5 minDuring this module you will experience mind mapping as a classroom strategy as you gain abetter understanding of the use of various apps in your classroom. Now that you arefamiliar with digital libraries and have been using various apps along the way, you are readyto have a closer look at the potential of apps in and out of your classroom.Reflection10 minReflect in your groups on what you have learned and applied since theprevious session. You may need to consult the reflection notes youmade in your Memoires app. What worked and what did not work? Why? How did you use your mobile device? Explain how you used the Learning Stations Strategy in yourclassroom. How does the Learning Stations Strategy support 21st century skills (the 4 C’s)?Managing apps25 minThis is a fun competition activity (if you are in a group workshop) to demonstrate how youcan collaborate to find things out quickly, while learning how to manage the apps on yourdevice. It works like this: All groups decide on their war cry The facilitator will challenge your group to perform afunction on their devices. Once every group member has performed thefunction they shout their war cry and hold bothhands above their heads. Note down the challenge and how you solve it in thespace provided.Challenge 1Challenge 2:2

Challenge 3:Challenge 4:Challenge 5General group discussion: What skills did you learn? Which 21st century skills did this activity require?How I felt15 minIn this activity you will express visually how you felt when you first started this course bydrawing a picture using either pens and colour pencils ora drawing app.1. Each member of the group must hand in anelectronic copy of their drawing.2. Half the members of the group must use pens andcolour pencils to draw how they felt at thebeginning of this course and when they arefinished, take a photo of their drawing.3. The other half of the group will use an app calledPaint Joy (or any other drawing app) to sketchhow they felt. Remember to save your creation.4. You may use the Random Student Picker app to choose who will use the drawingapp.5. Some ideas to guide your drawing: Were you scared, excited, happy, miserable ? How can you draw feelings? Remember to draw “stuff” that will help the viewer to understand yourpicture. You can draw what you are too scared to say out loud.3

6. All photos and drawings must be shared with your facilitator using either Bluetooth,Wi-Fi or a cable.7. Explain to your group what your picture is saying.8. Decide which method was a better choice for this activity, using a tablet or usingcolour pencils and paper?Mind mapping your apps75 minsIn this activity you will use mind mapping as a learning and teaching strategy.Mind mapping (also known as brain storming)A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. A mind map is often createdaround a single word or text, placed in the centre, to which associated ideas, words andconcepts are added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories aresub-branches of larger branches. Categories can represent words, ideas, tasks, or other itemsrelated to a central key word or idea.Mind maps can be drawn by hand, either as "rough notes" during a lecture or meeting or ashigher quality pictures when more time is available. An example of a rough mind map isillustrated. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind map)You will find more mind mapping articles, information and examples in your Module 5resource folder to help you implement this strategy in your classroom.4

To see how mind mapping can be used to organise ideas and topics, you now will makesense of all the apps on your device by organising them into various categories.Instructions:1. In your group, create a communal mind map that will organise your apps into thefollowing possible categories: ( You may create your own categories as well) Productivity (Office or work related apps -create work related files e.g. worddocuments, spreadsheets, presentations, calendars) Tools (Apps that helps you organise your device/files or folders, timers,scanners, maps, calculators, torch, barcode scanners.) Multimedia (Photo, Video & audio- capturing, viewing and editingmultimedia) Drawing (sketches and hand written notes) Reading (library, ebooks and curation) Reference (encyclopaedias and search) Games (Fun and educational games) School (apps that help you manage your classes and learners, createquizzes .) Social (apps that helps you communicate, email, chat, talk, share, discuss MultiMediaGamesReadingThese are some of the apps that you have used and will be using. For a descriptionof what each one of them can do see the App sheet in your Module 5 resourcefolder.5

2. Open the app called Simplemind and create your own app mind mapusing your group’s mind map as an example. You can create differentcategories if you like. Save it as a picture and share (bluetooth/email)with your facilitator.How-totutorials How to use SimpleMind3. Use the following rubric to make sure that your mind map is of an acceptable standard.Assessment rubric for the mind map exercisePoor (0)Fair (1)Good (2)Excellent (3)The extentof themind mapJust a fewitems in themap; no clueof the topicsOnly the mostrelevantconceptspresentAll of thefundamentalconcepts presentwith someadditional detailsAll of thefundamentalconcepts presentwith a large numberof details identifiedDepth ofthe mindmapVery shallow;just one ortwo levelsSeveral levelsfor sometopics; shallowfor othersSeveral levelswith a goodbalance betweendifferent topicsTopics are dividedinto a multitude offiner levels in a clearand continuousfashionLogicalthinking,subdivisionand clarityNo clear logicin the mindmap or logicalerrors; wrongsubdivision ofconcepts orno subdivisionDifferentconceptsclearly sorted;some links andinter-relationsmarkedDifferentconcepts clearlysorted; severallinks and interrelationsidentifiedClear and easy tounderstandrepresentation withlinks and interrelations on variouslevels identified; therefinement ofconcepts to variouslevels is systematicOriginalityof themind mapA commonpresentationcopying thestructure ofthe coursematerialBased on thestructure ofnotes withsome ownideasOwn way ofexpressingconcepts anddetails based onthe notes contentOwn way ofexpressing ideasbased on thetheoreticalbackground; goingbeyond the lecturesand the lecturematerialScoreFinal score6

4. Use your mind map to create folders on your tablet homescreenaccording to the categories that you have identified.How-totutorials Lesson plan ideasHow to open, use andmanage apps.20 minIn the previous activity we used minds mapping to organise our apps visually and in reality on ourtablets.This strategy can be used to great effect with ourlearners in the classroom to help them tounderstand complex topics. Mind mapping is justas relevant for the lower grades and pre school byusing pictures. They can either use a drawing ormind mapping app to draw their maps or do it onpaper using paper like we have practiced.In the following example the mind map shows thedifferent food groups. For more mind mappingideas see your resource folder.1. What is the advantageof using mind maps inyour classroom?2. Brainstorm some mindmapping lesson planideas.3. How does Mindmapping support 21stlearning skills?7

This course has been designed for classrooms where all learners and teachers have access totheir own mobile device. In contexts where this is not possible, you will need to reflect onhow you will use your particular technology provisions within the given teaching strategy.One deviceExamplesYou can use the mind mapping strategywithout any embedded technology. Thisstrategy is ideal for getting learners tobrainstorm ideas or classify topics. Life sciences: Biodiversity - classificationof micro-organisms. Foundation Phase: Learners can classifyfood groups. Expert Mathematics: Classify the differentgeometrical shapes. Languages: Explore the variouscomponents of an essay/poem.If you only have one device, for exampleif only the teacher has a device, you canstill use it to bring technology into theMind mapping strategy. 5 or more devicesIf you borrow 4 more devices from yourcolleagues or have the use of aMobikit/trolley of devices, you can giveeach group a device to create a mind mapwith. Ask the learners to create a mindmap on paper first following aExpertdiscussion.The group members take turns toinsert their idea into the mindmapping app.Ask them to create a screenshot oftheir mind map.They then share their group’s mapwith the teacher.Ask the learners to do their mind-map(or a section of a mind map) on apiece of paperExpertPass the device around so that allgroups can add their section to thecommunal mind map.Teacher can use the one device torecord what the groups are doing1 to 1 deviceThis is the ideal scenario for embeddedtechnology and ideal where each membermust try the skill on his/her device. Learners can create their mind map ontheir individual devices.They then take a screenshot of theirmind map.ExpertThey Bluetooth/share their mind-map.Each group member swap their devicewith the personnext to them andthey can then usea rubric to evaluateeach other’smind-maps.11
