Once you've decided who will host your wiki you'll want to get started building it. While putting text into the wikis is pretty basic, the set up of the pages and functions for each provider may be different. The proverbial shoe is now on the other foot. You, the teacher, are now the student. Don't dispair.

The following steps may be helpful in making your wiki experience fun and educational.
 * To get started, review the tutorials provided by each site. They are short, segmented and will help you get the basics of wiki building under your belt.
 * Look at the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) site provided on each host site's home page. Some have listings that are directed toward educators.
 * If you have a question that cannot be answered by the FAQ's, don't be afraid to ask for help. Each site has a help desk that you can call or email with your specific question.
 * PLAY with the site. That's right. I said it. The best way to navigate the wiki world is to jump right in and play.
 * Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Remember, one of the many positives of using a wiki is the ability to continually edit your work.
 * Save often. Although saving is done automatically, problems arise and you may lose what you've been working on if it's not saved.
