Who am I? Class feedback visual

Todd Nussen

I do my own take on the Who am I? activity from the unit on Liberal and National Revolutions when I ask my students to use mentimeter.com to share some of their results so, together, we can view the diversity in the classroom. These were my results from this year. Spelling and capitalization aside, it worked to give each student the chance to share a bit of their own history. This naturally flowed into a nice class discussion. 

  • Great ideas here, Todd. I feel that word clouds are vastly under-used and they are easy to create. Here's one that I made from our professional development, teachers were asked to describe what it meant to be a good teacher in one word. Cool application.

    Love it.  I totally agree that's one of the reasons I was sharing.  They are super student friendly and they allow all students to have a voice.  They also become a focus for students to examine and question when complete.

    Very much agree - the word cloud is an underutilized resource. I like how you used this for liberal and national revolutions! It makes me wonder where else in the curriculum this could be utilized - or if it could be used at different times over the course of the year and see if answers change? 

  • Ohhh!  Great idea to add to what I already did with the Who Am I lesson.  I will weave this in second semester after students have digested more history and may have new perspectives!
