Be Aware of Mental Health!

AnswerGarden

What is AnswerGarden?

It's an easy way to create questions for students to use critical thinking skills. After they submit an answer, they are able to see everyone else's answers. The most popular answers are bigger. 

What does this tool means for me as a student in the Education Program?

I can use this tool by asking questions to other students about their opinions or ideas about different topics or lessons. 

What will I do with this tool as a future teacher?

This tool will help me have my students use critical thinking skills. Along with that, I can help them understand what an opinion is or an idea. On AnswerGarden, there will be plenty of different answers and students need to understand that it's okay to think differently than others. 

PROS of 

• Easy to make
• Fast to submit answer

CONS of

• Not very colorful

How will I use this tool in my classroom to present information?

I did AnswerGarden on mental health and what makes people stresses. When students look at each others answers, they will find out that people are different. We all have different things that stress us out. 

How can my students utilize this tool?

This tool can help them use critical thinking skills. I can also post all the answers on my blog so the students can look at all the answers and really think deeper about the questions I ask.
