Have you ever heard of Exploratetree.org.uk?
Actually, Exploratree is a free web resource where you can download, use and make your own interactive thinking guides. Thinking guides can support independent and group research projects with frameworks for thinking, planning and enquiry. They’ve provided a set of ready-made guides which you can print out or use online. All of the guides are completely customizable or you can start from scratch and make your own. You can share them and work on them in groups too.

If you’re not familiar with Exploratetree, let me list down some of the best thing that you can do with Exploratree. Here it is:

* Use their ready-made thinking guides
* Make a new thinking guide from scratch
* Use it to set class projects
* Print them out (they can go as big as A0)
* Change and customise thinking guides, you can add or change text, shapes, images etc.
* As a teacher, you can set up the sequence that you want the thinking guide to be revealed, so that you can stage the thinking activity
* You can fill in a thinking guide and complete your project on the website
* You can present your project
* You can send your thinking guide to a whole group of people
* You can submit a thinking guide for comments, so it can’t be edited but just reviewed
* Work in groups on the same thinking guide

So how about that?
