together

understanding of a subject.
What is Collaboration?

DDBC is Collaborative

Top Down vs. Collaborative Systems
Top Down
• Power is at the top
• One person owns the
knowledge
• Makes decisions alone
• Authority delivers the
final product
• Follows strict rules
Collaborative
• Power is shared by a team
• We respect the wisdom
and expertise of the team
• Encourage team input
• Final product is shared
• Love brainstorming
• Allow rules to evolve

• Fear of technology
• Need to control
• Equal access to devices
• Training
• Taking time from regular curriculum topics to
train in use of technology
• Expectation that catechesis only takes place
for one hour

Ministers are able to develop a digital
workplace that leads to engaged,
productive collaborators who innovate
and create 21st Century Digital Faith
Formation.

What is a Digital Workplace?
The digital workplace is a concept that describes
how technology is increasingly creating a virtual
equivalent of the physical workplace, and how that
trend allows us to rethink traditional processes.

and
seasonal
activities.

Wikis are Flexible Tools

What is Embedding?
Embed: To incorporate (a video or
other item of data) within the body
of a web page or other document.

Some of our
modules have
additional
reading, such
as this
downloadable
eBook in the
Orientation
Module

In some of your wiki
homework, there will
be assignments asking
you to embed an
example of a digital
tool.
This is a Google Form,
embedded in the wiki.

In EDIT mode, find SOURCE

SOURCE will toggle you in and out of
the HTML Code view

Now go to your digital tool and copy
the embed code.

Your embedded item will display after
you save your work.

PBWorks has a “Comment” feature at the
bottom of each page.

Contact Your Coach If Needed!
