A wiki can be defined as a software or website. It is one of the easiest Web 2.0 tools on the internet to use because it does not require any downloading of software. The term was first coined and created in 1995 by Cunningham and Bo Leuf. It is a Hawaiian word which means fast or quick and allows users to edit any page or pages within a wiki website.
In addition, a wiki is a collabarative webspace where anyone can add or edit content that has been published. It can also be used for collabarative writing of class newspapers, story telling, poetry and correcting of teachers samples or writing. Also with wikis students are motivated to write and teachers can use it to get a feedback on students use of grammer spelling, vocabulary, comprehension and more.
