goals
Serve as a resource for your questions about other education systems (i.e., USA, UK, Kenya)
Your take aways:• Some experiences with collaborative
mindmapping
• Some understanding of how/why it works
• Some examples that you could implement on Monday morning in your classroom
agenda
Welcome and introductions all around Q&A on any topic … KTK112 – Homogeneous dyads
complete F-2-F mindmap activity KTK138 – Same dyads, use software to

tools
Yellow stickies!! Pencil and paper may be best for your classroom
Software – PowerPoint is pretty good Inspiration is good but expensive for your
school CMAP tool is free, but your tech person
will have to agree to support it
How have you used cm or mm?
Activity 1
Find like-minded partners to form a homogenous team (grade, subject, etc.), name your team to reflect the members
Divide text passage into sections, as you read, underline important words and phrases, add to yellow stickies, stick on the big paper
When all are done, working together to reach consensus, sort the stickies into related clusters
Working together to reach consensus, clean up clusters (combine, delete, add terms), name the clusters
Take this mindmap to the lab
Cluster analysis
Brainstorming(corpus list)
Sorting(move like terms closer)
Merging & Pruning(combine like terms,
delete or move unlike terms,synthesize terms)
enter
Naming Clusters(name the categories/themes)
Sorting Clusters(move like clusters closer)
Naming broad themes(name the cluster of clusters)
and if necessary
E-document (to save/print)
Build consensus!
Activity 2 In KTK138, convert from paper to a PowerPoint slide
(save as ‘group’ name) Divide the slide into parts, individually (and pairs) enrich
your part on a new slide. “Enrichment” is open-ended. The bottom line, decide as a group what you want the final product to accomplish for you (you might consider adding your real-life examples that you can use later and hyperlinks to supporting documents, lesson plans, and images,…)
Combine all new slides into one take away file, share with your group
