MINDOMO is an online mapping tool that lets users create mind maps to organize their ideas. It is like bubbl.us, but MINDOMO has another advantage. That is, users can linked multimedia, such as photographs, video and hyperlinks to web sites, to subtopics to help organize information and to make it more interactive.
I think MINDOMO can stimulate students critical thinking. Students can be separated into groups and they can share their ideas or give others feedback.

I think your idea for using a mind-mapping tool as an assessment is good and unique. It would also be a great way for teachers to get an understanding of how students are specifically comprehending information by viewing how they get the "big picture". I would sign up and see how mindomo works, but I need to keep my e-mail box clean from all these great web 2.0 messages!
回覆刪除I really like the multimedia tool you found. MINDOMO would be extremely helpful for visual learners, especially as it allows the ability to link more of a variety of multimedia than other similar online tools. I think it would be interesting to see how students would use the tool either for learning or for assessment.
回覆刪除Nice too1! Please put a link to MINDOMO on our class wiki site. I am sure the entire class would be interested in this. I really like how you have suggested ways that students might use this tool in the classroom.
