Ideate

Now it is time to ideate: to form and build the ideal features and characteristics of how using a technology could address your learner challenge. The best way to approach this is to build a list of possibilities by asking yourself, “How might I…?”

We suggest you do this by mind mapping. You might like to use our Learner Challenge Mindmap doc or another online mind mapping tool such as MindmeisterMindMupCoggle, or Canva. Other tools you might consider using to ideate are Padlet and Prezi. Refer to the Ontario Extend Toolkit for further information regarding these tools.

Here is one example of a Learner Challenge mindmap.

And here are some guidelines to consider whenever you are mindmapping:
