Quick look: Organise Ideas (follow-up)

November 12, 2021

This is a follow-up to my earlier “quick look” at this book.

A veritable cornucopia of graphic organisers, aka word diagrams, that can be used in education. It contains contributions from over fifty teachers, and much detail on why, what, how, who and when. Different, succinct, it will suit those teachers looking for more visually appealing ways of organising and presenting data to students.

This kind of book suits me. In my first year of teaching Economics I discovered a book that covered the whole Economics curriculum in charts. In my second year, I found a cartoon illustrated textbook I liked a lot. And, just as with many of my blog posts these days, my own handouts and lesson summaries were festooned with drawings, diagrams and arrows.

I’ve submitted a longer review to Teach Secondary magazine, and I will be republishing that here.


If you found this article interesting or useful (or both), why not subscribe to my free newsletter, Digital Education? It’s been going since the year 2000, and has slow news, informed views and honest reviews for Computing and ed tech teachers — and useful experience-based tips.
