In today's lesson, it was interesting to learn about and work with a brainstorming /mind mapping tool. We used Mind Meister and discovered how it worked and what is possible in using the tool. I see it as a powerful tool that would enable students to create, share and collaboratively work on mind maps.
At the end, our facilitator, Mr Ray placed the information we had contributed and shared into smartnotebook and had us further interact with the smartboard to place the information from the mind map into different categories. This allowed us the additional opportunity to evaluate the information that was shared on the map.
ICT as an information resource is fantastic.
It would be great and greatly beneficial for teachers to collaborate online. We can share information that would mutually assist us in our teaching and get ideas for students' learning.
The brainstorming activity we did was successful. We learnt how this can be done and shared ideas on how this can be used in teaching and learning.
I like the teachers collaboration via the brainstorming idea...how cool to develop theme based activities etc via an online collaboration!
