Paragraph 1: Howard G. “Ward” Cunningham is the inventor of the first Wiki in 1994. The word "wiki" means fast Hawaiian, this a a great fast way to share. People use Wikis to share data with a large group of people without the hassle of e-mail. Wikis allow everyone to view and edit the same document; It’s a great way to keep organized thoughts. Paragraph 2: Wikis are used in many instances, by people all around the world. A wiki can hypothetically be used for planning many group activities, such as a camping trip, or a business meeting. Many businesses have actually started leaning towards wikis for their group projects, so that they can plan it out collaboratively and over a certain period of time. Colleges have also begun the process of incorporating wikis into their faculty and student population. Students can use it to plan projects, while teachers can put up a wiki for the semesters curriculum, or for the necessary supplies needed for the class.

Paragraph 3: You can gain more knowledge by using other people’s inputs, they can change any false information that they find and correctly update it. Multiple authors and editors of a wiki typically improve the article and the different point of views that they have to offer. People cause controversy when they alter other peoples’ work falsely. Violators can also purposely mess up persons’ hard work and research just in a click of a button.

Paragraph four: High schools and colleges feel that using wikis help with their “ability to interact with one another, express their opinions, and complete assignments online”, but wikis are useful in multiple ways such as to, collaborate ideas, plan events, or discuss any topic. The main purpose schools use this technology to help be rid of any obstacle and provide “a ready to use” site, develop and revise any papers, and manage all or any project.
