What is a “wiki”? Literally, the word “wiki” is Hawaiian for "fast.” In recent years, the term “wiki” has been associated with a technology for allowing Web communities to write and edit documents together. The most famous use of a wiki is Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/), a vast, community-maintained encyclopedia on the Web.
Like Wikipedia, schoolnet.com’s K12 Wiki is a community-maintained encyclopedia; however, it is specifically focused on K12 education information. While much of the source content for our encyclopedia is licensed from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/), educators, parents, and other schoolnet.com community members are constantly improving and adding to the articles in our encyclopedia. Changes made by our users are recorded in the article histories. Inaccuracies, inappropriate content and other unhelpful changes are usually removed quickly by the community, or by our staff. We appreciate your help in making the schoolnet.com K12 Wiki the most useful and up-to-date K12 encyclopedia on the web. If you add new material to the K12 Wiki, please try to provide references for your source material. Statements of a purely editorial nature or claims that are unreferenced are typically removed from the encyclopedia.
