I chose to use concept mapping to chart a family tree. This could be adapted for nearly every grade level as a way to help students learn about their community/family. Concept mapping lends itself fabulously to this activity, presenting the geneologies in a clear, organized fashion. This activity facilitates many of the outcomes for ICT, but some the general outcomes from division two this activity could encompass are:
C.1 - Students will access, use and communicate information from a variety of technologies.
C.4 - Students will use organizational processes and tools to manage inquiry.
C.7 - Students will use electronic research techniques to construct personal knowledge and meaning.
F.1 - Students will demonstrate an understanding of the nature of technology.
Specific Outcomes
F.6 - Students will demonstrate a basic understanding of the operating skills required in a variety of technologies.
It would be important to teach students about concept maps prior to giving them this assignment. The teacher could model concept mapping skills in front of the whole class before having students create thier own. The teacher should allow many different styles of mapping to encourage creativity and individual preference.
