Micki's Wiki:About

Welcome to Micki's Wiki. This project is created for, and maintained by, Micki Clark and her English classes. For more information on this wiki, read below. If you have further questions, just contact Mrs. Clark.

Mrs. Clark
Mrs. Micki Clark has been teaching English since graduating from UK in summer 2002. She loves teaching, and she loves technology, so the wiki seemed like the perfect marriage of the two.

Pre-AP English 2
With the Advance Kentucky partnership, Madisonville-North Hopkins High School phased out the Honors program in favor of Pre-AP and AP courses. The old Honors English II became Pre-AP English. MNHHS operates on the trimester schedule; Pre-AP English 2 is taught two of three trimesters each year. Students may take Pre-AP 2 A either the first or second trimester, and must take 2 B the second or third trimester.

About Micki's Wiki
Micki's Wiki is hosted on Mrs. Clark's private web site micki-clark.com, hosted by Hostmonster. The wiki is powered by MediaWiki.

MediaWiki
From MediaWiki.org: MediaWiki is free server-based software which is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It's designed to be run on a large server farm for a website that gets millions of hits per day. MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation, that uses PHP to process and display data stored in its MySQL database. Pages use MediaWiki's wikitext format, so that users without knowledge of XHTML or CSS can edit them easily. When a user submits an edit to a page, MediaWiki writes it to the database, but without deleting the previous versions of the page, thus allowing easy reverts in case of vandalism or spamming. MediaWiki can manage image and multimedia files, too, which are stored in the filesystem. For large wikis with lots of users, MediaWiki supports caching and can be easily coupled with Squid proxy server software.

Micki's Wiki Logo
The Micki's Wiki logo is designed to be a nod to the MediaWiki logo. Mrs. Clark's favorite flower is the stargazer lily (she loves them so much, in fact, that she grew several plants to use in her wedding).
