Using iThought in the Classroom

iThought will be a good tool for me to teach language in my classroom. Students will have opportunities to brainstorm ideas about a given topic. They can organize their thought processes and turn these ideas into structured written pieces by creating and using mind maps.

For example, when I introduce family members, I can just simply ask students to create a family tree with iThought. In a project-based learning, students can use iThoughts to brainstorm, collaborate, and organize their goals, responsibilities, research, and work flow. They can also use it to take notes to demonstrate their understandings of a topic covered in class. Students can then share their maps with their peers using the various sharing options and comment on each other’s work.
