Week 4 Collaborative Task

This is fully a part of preparation for your final week presentation:

1. Create appropriate pages in the course wiki so that the wiki is in a state of readiness for future development

2. Watch this video to learn how to set up and develop your Wiki. Browse through the help pages to learn more.
3. Write a blog post suggesting how you might develop/sustain your Wiki. Also, how might a wiki best be used for professional/work/educational purposes?
