  •  
    Excellent ideas for mind mapping and brainstorming digitally. Several of the resources are for the iPad or iPhone I have used Popplet and Wallwisher several times in my classroom and both resources are popular with my students.

    This is a nice site, Holly. The highlighted steps would make a nice handout for this course -- I can see how it might be helpful to keep it handy as a constant reminder not to rush when implementing new strategies.

      Good points to remember
  • On 3×5 note cards, students write a quick response to a question you pose at some point during class. The question might be on the previous night’s reading, or it might ask students to link two recent lecture topics. You might post the question on the board for students who arrive early and want an extra few minutes to consider and write.

  • At the end of the class, pose a minute-write question about the day’s material. If students seem to be confused, you know immediately and can send a clarifying email or begin the next class addressing the issue.
  • After collecting the cards, you can quickly review a few before launching the day’s lecture or activities to see how well students understand.
  • a microtheme of five minutes or so. Used mid-class, a micro-theme serves as a break between activities. After students write, usually on both sides of a large note card (5×8), they turn their responses in, or trade them with a classmate in a think-pair-share activity

      This would be very non-threatening. You could really reach more students this way and clear up any questions right away.
