Last week I finally got round doing something I had wanted to do with my Yr11 classes for a long time. We acted a Displacement - Time graph. This might not sound amazing to you and I have done a similar activity in the past, but this time the difference was that my learners could actually check their [...]

In my previous post I showed the first part of my boys’ story mind map, i.e. the mind map we designed together to tell the story they were creating. We used iMindMap 5 because we wanted eventually to narrate their story by recording audio comments on branches. That turned out to be a really effective [...]

Today I had great fun with my four and six year old boys (my two year old was also helping) in creating a story using a mind map. The whole idea came from an inspiration I had earlier from the ThinkBuzan newsletter, which encouraged parents to do fun activities with iMindMap 5, one of them [...]
