Collaborative timelimes using Dipity.

Posted by: mrkp | June 12, 2008 |

 

 

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.
