Our private beta is live! And educators from across the country and the globe have the opportunity to help us fine tune our tool to be a catalyst for deeper learning and a pathway to preparing learners with the skills they need for success in school and beyond.
We worked hard over the summer to put the finishing touches on the beta of our knowledge mapping environment that is designed for educators and students to use with online content. Now that the tool is ready for individual use, we’ve invited a group of educators and industry professionals to explore our knowledge mapping environment and try it out in their classrooms or for their own personal use.
Beta users are able to identify and connect concepts from our library of digital content, including select YouTube videos and Wikipedia articles, and create knowledge maps. Knowledge mapping is a proven instructional method that fosters meaningful learning (more research on this to come!). Through Ideaphora, educators can maximize the growing wealth of digital content that’s available to students at school and outside the classroom walls to build lasting knowledge and develop critical thinking skills.
One of our core values is partnering with educators and learners to better understand their needs, challenges and successes to continuously improve our technologies. This feedback is critical for Ideaphora to deliver high-quality, effective tools in the quest to help grow young minds. If you are interested in participating in the private beta or piloting Ideaphora with students, please sign up here.
