This is the true definition of a working/living document. I am impressed with the ease of making edits and changes.

 * Anyone (registered or unregistered, if unrestricted) can add, edit or delete content.
 * Tracking tools within wikis allow you to easily keep up on what been changed and by whom.
 * Earlier versions of a page can be rolled back and viewed when needed.
 * Users do not need to know HTML programming language in order to apply styles to text or add and edit content. Very nice! In most cases simple syntax structure is used.

My experience with this Wiki assignment has been very confusing but I can see great opportunities of how wikis could be used in the classroom with students, in staff development with teachers and to communicate and interact with parents. - Amanda Chavis
