**What's a Wiki?**
A wiki is basically a place to share ideas. The great thing is anyone can edit it. My vision for a staff wiki is just a general place where I can post videos, articles, or any other type of media that I think might help us professionally. Feel free to comment or add content as you go. Even though I'm tempted to put pictures of my dog up, I'll try to keep things education related.
