This amazing new FREE web based tool was passed onto me by Sheela Shankar who came across it. I had a quick play and before you know it I have a brainstorm ready to go to share with my students. It is one of the easiest tools I have used in a while, so I recommend you give it a go with your year 9's in BYOD classes.
Basically you set a question and give students a link. They then enter as many answer as you let them. What an awesome way to have a visual brainstorm. Below is what they will see. Here is a link to the website: http://answergarden.ch/welcome/ To extend on its uses, teachers and students can take screenshots at the end to put into their class notes. :)
A very helpful post from Richard Byrne on the 'Free Technology for Teachers' website. This is good for students who have laptops or chromebooks. For those that are using ipads they have the option to use imovie and android tablets could use Explain Everything.
"The process uses Google Slides and WeVideo and can be completed using Chromebooks or laptops. You can also make them with a desktop computer as long as you have a microphone. "
Links to his Helpful Tutorials on how to do this:
Step 1: Create your slideshow in Google Slides and download each one to your device. Step 2: Log in at WeVideo and put your images from Step 1 into a video. Step 3: Record your narration for each slide. Step 4: Publish the video to Google Drive where you’ll be able to share it with your teacher. The following tips that he gives are really helpful, Thanks Richard.
