*Introduction

= Hello and welcome =

...to the new wiki space for Read Write Now tutors. Thanks for joining us.

Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning 'fast' or 'quick'.

//wi·ki///ˈwikē/
Noun: A Web site developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.

This wiki has been set up for the volunteer tutors of the Read Write Now adult literacy program, whether you are tutoring one-to-one or in a conversation group. It is a space for you to talk about the highs and lows of tutoring, to ask questions of others, to share ideas and strategies, to recommend resources and materials. It will also have pages dedicated to relevant research and news concerning literacy, volunteers and learning.

//Disclaimer: We have set up this wiki to share the good stuff. If you find something that shouldn't be here, please let us know by emailing (readwritenow@central.wa.edu.au) - and if it's anything really nasty please delete it.// //The pages are open for everyone to edit, so the contents will not necessarily represent the views of Read Write Now. We hope contributors will follow the usual wiki guidelines - information, not advertising; idea-sharing, not propaganda, comments, not criticism. Remember that all student details are confidential; please be mindful of what you write.//
