WALT: use mindmapping as a learning tool
Watch the 5min video from YouTube about the power of mindmapping. You may need to ask your parents for permission to use YouTube. Getting that permission is YOUR responsibility. Actually the best thing to do would be to watch the video with your parents so that they understand why we are using this tool in class this year.
In class you will be asked to create a mindmap about 'YOU" which will allow you to have a go at mindmapping and help the rest of us to get to know you better. You will also be introduced to MindMeister.
WALT: add brief informative comments and add links or embeds in a blog comment
Once you have watched the above video try and find another video or website that teaches you about another study skill or learning tool that you think would be useful for others in the class to view. Make a comment on this post that includes a one sentence summary of the tool and an embed to the video or a link to the website. Again you need to talk to a parent about what your family guidelines are to do with searching the net. Do not search the net without permission. If parents say "No" respectfully ask if they would be willing to supervise you whilst you did a brief search to do with a specific learning topic.

I just worked out that you can not embed into a comment so you will not be able to load a video but you can still insert a link so that others can visit the location of a video.
