What Is a Wiki?
“A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any
number of interlinked Web pages, using a WYSIWYG text editor
(simplified markup language) text editor, within the browser.”
~ Wikipedia
"Wiki users comment on and change one another's text"

Get a wiki!
PBWiki
PBWiki is easy to use. Offers perks for educational wikis, the most important being ad-free wiki space. A monthly fee allow more customization options (additional backgrounds), additional file storage
Wetpaint
Wetpaint offers many templates and a wide variety of styles ("skins") which allows for more customization. All Wetpaint wikis have ads (including educational wikis)-- they are included in sidebars along the side and bottom and are fairly unobtrusive
Wikispaces
Clean, no-frills wikis. Ads appear along the sidebar for free wikis-- ad-free wikis are available for $5 a month. Wikis: Ready or Not!
