Week 6 Mind mapping and collaboration

Developing this lesson would be related to the augmented reality from the prior week. Upon viewing the information through AR, students will use mind mapping as a collaborative technology tool, to critique the artist work. Working together students would be able to list and explain their thoughts in a public space. Organizing the information students will be evaluating the others artwork and intern gather concepts and ideas, and then personalizing the information, for the creation of their own work in future projects.


In order to develop a culture of collaboration, the teacher will arrange small structured groups of 4 to 5 students giving students an opportunity to work together. The teacher would also assign roles for the students such as presenter, timekeeper, scribe, debater. Each having a role, the presenter may only present knowledge, the duty of the debate would be to argue for their knowledge, the timekeeper’s duty would be to keep the assignment on task and not allow for distractions, while the scribe, based on availability of technology would be to gather notes during informal discussion and recitation while generating a formal document.


From week one, students would utilize the pre-training principle, exploring or reviewing the techniques of the critique. The Mind mapping would also align with the spatial principle generating images located next to proper vocabulary to enhance learning. The collaboration principle would be used with the work of groups, focusing on working together to create a presentation or debate, focusing on what was learned and interpreted.


Reflecting on mind mapping and the integration of this technology tool with others such as augmented reality could be an intriguing device to encourage and strengthen learning in the art classroom. The development of these tools combined would take time out of the classroom. However, once an outline or template is created the reproduction capabilities of these tools would be increased and implementation would be streamlined. I have created mind maps before with students but often they were created the old fashioned way of using a pencil, paper, and gluing images cut out of magazines or books. Too often students were limited to the magazines and a majority of the time was wasted on the searching of proper imagery. By utilizing the computer, the lesson would be streamlined with the proper knowledge of copyright and creative commons laws
