6. Lesson Flow
Recap P4 topic & KWL chart
Activity TB & Potential energy
Hands on Toys & energy conversion
Mindmap
7. SDL elements
Construct 1:
Ownership of learning
Tr has given specific instructions and ample time for
pupils to complete mind map. Groups discuss prior to
creation of maps as to members’ roles and
responsibilities
8. SDL elements
Construct 2:
Management & Monitoring of Own Learning
Online mindmapping allows for all members to check on
each other’s work. Ideas that may not be appropriate
can be readily rectified and improved upon.
9. SDL elements
Construct 3:
Extension of Own Learning
Pupils can tap on the abundant wealth of resources and
information outside of classroom context i.e. online.
Sharing of mindmaps for other groups to view and
comment encourages learning and accepting different
opinions/possibilities.
10. CoL elements
Construct 1:
Effective Group Processes
Groups discuss prior to creation of maps as to
members’ roles and responsibilities. Pupils clearly state
on a branch off the main central idea on their mind map
as to who is in charge of what aspect and development
of concepts in the mind map.
11. CoL elements
Construct 2:
Individual & Group Accountability of Learning
Online mindmaping allows for constant and unlimited
revisions. Status of each individual member’s work are
clearly displayed for all to see!
12. no need to hand in books
aid in understanding of concepts anytime, anywhere
very convenient
makes learning fun
neater
last long
IMPACT!
stay connected to friends to brainstorm
eco-friendly
faster & better than writing
13. Learning points
• Patience is KEY when working with
technology, lagging, etc.
• Pupils need to be relatively comfortable
with using

We all know the many benefits of mindmapping as a summative pedagogical tool applicable to various discipline of learning. the advent of the internet and especially Web 2.0 tools provides a platform for mindmapping to acheive greater heights where our PUPILS can SDL and collaborate.
