UAQ - Self PD - ESL teachers

Create, share and collaboratively work on mind maps with MindMeister, the leading online mind mapping software. Includes apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. There are many other online mind mapping tools which you can use to attract your students' attraction after practicing reading and listening skills and in order to start applying writing skill. I have experienced inspiration software which is fantastic for assisting students to create ideas but unfortunately it is not free.

Thanks for the application as well. I hope teachers will use it, I'm sure students will enjoy it.

Dear teachers, Before using mind mapping strategy have a look at this site to know the difference between Concept mapping and mind mapping. Concept mapping and mind mapping are powerful graphic organizers, strategies for organizing and representing knowledge. They were developed during the seventies. The terms may seem to be interchangeable, but there are some differences in the way they are created and used. On the map above we can see some key differences and similarities between these two techniques.

many thanks Ms Khawla for this clarification. I think it's necessary to know the difference before starting the implementation of this strategy.

here where you can start creating your online lesson. There are many other websites which are for free, by just typing FREE WEBQUEST.

This page will explain what is webquest and how it can be used.

All Teachers are required to memorize this Anthem and sing it every morning to themselves, to their students and to the whole world. Nothing could be more energizing and motivating for us, Teachers! Shall we try?

I liked this line in the anthem and I do believe in it despite all the obstacles that come in our way. "You have the kind of power that can change the human race".

wishing you nice weekend

I actually do the "eat the frog" advice of Mark Twain. I usually start my day by tackling the hardest problem. This gives me a feeling of achievement early in the day, which has the effect of motivating me to carry on with the rest of the chores.

Here we are, add you comments and say why!!!!!!!

A very nice video. Very true as well.

A nice idea to revise vocabulary, affixes, POS...etc.

I like that. It's simple and manageable for all teachers; it requires no money nor effort. Nevertheless it's very helpful for students.

how simple ideas may spread education all over the world.
