Self-reflective bubbles!!!


We adjusted Nelson's three questions (p. 367) and used them as part of a self-reflective assignment. Using www.bubbl.us, students will respond to these questions as they relate to at least three assignments throughout the semester. The tool acts as a way to map out their brainstorming ideas in a self-reflective manner.

The example above is just that: an example. The only bubbles that would remain as they are for the actual "assignment" would be the top four yellow bubbles. The smaller bubbles are used to illustrate how a student might expand on their responses to the primary questions. The arrows suggest how one bubble might relate to another. The web-based application is pretty simple, but I think for this assignment it allows students to connect their ideas and goals in ways that a bulleted word document might not.
