The document discusses creating and using wikis for educational purposes. It begins with an overview of wikis and what they are, and recommends creating a wiki on PBwiki.com. It guides the reader through setting up a wiki site, including choosing a name, layout, homepage content, and secondary pages. It also covers uploading files, linking URLs, and using the editing toolbar. Additional sections provide information on open vs closed wikis, collaboration capabilities, classroom accounts, embedding gadgets and plugins, and resources for learning more about wikis. The document aims to teach educators how to set up educational wikis for use in their classrooms.
