Wiki An Innovation for Co-Knowledge Construct: 

Wiki An Innovation for Co-Knowledge Construct The Wiki is a learning technology tool that enables the co-construct of knowledge. This allows students to integrate their ideas and test new designs, layout and presenting of projects and assignments. 2 Knowledge 1 Knowledge 2 Knowledge co-construct1and 2

Diffusion S - Curve for Wiki Technology (Part 1 of 2): 

Diffusion S - Curve for Wiki Technology (Part 1 of 2) Rogers (2003) states “Diffusion scholars now recognize the concept of re-invention, defined as the degree to which an innovation is changed or modified by user in the process of its adoption and implementation” (p.180). 6 Original HyperCard of 1987 Re-configuring Wiki Page(2010)

Diffusion S - Curve for Wiki Technology (Part 2): 

Diffusion S - Curve for Wiki Technology (Part 2 ) By 2000 the Wiki culture was adopted by many innovators . Ward’s Wiki expanded to create Wikipedia in 2001. In 2007 the continuous increase for the demand of the Wiki gave a boost to the top ten most popular Wiki sites. 7 Top ten Wiki Sites

Technology-Wiki Compatible: 

Technology-Wiki Compatible 9 Browsers Digital learners World Wide Web Internet

Research and Development of the Wiki: 

Research and Development of the Wiki In 1994 Ward Cunningham researched a program that he found to be fast, user friendly, user-editable, and had a culture identity for communication . 10 Ward Cunningham

Sample Wiki-Collaborating: 

Sample Wiki-Collaborating 11 6-Traits Resources . Retrieved from: http://6-traits.blogspot.com/2008/10/writing-process-6-traits-web-20.html

Development & Limitations: 

Development & Limitations 12 The intended audience is class-groups of middle school student (grades 7 level- early adopters). Students will be taught how to set up and use the Wiki How Wiki Works Wiki Diffusion Group

Major Elements in Wiki Design: 

Major Elements in Wiki Design wiki Instructional Design Wiki work page Design State outcome or goal State objectives. Create model/template Emphasize connections and sequence. Design for group interaction and participation. Emphasize language/vocabulary development. Project evaluation for collaboration 13

Commercializing: 

Commercializing Marketing Strategies Diffusion Process: Wiki Work shop presentation Communication channel instruction/interaction, Time: Minimum 35 minutes session per day for three months. Social system identified at the middle-school level. 14 CAI – Students Collaborating via Wiki

Innovators and Early Adopters: 

Innovators and Early Adopters Rogers (2003) postulates “At the time innovators adopt a new idea, there is almost no one else in the system who is experienced with the innovation” ( p.211 ). 15 Change Agent /Innovator in Collaborative Interaction

Laggards and Strategies for Adoption: 

Laggards and Strategies for Adoption Wiki innovation will enhance students’ learning. The Wiki innovation requires teachers from all subject areas to lead by participation for the innovation to be of maximum benefits to students. 16 Opinion leaders/early adopters Laggards

Decentralize vs. Centralize Adoption: 

Decentralize vs. Centralize Adoption The Wiki will be diffused at the decentralized level in anticipation for takeoff. On Evaluation of diffusion challenges and review the centralized level will be initiated. 17 Decentralized /single unit Centralize covers many units

Key Change Agent/s in my Organization : 

Key Change Agent/s in my Organization Rogers (2003, p.371-372) , 7 roles for change agent success in Innovation diffusion, essential to: Develop… Establish… Instruct… Diagnose… Create… Stabilize… Achieve… 18 Change Agent roles Idea sounds awesome

Wiki Reaching Critical-Mass in Wider Society: 

Wiki Reaching Critical-Mass in Wider Society 19 Wiki Diffusion in Corporation Government & Higher Learning Critical-mass Projected Wiki Diffusion for K - 12

Innovations in Organizations: 

Innovations in Organizations Optional Innovation Decision Authority Innovation Decision 20 I am sorry but I will not buy into your innovation Innovations that are made by individuals or power group can cause success or failure in diffusion in the social system(Rogers, 2003. p.403).

Best Innovation Decision for Wiki Diffusion: 

Best Innovation Decision for Wiki Diffusion Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress. Ted Levitt. (2011) 21 Positive Collaborative among Opinion Leaders, Change Agent and Adopters

Need for Wiki Innovation: 

Need for Wiki Innovation Technology is widely advocated by the federal government to drive the curriculum. This is leading most states to buy into a national standard curriculum by September 2014. 22 President Barack Obama

Information Technology: Matching The Wiki for Innovative Technology: 

Information Technology: Matching The Wiki for Innovative Technology 23 . The Wiki is web 2.0 technology that provides asynchronous learning for both traditional and distance education via collaborative interaction. Wiki web 2.0 interactivity

Presentation to the Board of Directors: 

Presentation to the Board of Directors 24 The Wiki has proven dominance for collaborative interaction in larger corporate society. K-12 learners and faculty are poised for 21 st century benefits.
