In addition, they are an opportunity to find out a bit more about the team and the kind of things we are involved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-it Plus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple one to start with! A tool that has served me well, from teaching in primary school right through to HE, is what in Blue Peter terms is probably a sticky-backed note. The humble post-it note is endlessly versatile and has the potential to provoke thought and discussion. It&#8217;s nothing more than a blank canvas, but a small, colourful, non-intimidating one and sometimes that helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are the emergency situations when post-it notes come to the rescue: the \u2018Who am I?\u2019 post-it note-on-the-head ice-breaker, or, when the WiFi fails, different coloured post-it notes can serve as a low-tech voting tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classroom activities using post-it notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-it-based learning activities\u00a0are plentiful: labelling a diagram or a map, or covering an image that students must identify with the minimum number of post-its removed;\u00a0 placing events on a timeline or ordering ideas into a sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-its can facilitate mindmapping, generating ideas both individually and in groups.\u00a0 They allow students to contribute questions and re-distribute them for answering.\u00a0 They also provide a useful means to pool ideas and work in groups to develop these. For instance, sorting them into categories or prioritising the most significant themes or theories from the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The advantages of using Post-it Plus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2017\/12\/PostitPlus.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2017\/12\/PostitPlus-225x300.png?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"Post-it Plus board\" class=\"wp-image-647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2017\/12\/PostitPlus.png?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2017\/12\/PostitPlus.png?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2017\/12\/PostitPlus.png?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with post-it notes is that they inevitably lose their stickiness, or worse, stick to all the wrong things.&nbsp; That\u2019s where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.post-it.com\/3M\/en_US\/post-it\/ideas\/plus-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Post-it Plus<\/a> app comes in: it offers a way of capturing collaborative input and ideas, enabling further discussion and development beyond the taught session.&nbsp; The app can scan and identify the individual post-it notes in a single photo, collating these on a digital board that you can then reorganise as you choose, adding additional notes as needed.&nbsp; The board can be shared with others, allowing students to continue working on a group project, or collaborate across groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2017\/12\/Flipcharts-e1512387266297.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"167\" width=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.efolio.soton.ac.uk\/blog\/digitallearning\/files\/2017\/12\/Flipcharts-300x167.png?resize=300%2C167\" alt=\"Fitness instructor flipcharts\" class=\"wp-image-652\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that it&#8217;s not only post-its that can be captured in this way; the app will also accommodate other sources, such as the flipchart paper shown here.\u00a0 Within the app, it&#8217;s possible to zoom in to view the detail, and notes from various photos can be added to a single board, so there is no need to keep it post-it sized\u00a0&#8211; big ideas work too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During December the Digital Learning Team will each be sharing a top tip or tool, in a festive series of blog posts.\u00a0We hope that our 12 days of posts will bring you a feast of ideas and examples to unwrap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1334,"featured_media":626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9],"tags":[10,24,28],"class_list":["post-639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-tips","tag-12-posts-of-christmas","tag-digital-learning","tag-education"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
