Design

The teacher responses to the questionnaire in the analysis stage stated a greatneed for effective technology that would improve collaboration in the classroom. Basedon this information, it is clear that a wiki would be an appropriate web tool to teachteachers, The lesson will focus on what a wiki is, where they came from, and mostimportantly how they can be easily implemented into the classroom. In order to better reach our audience, teachers will be asked to bring their own personal devices so thatthey can follow along and create a wiki during the session. The specific outline of material to be covered during this technology session is listed below.

Components that will be taught

What is a wiki?

Where did a wiki come from? What are different uses for a wiki?

Materials Needed

Personal computer for all attendees

example)VIII. Give it a try!

a. Each table group collaborates to think of a subject and topic that a wikicould teach.

b. Together, groups create a wiki on one person’s computer c. Groups then get on their own computers to practice the collaborative part

and see how it editing and saving works.IX. Conclusion

a. Questionsb. Commentsc. Survey
