedia and many of us use it. Their definition of a wiki is a webpage that allows the easy creation and editing of connected webpages. It allows us to share our thoughts and link to related websites and other available, creative tools that will enhance our learning experience.

Here is a place to: o make statements and ask questions o elaborate and explain your thinking o listen to others thoughts o respond o expand each others' ideas o take turns o think about and respect alternative meanings and perspectives o repeat and restate ideas o use language to investigate and wonder o enjoy and share the play of language
