My reflection on C&D thinking and mind mapping

Hey there, today I´m going to be talking about my opinion on Convergent vs. Divergent questions on the internet, as well as Mind Mapping on Mindomo.

OK, let´s begin with Convergent vs. Divergent questions, but first, some bullet points on what these actually are:

Convergent

• require little effort
• lead to a simple answer 
• often begin with "what?", "when?" and "who?"
• offer only basic information

Divergent

• produce brain training
• might lead to even more questions
• often begin with "how could?", "suppose?" and "what might?"
• offer much more information than convergent questions

Now yes, let´s talk about my opinion on these two, and I´m sorry by offering such an unoriginal answer, but I think divergent questions are much better than convergent ones, unless what you need for your work is an convergent answer, but normally divergent questions make you understand better the topic, since you have to understand the logic of the text to understand well the content, and I say this by my own experience.

Here´s an example of Convergent vs. Divergent:

Now my reflection on mind mapping on Mindomo. And before let me explain quickly what Mindomo is, and it´s really simple, cause Mindomo is a Website/Program/App to use for virtual mind mapping, something like this:

            

To be honest, until now I´ve always preferred drawing mind maps on paper, and that considering that I love technology, but, according to the review I saw of this website, now I would have something to recommend other people, aldo I won´t change my method yet, I still prefer paper in this case. But, yes, Mindomo is the best second choice, since it is so simple to use, as you can see in the video.

But well, that´s it for today, see you all later!    

A little bit about us -Team 3

Hi! We are Caro and Oli and we are part of the "18 lucky ducks". We are going to introduce ourselves.

A little bit about Caro:

Caro was born on March 31, 2002 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she lives with her family. In her free time, Caro practices volleyball in River, a stadium where football matches take place at. She also loves listening to music, spending time with her friends. Something special about Caro is that she hears all what you have to say, if you have a problem, or if you want to tell her something, she listens the whole entire story, even though the story could have been how you walked three blocks to get bread at the bakery. She also loves getting to know people, where are they are and how their culture is.

A little bit about Oli:

Olivia is fourteen years old and on the 24th of March she is turning fifteen. Oli has long, curly dark blonde hair and big green eyes. She is very charismatic, nice and funny. She loves to eat as much as Caro does and likes to go out to the shopping center with her friends. She is a good dancer and also loves to sing and act, which she does every weekend in Julio Bocca. There she has a lot of good friends. Oli also loves to take pictures and her grandfather, who is a photographer, has published books full of pictures. She would like to study gastronomy and be a famous chef. The thing that Oli has, that other people don´t, is that she is very optimistic and never lets mean people drag her down.

About us-Francesca and Alexa

A little bit about us- Francesca and Alexa

Hi guys! How are you doing? Welcome to our Blog! We are part from the 18LuckyDucks, and thank you for entering to this page.

So that you get us to know a little bit more, we decided to tell you something about us.

We are called Francesca and Alexa, but you can call us Fran and Ale. Which is way shorter than our real names. We are two high school students, that are at this moment at the Informatic Lesson. Where we learn about different ways of creating things on the computer. For example, we learnt how to invent a video game using a computer program, or how to run a blog. But this is the first time that our Blog is public, which means that everybody can see what we write.

In our free time we enjoy doing a sport, listening to music, travelling around the world,  or just having fun with friends. We both enjoy at school learning new things. Maybe a new language, something about history, or investigating in nature. Which, we think, is always very intersting and incredible.

(This is me, Alexa, at one of my beautiful

trips I did with my family)  

   We hope that this was one way of getting us to know a little bit more.  

See you in our next post!

Fran and Ale

About us - Migue and Alois

Hello, we are Alois and Miguel from 18 lucky ducks, and we like to introduce ourselves. We are friends since we were 5 years old. Alois really loves Athletics and tennis, I like tennis too, but my favorite sport is taekwondo. Fortunately we live near by, so we can hang out almost always. We use to go also together in bicycle to school.

Migue

Since I was a kid, I had a strong connection with martial arts. I really like to investigate about martial arts, specially ninjutsu (ninja´s martial arts), but the martial art I like the most is taekwondo, I train taekwondo since i was 7 years old, and i love it, after all lessons i feel really calmed, it's a unique feeling. This year i will participate of the "National Taekwondo tournament" and I will achieve black belt.  Another hobby i really like is cooking, but unusual cooking, like a KitKat pizza which i saw a video in youtube about.

Alois

I'm 15 years old and i like to train Athletics and tennis. I train Athletics 4 times a week and only once tenis. The test that I like the most is high jump. I’ve jumped 1,73m.

I'm interested in how technology can solve many problems not only daily life problems, but also for example how people in remote places can have access to the internet, or how people is treated in hospitals.

One of my Hobbies is taking photos. I like more darker than lighter photos, I think, they are more interesting.

Introduction

Hi! We are Ivana and Giuliana. Our hobbie is to cook and since 2010 we take cooking classes specialized in pastry. We realized that nowadays the tutorials are becoming very famous on the social media, so we asked ourselves, why dont we start doing a tutorial about what we most like doing? That is why, one day we decided to post our first video! We like doing tutorials on youtube to show people what we do and help the beginners at cooking.  
But now we will tell you more detalied who we are :)

I am Giuliana and my age is 15. Despite of cooking I also like sports and I go to singing classes. Each year in december, our teacher organizes a little concert in a theater where I have the chance to sing in public and I like it a lot. If I could choose a place to live, I would choose somewhere at the caribean because I love the beach and I like to go there with my family and friends.

                                                                This is a pic of me.

My name is Ivana Bianca Saggion and I'm 15 years old. I like to cook but that is not the only hobbie I have. I also like to paint/draw, to sing, to play the ukelele or the guitar, to do sports & like everyone, I like to travel. 
I wanted to add a photo of me so that you know who I am but I did not have any in which I appeared alone, so that´s why here is a photo of my family.

I´m the girl with violet blouse.

About me: Franco Barrera

Hey there, I am one of the 18 lucky ducks, and if you where wondering who I am or what I like doing, you´re in the right place.


Job? Don´t have, I´m only 15 years old

Favourite Sport? Tennis (not watching, but yes playing)

What do I do? Most of my favourite hobbies have something to do with sitting down and enjoying a good film in Netflix, or in my case, watching videos in Youtube. I'm addict to the latter. What I watch there is mostly, more or less 99% of the time, videos about Technology, I am also addict to that, specially when there about Cellphones. As mencioned before, I also enjoy allot playing Tennis, and I am starting to enjoy athletics too.

Why do I do this? Well, basically because it's what I enjoy doing, but also because, when I grow up, I would like to be either an Arquitect or an Actor (this if I'm lucky), or a Journalist (tech journalist), or work at Apple or work at Google (also if I'm lucky).
