Sharedwork
• The following slides will highlight the
components of the new Sharedwork website.
• These descriptions will serve as the starting
place for learning the uses of Sharedwork, but
there will be an ongoing dialog for all who are
learning to use this site.
• Please do not hesitate to contact your state
team leader or the IDEA Partnership staff if
there are concerns or if further explanation is

WIKI: What is it?
• Wikis are collaborative pages on the
Sharedwork site which can be edited by
the community or practice group members
at the same time.
Click here for a brief wiki demonstration!
Note: Sharedwork commands differ from this depiction, but
the form/idea is the same.

How can we use Wiki’s?
• Wikis can be used in so many different ways. The IDEA Partnership
staff has been using wikis for the past year mainly for convening
communities of practice and planning meetings and events.
• For example, this year’s annual meeting for the National Community of
Practice on Transition was hosted on the wiki. The agenda, resources,
working documents and issue workgroups were posted on the wiki
prior to the meeting. Meeting notes were captured in real time by
community members and edited and revised after the meeting. This
collaborative tool allows for virtual participation of community members
who could not participate in person.
Other well known ways of using wikis are:
• Fact Sheets and frequently asked questions (FAQs)
• Writing and editing a document collaboratively (not to be confused with
simultaneous editing)
The following slides identify uses the new Sharedwork will offer.

10
How can we use Blogs?
• The blog feature can be used to engage people
in knowledge sharing, reflection, and dialog.
• The most popular are topical blogs focused on a
particular issue. Many of states and practice
groups might think about this function by arranging
a guest blogger.
Other ways of using blogs are:
• Reporting back from an event
• Tracking development over time
• Collecting feedback

How can we use Events Calendar?
• The calendar function will allow
community/practice group members to post
upcoming events in one central location.
• This function will help with coordination of
events and informing the community about
meetings, calls, and webinars they might
want to learn about.
• Great way for state teams to allow regional
participants to put events on the calendar
(This could document an entire states work in
one place!)

How can we use Polls?
A unique way to engage!
• The poll feature can be used to generate feedback on
number of issues.
• It can also be used to facilitate interactions among
sharedwork members, engage new members or
reflect on current practice.
• Polls invite feedback and might be used to introduce
individuals to the range of perspectives on issues that
may be a subject of future work. (the start of new
community work – convening new community work
carried out through various venues – blogs, …)
• A Bloggers view of polls.
• The value in using Polls.

How can we use Message Boards?
• Message Boards are broken down into Categories
instead of folders.
• There are three main functions of a Message Board
– 1) Questions from the field (“I need help…”)
– 2) Information to the field (“I want you to know…”)
– 3) Topics and issues (“I want to talk about…”)

announced such as; meetings, conferences,
publications, a tool(s), etc…
• Announcements show up in two spots
– 1) A brief synopsis of the most recent on main page
– 2) The full information on the Announcement page
