Today Scott introduced us to Mind Mapping - through Bubbl Us - however it didn't work! We then googled "Mindmeister" and had a play with this mind mapping program. I can really see the educational value of this. I will need to spend a fair amount of time "playing" with Mindmeister before introducing it to the class.
GLOGSTER!!! Brilliant. I can already see possibilities for my Year 4 class using this program next term. Our topic is "Co-operating Communities." Would love to see the students prepare a glogster on their local area and neighbouring suburbs. Should be able to use a variety of technologies in this unit. Thanks Scott for offering to come out to help in the classroom with GLOGSTER. I will definitely take you up on this offer.
Thanks again Scott for coming so early to our school and working with the staff. I am finding working with you and our staff a much better way of learning than doing the Web 2.0 Course on my own. We have so many opportunities to ask you questions and share our learning (and questions) with other staff members. The support is invaluable to me.
Mavis,
ReplyDeleteI hear your the GLOGSTER expert! It is a good program - have already used it with Stage 3 students - created a motivated classroom just by incorporating new technologies into the classroom. The possibilities are endless.
Sorry for the educational - language and response - i'm sure you'll see through that!
