The tool Gülsüm and I had shown in the classroom was Bubbl.us. This application is used for brainstorming and making mind-mapping activities by usig several diagrams. Now let me explain how to use and make mind-maps step by step.
Bubble-us is a
tool which enables you to create brainstorming diagrams for any topic.
How to use?
1. After opening up bubbl.us on your browser,
you need to sign up with your e-mail if you want to save your diagrams.
2. After having an account you can easily begin
to create your diagram with clicking the first bubble that appeared on the
page. First bubble is the parent bubble that is its good for you to write your
main idea on parent bubble.
3. By clicking
ctrl+enter you can create a child bubble. This bubble is a subcategory of the
parent bubble and also you can create sibling bubbles,with using tab button,
that are in the same category with the child bubble as well.
4. After completing your diagram you can save
it as an image using export feature. If you want to share your diagram
you need to click share button and share it with e-mail.
Also you can
export your work.You can move, delete, change the colour of text and the bubble
itself. I suppose you to use this tool creating brainstorming diagrams. In
classroom environment we can also use this tool to create family trees. for
instances; we create the tree itsef then give it to the students and want them
to fill in it. Interactively we can create a brainstorming with students; we as
teachers give the main idea and expand the diagram with students' opinions. It
is easy to use so we can want them to create diagrams at home too.
