Structuring Resources through mindmapping for #digitalstudies

Since beginning this project on #digitalstudies someone who has really stepped up has been @teachesict who has been working far harder than me on some awesome mindmapping for the new subject.

I’ve copied the link in which I hope you will be able to at least view.  https://www.mindmeister.com/127915705

Nic has structured the topics according to the four strands of #digitalstudies and has then included top level topics which have some sub level topics.  EG:

  • Digital Citizenship (strand)
    • Impact of online communications (top level topic)
      • Blogging (sub level topic)
      • Chatrooms (sub level topic)
      • E-Safety (sub level topic)
    • Creative commons (top level topic)
I hope the above makes sense!

I am thinking as to how the resources and links could be gathered for each sub level topic.  By applying a structure for each topic of:

  • News articles
  • Videos
  • Apps
  • Websites
This may help structure what is a giant task.  It would also provide a benefit of being able to suck up lets say all videos and news articles across the whole mindmap to create master lists.  It would also help in mapping these topics to different levels of school eg KS1 and up.

Lets see how this goes …
