The options for this weeks assignment were overwhelming to say the least. I finally decided on Mindomo. I currently only teach 4th grade math. I wanted something that could be collaboratively used with my students. Since vocabulary is often a deficit, I thought Mindomo would be a good tool to use for students to create maps to help them remember their vocabulary and to become accustom to applying it correctly. I also saw an opportunity for students to be ale to work together and have great math discussion while creating their maps. Mindomo has a free subscription but you can also buy it to create more complicated projects.

After I created my first map, I showed my Enrichment Math Club after school to gather their input. It received rave reviews. My plan is to show them how to use it first, then have them help me teach it to my 3 math classes. The program has a turotial and it's not difficult to use. Students can pick the style map they want, add sub topics, text, connect links, and videos. Students can even print a outline of their work and add it to their notes.

In addition to using Mindomo, this was also my first experience using Adobe Spark. I'm trying to force myself out of my comfort level and get myself acquainted with as much new tech as I can.

Great to hear you are stepping out of your comfort zone! Hopefully the reaction of your students that were already introduced to Mindomo will cause you to continue to try new strategies and tools with them.
ReplyDeleteThis program is fantastic Julianne! We have so many apps and programs that we can use with our students, that I am finding it hard to keep up! Thank you for sharing this experience, now I am ready to go into the program and learn more about it.
