 * 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.


 * Around Wikispaces in 90 Minutes ** - A wiki is basically a website that can be edited whilst online. With an EDIT and a SAVE button on the site, multiple people can enter information into the wiki and it can easily be edited from any computer with internet access. It is designed to allow people to create and edit web pages without any knowledge of HTML. Wikispaces hosts your online site and for Education it is free and without adverts. You can choose to have a wiki just for viewing, open to all or only to members for editing. You can collaborate and share with colleagues as well as your students.

Wikispaces are organic and develop easily and quickly. As the organizer you can oversee and nurture your site and allow it to be a collaboration of work from many different people. Alternatively, it can be a specialist site with you as the author. Either way the rise of the wiki has turned the Internet into an easy-to-use library of reference and a gallery of information.

Throughout this workshop you will learn how to set-up a Wikispace, create pages, add content, create links and hyperactivity, and embed some useful widgets and resources to produce a classroom website and digital resource. Page layouts can be enhanced with images and buttons, and by adding some navigation and search features such as table of contents and tags, the Wikispace will take on a truly authentic and personalized look.

Participants should bring their own laptops wherever possible. Any soft copy reference material, images, files etc that you may want to add to the wiki would be beneficial.
