Wk 2-Synthesizing our discussions

Some participants have made suggestions about different tools that they use for synthesising multiple perspectives. One simple but effective method I've used is to use textas, poster pages and a digital camera. This hands on method, with learners working in groups, promotes lots of conversation, furthers learning and is rather fun. Just snap the final product and it can be uploaded to our P2PU space.

Working either individually, in small group or collaboratively with the larger group experiment with coming up with a synthesis of the contributions for one topic, a couple of topics or the whole weeks contributions.

Maybe you would like to add your thoughts about key ideas which have emerged for you from this weeks discussions to our wallwisher 'noticeboard'...

Optional activity

Maybe you have come up with another approach you would like to try. Why not try it out and get some feedback from our group participants?

    I added a link to my eportfolio on nixty.com and this tool can combine courses with ‘Courses I've Completed’, ‘Recommendations from other people’ and ‘Work Display’.  You can also upload your CV and get reputation by answering questions or posting discussion topics or comments.

    I have never used Wallwisher before so that was fun. I added my resources :)

    Stixy and Lino are great alternatives to Wallwisher ;-)

    textas = fat felt-tipped pens (for anyone else, who like me didn't get the reference :)

    Thinking about that, I'm wondering if WallWisher might be a way to do this. Here's a wall we can play with for synthesizing week 2 if you like: http://wallwisher.com/wall/p2pueportwk2

    Textas -ummmh ...... old brand name in Australia. Yes, as Karen described but I must add they were the school equipment to die for ! If you turned up with textas you were pretty hot! ( yep some time ago indeed)

    Ps they also come in thin!
