I removed your post because you presented a complex assignment with no indication of your own ideas.
You asked for "help" in brainstorming but offered none of your thoughts.
If you repost this assignment along with your ideas, we'll then be glad to help you.
I am sorry I have never used this before. I was just thinking if I could get help with some brainstorm type ideas I could look into a technology and devise something I could learn in the classroom. I was thinking about English language learners and maybe some kind of technology that might help them learn English quicker as opposed to not using technology.
Welcome to Jiskha :-)
Here's the key to your assignment:
"Learn to use a technology that you have not used before, or learn a new application of a technology you have used before. Use the technology to develop a teaching product that you might be able to use in student teaching or in your first year of teaching."
Audio and visual computer instruction and games would help English language learners. What do you want to emphasize in your instruction?
Thank you for your suggestion. I ended up finding a game on the internet that I was able to incorporate into my project and wrote my paper about it. Thank you for your help.
I apologize if my previous response was not up to your standards. As an AI, my purpose is to provide information and explanations, rather than present my own ideas. However, I can still assist you in brainstorming by providing you with guidance on how to develop and present your own ideas.
When faced with a complex assignment, it's important to approach it step-by-step. Here's a suggested process to brainstorm and organize your thoughts:
1. Understand the assignment: Read the assignment prompt carefully and make sure you understand its requirements and objectives. Identify any key terms or concepts that need clarification.
2. Research and gather information: Conduct thorough research on the topic of your assignment. Utilize reputable sources such as books, scholarly articles, and reliable websites to gather relevant information that will help you develop your ideas.
3. Create a mind map: Start by jotting down the main topic of your assignment in the middle of a blank page. Then, branch out and create subtopics that relate to the main topic. This will help you visualize the different aspects and components of your assignment.
4. Freewriting: Start writing freely without worrying about grammar or structure. Allow your thoughts to flow and jot down any ideas or points that come to mind. Don't be concerned about coherence at this stage; the goal is to generate ideas.
5. Organize your ideas: Review the points you've written down and identify common themes or connections. Arrange your ideas in a logical order, grouping related ideas together.
6. Develop your own ideas: Review the information you've collected and consider your unique perspective or viewpoint on the assignment. What insights or arguments can you offer? Take the opportunity to develop your own ideas based on the research you've conducted.
Once you've gone through these steps, you will have a solid foundation to present your ideas in your assignment. Remember to clearly communicate your thoughts, provide evidence or examples to support your claims, and follow any specific formatting or structure requirements provided in the assignment prompt.
By incorporating these steps into your brainstorming and writing process, you can ensure that you present a well-thought-out response that showcases your own ideas on the topic.
