This took about 2 minutes to do. I let the students chose the template (honest), I don't have such bad taste - but want them to identify with the process. The lesson aims were to produce an online mind map and podcast and post on the blog. They were encouraged to comment on each others posts and I also commented on each post to encourage and provide advice for improvement. I must say that the lessons were thoroughly enjoyable and some terrific learning took place. Most students gave a mark of 7/10 for the effectiveness of the learning experience and 10/10 for enjoyment. One student said that she preferred to learn with her text book, pen and paper. I asked her if she had been able to do that in the lessons and she replied "yes". The learning was flexible and differentiated and students worked in their preferred style.
Lesson aims
Today, my Y12 students worked on a collaborative mind map to revise for their exam. This was impressive and although incomplete, was a very powerful process.I really encourage you to add the collaborative use of web 2.0 into the mix of possible learning activities where appropriate. Sit back, relax and enjoy the experience.
