DebateGraph | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

description by Internet Scout Project


DebateGraph states, "to change the world you need to look at it in a different way." Many would agree; this platform gives multiple partners the ability to visualize and share different ideas. It's a neat concept and it's one that has been used by the United Kingdom's Foreign Office and CNN. A helpful "how-to" area can get users started and the application allows visitors to link ideas visually via a very easy-to-use interface. This version of debate graph is compatible with all operating systems

Jim Lerman's insight:

An online, interactive, collaborative mind-mapping tool. Looks quite versatile.

This newly released list from the AASL is split into six categories:

* Media Sharing

* Digital Storytelling

* Manage and Organize

* Social Networking and Communication

* Content Resources

* Curriculum Collaboration

Each category is also aligned to standards for the 21st century learner (geared to librarians but you will find similar standards within Common Core).

Each resource is described and includes suggested grade levels as well as a tip. A few of the resources are listed below. You may also access the lists from 2009 - 2012.

* QuadBlogging

* Youngzine

* LitPick

* MyHistro

* Easel.ly

Great sites that make tech engaging for students...sharing, collaborating, and sites to help with organization, plus much more.
