 A wiki is an online place where we can publish our work and edit eachother's pages. When you get to start the wiki, it will be very fun. There is a competition for the icon and banner. On the wiki you can get your newsletters, spelling lists, and D's. There are some links that take you to cool websites on the wiki. Your wiki's name will be Trubyville 3. On your wiki account you can add widgets to your student page. Widgets are games and music that you can get off of www.widgetbox.com. Sometimes Mrs. T. will give you questions and you can e-mail the answer to her on the wiki for coupons. There are many things you can and can't do.
