1st Resource bank activity: Search, evaluate, select, annotate, tag and share resource links

The purpose of this activity is to find and select online resources on how to create a mind map and to record and share these links using the OERu resource bank. This activity is designed to give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with our bookmarks.oeru.org site. Note the format of the resource bank activity; in particular, scroll down to the footnote area at the bottom of this activity to see the required and recommended tags.
