This document provides an overview of a science lesson on kinetic energy that incorporates ICT tools. The 60-minute lesson will have students use online mind mapping software to create maps showing their understanding of how energy is required to do work. Working in groups, students will discuss roles and responsibilities for developing different concepts on their shared mind maps. The use of online tools allows students to monitor and provide feedback on each other's work in a way that promotes collaborative and self-directed learning. The teacher emphasizes that patience is needed when working with technology and that students should feel comfortable using the online tools.

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
