tiny bubbles…i mean…bubbl.us….
Have you used Inspiration with your classes yet? If not, that’s ok — I’ve got better for you!
This is an on-line, graphic, collaborative way to brainstorm. Take a look at a sample screen shot:
Bubbl.us is stripped down to the necessary buttons and features. It states that one of its main goals is simplicity – such that a 6th grader can figure it out in 10 seconds or less.
And guess what else I found for you? A teacher who actually uses this program with his class, assigns them to create “mindmaps” and then also requires them to post the maps to their blogs!! What an inspiration to me this teacher is! Be sure to click on that link and spend some time scouting around his and his students’ efforts.
With second semester beginning – I can always use a bit of excitement and inspiration to get my enthusiasm back up, I think this could well help with the winter classroom “blahs”.
