=**What in the world is a[| wiki]?**=

A wiki can provide a space for people to creating something collaboratively.
===The creator of the wiki can set it up so that it is visible to everyone who has access to the Internet, or only visible to a select group. Likewise, the creator of the wiki has control over who, if anyone, is allowed to edit the content on the wiki. The creator of the wiki can set it up so that no one can edit the content or only a select group can edit the content. It can also be set up so that anyone with access to the Internet can edit the content. The most well know example of a completely open wiki is Wikipedia.===

===For our purposes, I want to share the third graders' book reviews of new library materials with parents on our "First Read Club" wiki. The children will learn how to access the wiki, and edit the "Third Grade Reviews" page. I will edit for spelling and basic grammar. As the organizer of the "FIrst Read Club" wiki, I am the only one who can edit every page. Everyone with access to the Internet may view the wiki, if they are interested in doing so. The general public may come accross our wiki by searching some of the tags I have attached to the wiki. A tag is a search term assigned to the wiki by its creator. For example, I will have tags "bookreview", and "elementaryeducation"===
