PAA Computers

(View Complete Item Description)

Students work in pairs to create venn diagrams that will show the differences and similarities between an online and an offline community. The class brainstormed examples together, creating a large list on the board. Examples include: twitter, vine, Instagram, the school volleyball team, places people work, a youth group center. Once pairs have selected their communities, they used Creatly.com to create a venn diagram that showed their ideas about how each community is unique yet has some things in common. When students completed their venn diagram, they posted it on a Small Group in Edmodo to share it with the class. Students then individually commented on each of the other pairs diagrams, telling them one thing they liked about the diagram and one thing that they think might have been done better.
