GroupMap has considerable value for education. Jeremy has been very helpful in demonstrating the app and supporting my colleagues and myself in using it in our teaching in the Faculty of Education. He has been interested in and responsive to our feedback, and consequently the app is continuing to improve. This is going to be a really important tool for all educators!
” I had the opportunity to use {GroupMap} for a large group facilitation and it worked like a dream. People took to it very quickly and the results were instant.”
GroupMap looks great. Group student work can be tracked and also used at our strategic planning process…
All up I think groupmap is a fantastic concept! I really enjoyed being a scribe and learning more about it.
One thing I did notice that the technology meant that ideas were captured at a much faster rate than the old pen and paper method which meant session times could be reduced. I think this is only a good thing and shows again how new technology makes us even more efficient.
Your workshop today went down as the best PD I have organized. Everyone was still talking about how they could engage an hour later (well after usual home time) – very exciting for me as a manager.
Great for sharing ideas, even on the interactive whiteboard
Good way of using cooperative learning strategies
Great for assessing teamwork
shared reflection and flipped classroom activities
I have been doing some work on the evaluation of the scenario planning day and note that about three-quarters of the participants said they would consider using GroupMap in their own organisations in future, and that most rated the experience of using GroupMap positively.
I was also very impressed by the adaption and development of the system for scenario planning on a large scale in a such short period of time. What was effectively an experimental system worked very well indeed on the day and clearly is an application that will be useful in scenario planning in the future.
Your system achieved a “flipped classroom’ situation. I think that those participating understood and were quite impressed with its capabilities. Thank you for providing an enlightening experience of the paradigm shifting potential that ICT has for teaching and learning, as well as the Deans in thing about the issues of the session.
“Could see lots of usage areas in this…. Would be great for problem based learning.”
The session was excellent – interactive was just what was needed at this time of day too!
Keen to use the GroupMap for both workshops and in lectures. Hoping to organize a session on GroupMap for our weekly teaching and learning ThinkTank.
I really enjoyed your presentation; it’s a very useful tool and to actually have a go was invaluable.
