 * Final Design Paper**

For the design phase, TechsQuad determined the content of instruction and the sequencing of the instruction. We decided to break the content into two sessions. Session one is geared toward the entire faculty—introducing the faculty to the faculty wiki, CDSTeach.wikispaces.com and developing beginning wiki skills. Session two is an optional training session for those interested in developing their own wiki or more advanced wiki skills.
 * Overview **

** Performance Goal **
Teachers and faculty will demonstrate competence in utilizing a wiki to assist with instruction and student learning.

** Performance Objectives **
Students will:
 * Define “Wiki”;
 * Determine how wiki can be used in the classroom to improve instruction and student learning;
 * Demonstrate how to create a wiki account;
 * Demonstrate how to edit a wiki by: adding text, adding new pages, uploading and embedding images or documents.

Students will:
 * Advanced Objectives (optional)**
 * Demonstrate the ability to create a new wiki;
 * Change the look and feel of the wiki:
 * Demonstrate the ability to add tables to a wiki;
 * Add new pages to the wiki;
 * Demonstrate creating internal and external links to text or images;
 * Demonstrate the ability to embedded widgets, such as video, into the wiki;
 * Demonstrate the ability to edit the navigation bar.

**Sequence of Instruction**
Session One:
 * Pre-Instruction: **
 * Prior to the staff development training, faculty will respond to a prompt, which will be completed in Word: "Name one thing that other teachers know about what I teach."
 * Students will receive two emails.
 * One email inviting them to the staff development, telling them to look for the invitation to join the faculty wiki.
 * A second from Wikispaces inviting students to join wiki
 * Instruction: **

Essential Question: How can CDS faculty collaborate and communicate? Set Induction:
 * Instructor will place a prompt on the screen: "How can I use technology in my teaching or planning for instruction?"
 * In pairs, studnets will discuss for two minutes each, answering the prompt. (Two Minute Talk)
 * Students will share responses to the prompt.
 * Instructor will show “What is a wiki?” video as an introduction to Wikispaces.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Instructor will show examples of wiki used for educational purposes.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Instructor will introduce students to the Faculty Wiki.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Students will (as steps are demonstrated by the instructor) in groups:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Join the wiki by responding to the prior email invitation
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Sit in small groups according to grade level or subject
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Edit the wiki working in small groups
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Add text—refer to the Word documents, “What should other faculty know about what I teach?”
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Add a new page
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Upload/embed documents or images.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Conclusion:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Instructor will display two prompts. Students will respond to the prompt on the wiki discussion forum.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">“How do you think you could use a wiki to enhance your teaching?”
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">“How can you use the faculty wiki?”
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Students will discuss wiki uses with each other and share with the group.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Students will complete an online survey regarding the quality of instruction for Session one.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Instructor will share expectations for using the Faculty wiki.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Instructor will inform students about Session Two, for those interested in advanced wiki skills.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Instructor will pass out a flyer about the optional second class. In addition, this flyer will be sent via follow-up email inviting students to the next session and will also be posted on the faculty wiki.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Session Two (optional): **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Essential Question: How can I create a wiki?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Set Induction: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Instructor will prompt the students by asking questions such as:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How has the faculty wiki changed?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have you added anything to the faculty wiki?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are there any specific questions that need to be answered before we begin?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The students will have a bulleted agenda for the session content, and question items not covered in the agenda will either be worked into the current session, or will be covered at a later date (possibly instructions posted on the faculty wiki).
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students will comment and ask questions as needed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Body: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students will (as steps are demonstrated by the instructor):
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Create a new wiki.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Change the look and feel of the wiki.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Add a table to the wiki.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Adding internal and external links to text or images.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Embed a video from teachertube.com into the wiki (adding a widget).
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Edit the navigation bar.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students will have time to experiment with the wiki and ask questions about the wiki.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Conclusion: Students will share their plans or overall feelings about wiki.
