Dotstorming

A Collaborative Brainstorming Work Space

What is Dotstorming? It's a site where you can create a private room to hold a brainstorming session with students. You can add images to a thought, too. You can set up a room to allow students to vote on ideas. Students can also add comments to ideas and hold discussions in a chat window.

This site works on ALL devices, but the chat window does not work on phone browsers.

Test out a Dotstorming board here!

Once at the Dotstorming board, you must add your name in FIRST before you can add a card, vote, chat or leave a comment on an existing post. To leave a comment on an existing post, click on the small dialogue box at the lower right of a post. It will open in a window and below the image you can leave a comment.

TO EARN THIS BADGE

1. You will need to go to Dotstorming.com and create an account. Your students will not need an account, but they will enter their name when they enter your "room" before they can participate.

2. Create your topic board and give your students a link to the board to participate. I HIGHLY suggest you shorten the URL or use the site Shoutkey to create a temporary URL that is easier to type.

3. Complete the Badge form here or click the Request A Badge link in the menu.

4. Submit a link to your completed dotstorming room where your students participated.
