**Abstract:** Choose, establish, and implement a school-wide wiki designed for faculty, administrators, and staff. The purpose of the wiki is to provide a thorough and efficient tool for information sharing and collaboration. We hope that this wiki will also serve as a way to provide an opportunity for collaboration that we currently lack in our faculty and staff meeting schedules. We envision the wiki as working to extend our current face-to-face meeting times, rather than to replace them. =====

=
Based on the discussions we've already had surrounding curriculum mapping, we are trying to further enable departments to collaborate. We definitely don't have enough collaboration within departments or among departments. =====

=
We want every faculty member to try and find a use for the school Wiki we have created. The evidence we will have that this actually happened will be on the Wiki itself (looking at department pages, course pages, activity pages, etc. to gauge participation). Success will be measured not by __total__ buy-in, but by whether or not the Wiki is used at all. I think we expect this to be a work in progress, even beyond this 2010-2011 school year. =====

=
**April 20: At the first of two all-school department meetings, PLP reps in each department administered our survey of the faculty's current relationship with technology and then introduced the SSES wiki to department members.** =====

=
**April 27: At the second department meeting, PLP reps checked in with department members about success with login. Either prior to this meeting or during the meeting, department members practiced uploading a document and/or a link to a file.** =====

**Evaluation and Results**

 * Lesson learned (well, not learned, we already knew this) is that time continues to be the enemy. Not only finding the time for our PLP team to meet and work through things, but time for our faculty to take to devote to something in which they are not yet completely invested. Some departments received the project better than others and will definitely use the Wiki to different degrees and in different ways. We are now in the phase of encouraging participation and offering to be support people for those who need it.**
