Plan your lessons using mind mapping softwares that help you get a visual representation of your future teaching objectives, lesson stages and learning outcomes.
Planning with MindMeister
Whether you are at the start of your career in education or an experienced teacher, a great lesson plan will always make the difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary lesson. Scribbling down ideas in your daily planner or even worse, on random scraps of paper may give you a rough idea about what you want your lesson to look like, but it does not always make for a proper lesson plan.
So what if, instead, you could turn your messy notes into a creative mind map that helps you brainstorm and organize your teaching ideas into a coherent and inspiring plan?
Adina Ilioara Chereches, English teacher at William Shakespeare High School from Timisoara, proposes a lesson plan for an English vocabulary lesson on the topic of "Adjectives Describing People's Appearance and Personality" using MindMeister.
Use technology to your advantage even before stepping in the classroom and fuel your students' creativity through your own creative approaches to lesson planning and organizing teaching ideas.
