 * Connect, Create, and Collaborate using Google Apps and Wikispaces ** - Learn how to use Wikispaces and Google Applications as a classroom tool. This hands-on 90 minute workshop covers the basics from a select group of FREE Google Applications/Docs that can be used to enhance teaching and learning by embedding into Wikispaces.

Discover how these two online applications can be used as a communication tool between the teacher and student and between peers for, sharing resources, recording lesson highlights, posting learning challenges, reflecting and interacting with the teacher, and engaging in online conversations. All can be achieved within the classroom and beyond the school boundary and timetable.

Create a range of classroom activities; individual or collaborative research and presentation tasks, videos and play lists, self-grading quizzes, and peer and teacher assessment. Discover how Google Applications can be embedded into Wikispaces to enhance the usability of Google Applications all within a website or single web-page.

Once you leave this workshop, you will have created a set of online teaching and learning resources, using a range of Google Applications that can be used with students of all ages and in any subject through a Wikispace.

Participants should create a Wikispace (Education Wikispaces are free and without adverts) and Google account prior to the workshop. Please bring your own laptop wherever possible.
