4. What is a Wiki?
A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.
Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. For example, the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best known wikis.
Wikis are used in businesses and education to provide affordable and effective intranets and for Knowledge Management. Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".

5. What are some examples of how I could use the RAAT Pack Wiki?
I was unable to attend the CDE Accountability Meeting in Anaheim, California and need a summary of the topics covered at the meeting!
One of my school districts is interested in building grade level and department professional learning communities focused on improving student learning. I do not have expertise in professional learning communities.
One of my school districts is interested in using short cycle assessments as a formative assessment tool within their district. I do not have any short cycle assessments!
