If I want to engage my students in learning processes I have to make the do things and possibly be a teacher and a source of inspiration to each other as well.
I think that all students can capitalise on thoughts and organisational skills of other students within their learning group.
Hey - brainstorming and organisation at once? This sounds like a think that has been around for ages.
The MINDMAP!
How about adding a new flavour to this home cooked dish?
What about replacing the sheet of paper and the pen by a laptop, table or even a smartphone?
What about replacing individual mind-maps by collaborative ones?
What about putting mind-maps together as a homework instead of during the lesson time?
MindMeister is the answer. This short clip will show you how it works in a nutshell.
And of course it is a German company! :)
How to use it during your lessons is for you to find out. :) I am using it in this example to get students to collaborate for a scientific project.
Best thing is MindMeister is available on literally every platform. If you are a risk taker, just click on the logo to start with the cost free basic account. Or what the short little introduction video on how to set up an account, make some annotations and share with students or colleagues.
Brainstorming has never been faster, project progress has never been easier updated.
