Mindmap. This tool will allow

interests during brainstorming

Students will be required to create an
outline for a research paper on a
planet of their choice. Using the online
tool Bubbl.us, students can incorporate
their ideas and brainstorming into
something that provides structure to
their writing, while helping ideas and
thoughts flow logically.
More so, this tool can be used to keep
ideas organized so nothing runs in
different directions. Upon completion,
students will get into small groups,
discuss their topic and share outline
with the classmates in that group. J psiitoon F)Trend Identified
As students transition from elementary to
middle school and then high school,
requirements and learning tools become
more complex. When broken down into
different age groups, it is clear to see that
the indicator stays the same, however the
digital tools change and so do the
techniques/requirements. Assignments
become more difficult and require more
time and work as the years go by. Take my
example of 2A on brainstorming. Students
progressed from a simple fun
brainstorming web to outlining a research
essay! That is pretty impressive.PeowToon
