What an overload of content that is being taken from the good ol' blackboard and being slapped onto our Smart board. Editing advantages, ease of use to add, include and delete aspects as they come to mind only enhances the students’ engagement for our chosen task.
The purpose of a mind map or cognitive organiser has always been about allowing students to visualise their own ideas and concepts, providing ownership of the task. Now as an individual they are able to communicate how they see links to other content pathways and create new 'thought bubbles' as they generate these ideas.
I can definitely see myself integrating this into my task activities to better assist the explanation of linking content to a core factor. Tasks that involve creating innovative products always stem from an existing product and contain functions/factors of design. Students will have the opportunity to make their own links to relevant factors and critique final decisions against final products providing beneficial feedback on their own work.
