This is simply a follow up post to show what my children have managed to produce using Dipity. I’m really proud of the way that they’ve come such a long way in a short period of time. The results are developing all the time.
AIM: To produce a shared timeline of John Lennon’s life as part of our study of post war history.
WHY:
- To encourage children to find, read, analyse and distill information based on a historical event / person of importance.
- To encourage children to organise themselves in work groups delegating responsibilities and collaborating in a real sense.
I have to say that the more the children have worked together on this project the more convinced I am that this sort of collaborative work creates true ‘deep learning’ experiences.
LESSONS LEARNT:
- Dipity is an excellent tool for collaboration and really works well in this context.
