Coggle.it as a Co-constructive tool

We learned about Google Docs and Coggle.it as a co-constructive tool in today's session. We looked at the definition, importance, and some of the processes for using coggle.it under this heading. After sir explanation, I have understood that Coggle.it is an internet platform for making and sharing mind maps and flowcharts. It's also a collaborative🙌 mind-mapping tool for making sense of complicated situations.

Coggle.it is a highly efficient and effective teaching and learning tool. It is a structured note that assists learners in organizing their notes by allowing them to take it with them wherever they go. It also allows students to collaborate on a single map at the same time, share their thoughts and information through interaction, and improve communication of ideas.

After that, sir randomly divided us into five groups and given us lesson planning tasks. I learned a lot about Google Docs and Coggle as a result of that. Through productive conversation, we learned how to construct lesson plans using coogle and Google docs. We also had active discussions throughout the activity, starting with class selection, subject selection, topic selection, and lesson planning. I learned from this session that employing co-constructive techniques with my students and co-workers can help me build an excellent lesson.

1. Structured notes

It helps to arrange the notes by taking it wherever we go. This makes it easier to chalk out a concept anytime we have an idea.

2. Information sharing

It helps to share their work with workmates and other people. The mind maps can also be exported into PDF files, image files, as well as in the form of text. This make the communication of ideas better.

Coggle.it lets people work on a single map at the same time. The features is useful for quickly completing diagrams. Moreover, collaborations can also help one another in developing ideas.

4. Change 

The changes made can get saved immediately on a coggle.it.

5. Interactive Mind Maps

Besides shapes and text, we can also add images to coggle's mind maps. In this way we can make a more engaging and fascinating diagram.

The session was beneficial because we learned how to use ICT into our regular teaching to make learning more enjoyable and engaging. Using Google Docs and coggle.it is another approach to incorporate ICT in teaching and learning. It helps us to collaborate in real time, track changes, save automatically, work from anywhere, and keep organized. When I begin my teaching career, the experience and abilities gained will be valuable in schools, assisting me in dealing with ICT native pupils.
