=Welcome to my class Wiki!=

Hello, my name is Liz Desmond and I am a 5th grade Social Studies teacher at Groves Elementary. You may be wondering what a Wiki is. Well, Wiki is a Hawaiian word for //fast//. Some people also refer to it as **W**hat **I** **K**now **I**s. It is the technology behind Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia.

My goal for this Wiki is to give students an opportunity to create web page content based on what they learn in class. After specific lessons, students will have an opportunity to use the Wiki to create or update web pages related to the lesson. For example, if we just had a lesson on John Adams, they can document information they learned about our second president and then share it with you later at home. This is a fun way to help them remember what they have learned!

Best regards, Liz Desmond
