Assessment
evaluation
and
revisions
to
workshop:
The
post-­‐test
assessment
shows
that
the
participants
did
understand
the
concepts
of
Web
2.0
and
Wikis
by
the
end
of
the
workshop.
They
all
could
identify
the
Web
2.0
applications
and
Wiki
sites
that
were
discussed
in
the
workshop.
They
also
understood
that
Wikis
were
collaborative
and
interactive
versus
the
passive
viewing
of
material
on
a
website.
Three
out
of
eight
(37.5%)
of
participants
were
already
using
Wikis
prior
to
the
workshop.
After
completion
of
the
workshop,
seven
out
of
eight
(87.5%)
of
the
workshop
participants
answered
that
they
could
see
themselves
using
Wikis
in
their
classroom.
The
only
revision
I
would
make
in
the
future
is
to
make
sure
I
could
better
identify
the
participants
currently
using
Wikis
and
how
they
were
using
them
prior
to
the
workshop,
so
that
I
could
better
judge
the
increased
interest
and
motivation
to
use
Wikis
after
the
workshop.
I
think
I
would
email
this
question
out
to
all
the
participants
before
the
workshop
so
they
would
have
more
time
to
answer
this
question
in
detail.

Participant
evaluation
analysis
and
revisions
to
the
workshop:
The
evaluations
of
the
workshop
were
very
good.
I
believe
that
I
met
the
overall
objective
of
the
workshop.
However,
I
was
disappointed
that
no
improvements
were
suggested.
Upon
reflection,
I
believe
this
was
a
time
issue.
The
workshop
was
at
the
end
of
the
school
day
for
the
participants,
and
I
feel
like
they
rushed
through
the
evaluation.
I
definitely
know
that
I
can
make
improvements
to
the
workshop,
which
I
will
discuss
further
in
my
self-­‐evaluation.
The
revision
I
would
make
to
the
workshop
would
be
to
make
sure
I
got
everyone’s
email
address
so
that
I
could
email
him
or
her
the
evaluation
after
the
workshop.
This
would
allow
the
participants
more
time
to
complete
the
evaluation,
and
hopefully,
they
would
reflect
and
give
me
more
suggestions.
I
would
also
make
sure
the
participants
understood
the
importance
of
making
suggestions
and
how
I
could
utilize
them
to
make
improvements
to
the
workshop.
I
would
also
include
a
prompt
for
additional
suggestion
and/or
comments
in
the
evaluation.

9. Workshop
Self-­‐evaluation:
In
general,
I
am
very
pleased
with
the
workshop.
It
was
received
well
and
the
participants
were
very
involved.
I
have
been
to
many
professional
workshops
where
the
participants
seem
to
be
watching
the
clock
and
waiting
for
the
workshop
to
end.
To
my
great
relief,
the
participants
were
interested,
motivated
and
were
eager
to
share
ideas
and
learn.
I
did
a
great
deal
of
research
and
planning
for
the
workshop.
This
definitely
paid
off,
since
I
felt
very
secure
in
my
knowledge
of
the
material
and
was
able
to
answer
participant
questions
with
confidence.
It
was
surprising
how
hard
it
was
to
keep
the
workshop
to
a
reasonable
length
and
still
allow
time
for
interaction
between
the
participants.
My
goal
was
to
not
only
present
the
information,
but
to
allow
them
the
time
to
explore
the
material
and
share
ideas.
I
felt
the
workshop
would
not
be
successful
if
the
participants
did
not
engage
with
other
and
share
lesson
planning
ideas
and
past
experiences
using
Wikis
and
Web
2.0
applications.
The
presentation
had
a
few
hiccups,
which
surprisingly
worked
to
increase
the
involvement
and
contribution
by
the
participants
to
the
overall
workshop.
I
was
unable
to
play
the
tutorials
for
Voki,
GoAnimate
and
Wikispaces
that
I
had
embedded
into
my
PowerPoint
presentation.
The
Cobb
County
Schools
IT
department
blocked
access.
I
then
had
to
work
with
the
participants
to
describe
and
demonstrate
Voki,
GoAnimate
and
how
to
set
up
a
Wikispaces
account.
Working
together
w e
were
able
to
display
on
laptops
a
participants
personal
Voki
and
I
was
able
to
show
my
GoAnimate.
This
actually
ending
up
being
fun,
and
the
participants
were
excited
to
share
ideas
and
personal
experiences.
Going
forward,
I
have
learned
the
hard
lesson
that
the
technology
in
your
presentation
has
to
be
supported
by
the
technology
at
the
site
of
the
workshop.
This
was
a
mistake
on
my
part,
but
also
a
valuable
learning
experience
for
the
future.
I
have
since
learned
how
to
display
these
tutorials
and
videos
in
my
presentation.
I
defined
the
success
of
the
workshop
by
the
following
factors:
the
technology
specialist
for
my
school
has
asked
me
to
share
these
types
of
ideas
and
workshops
with
our
staff
at
Bullard
Elementary
school
and
the
other
workshop
participants
were
genuinely
excited
at
the
possibilities
of
using
these
instructional
tools.
I
am
eager
to
share
my
knowledge
with
other
teachers
and
look
forward
to
my
next
opportunity.

Wikis In The
Classroom
By Scott Price
Wikis In The Classroom
! What is a Web 2.0?
! Web 2.0 is the move toward a more social,
collaborative and interactive World Wide
Web.
! “A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact
and collaborate with each other in a
social media dialogue as creators of
user-generated content in a virtual
community, in contrast to websites
where users (consumers) are limited to
the passive viewing of content that was
created for them.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0
Wikis In The Classroom
! Examples of Web 2.0
! Examples of Web 2.0 include
social networking sites, blogs,
wikis, video sharing sites, hosted
services, and web applications.
