Activity 2.3: Reflection about Web 2.0 tools
by Lizeth Gama Villegas
29th June, 2015
Personally I will choose Text2Mindmap, because
while I was working in this site I realized it is a good online tool to create
mind maps in an easy and ordered way. It allows the surfer be creative in how
he or she want create his/her mind map. Despite it is the first time I had
worked with it in this class I really liked the platform.
Another positive advantage of this site is that
one same project could be modified for one or more participants, so you can ask
students to do an only one mind map among all the classmates in order to agree
in one concept of a topic and add relevant information if they think it is
necessary. When the activity has finished and all students have participated
that topic will be understood and concepts will be clear because students will
do it with their own words.
However, is it important teach them what a mind
map is, its characteristics in order to avoid they put a lot of information on
it because this in this tool you can attach as many information as you want
such as links to other pages, images, documents, etc.
At the beginning it was difficult for me to use
this site, I did not know even it exist but when I was learning to use it, I
regret not to know about it, because if I had known before it exist, I would
have saved lots of hours doing a mind map in Microsoft Word.
I know I need to learn better how to use it to
take advantage of all benefits it offers us. But from my point of view, it is a
good tool and I will recommend it to other teachers. It is funny, creative and
makes your mind maps public to be useful for other people.
