Thing 12: Second Attempt

Well....there it is...WHEW! I played around and finally ended up saving it in my photo shop as a picture.

Anyway...I can see how this could be a great little tool for brainstorming with a class. Again, I like the idea that kids can collaborate together to add their ideas and keep building the web. Having the ability for the creators to design and edit a brainstorming web like this makes it more meaningful for them. When we give students the pre-made graphic organizers, they can be limiting to the "bubbles" and design. By giving them the opportunity to decide where to put their ideas, makes the activity much more authentic.

Ok...so now I am off to figure out what to do next on our rainy vacation...and maybe add to my brainstorming list!

  1. Thanks for sharing your example. I think the raining while in a tent thing has pretty much turned me off from camping... unless I have Internet access that is :)
