Thing #14

In an undergraduate class I had to create a web which represented my brain storming a topic that I planned on teaching to my class.  My classroom is a prekindergarten room and now that spring is here, we will be learning about insects.  Bubbl.us helped me create this diagram faster and easier than when I did it on my computer.  This might also work with a group of students who are brainstorming their thoughts on a project, each student would be able to have a bubble.


I also looked at the Venn diagrams on Gliffy.  Prekindergarten children are usually only comparing two items, but Venn diagrams help visual learners see the relationship and auditory learners hear the process of the comparison.  In the classroom, the teacher draws the Venn diagram on a large piece of paper and then hangs it in the room.  Using a template would allow the teacher to quickly type in the outcome and then send it home to help the parents reinforce what their child learned that day.
