Back in college, I learned the ‘mind map‘ technique for brainstorming. I think the context then was to gather all the interests of the children and map out different avenues of thought.
I used SimpleMind Lite to create the following map of ideas for the Preschool Outdoor Classroom.
This is just a small sampling too! There are so many things to cover. An outdoor classroom teacher has to wear many hats.
Maybe some of my ideas will help you. Do you have any ideas to share? Post them in the comments below.
