What is a "wiki"?
A wiki is a website or similar online resource which allows users to add and edit content collectively. It can be visited and edited by anyone. “Wiki wiki” means "rapidly" in the Hawaiian language.

What am I supposed to do with a Wiki?
You will all work collaboratively to create an informational website detailing the Popular Culture of the Roaring 20's and Great Depression Era. After you've been assigned a particular topic, you will need to gather research based upon the following guidelines and post it to your own page using the pages I've created for you. All of your primary information should be included on that page only. However, if you'd like to create additional pages and link them to your main page, you're encouraged to do so.
