Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version. Via Baiba Svenca

Research shows that mind maps (graphic organizers) are effective during all stages of learning. You can use them as an introduction to a unit, during the unit for continued note taking, or at the conclusion as a formative assessment to make sure your students truly understand the material.

Revising that might more clearly articulate the differences between physical and digital communities, so a decent definition of digital citizenship then might be “Self-monitored participation that reflects conscious interdependence with all (visible and less visible) community members” Via Nik Peachey

As our students become more aware of the technology around them, we as educators and parents need to spend time talking face-to-face on what is appropriate and what may need to be kept to oneself. This TeachThought post that Nik shared on his Scoop.it site is a good starting point for discussions.

Unfortunately we find that what happens the most, especially in schools is that educators and administrators tend to shy away from this responsibility and limit their teaching to the way they have been taught, thus excluding all the elements that are now pronouncing us as digital citizens in a society.

It is natural - people can chose who they want to communicate with It is a positive MOOC of that will expand the world into a new age of freedom and abundance . Delete the scoop?

Using Technology to Connect Students & the Environment illustrates how technology can further STEM learning through the environment, both in nature and in the classroom.
The video demonstrates how the students of Islesboro Central School in Maine use technology to help document the ecological condition of nature preserves near their school.
