Make thinking visible! 🧠✨
I built a hexagonal thinking activity template in @bookwidgets.bsky.social —students explore, connect, & show their ideas in color.

Try it here: www.bookwidgets.com/play/t:Kxdlf...

#EduSky #edtech

"Hexagonal thinking map showing cause and effect. A blue hexagon labeled 'Causes' connects to a green hexagon labeled 'Positive Effects,' a yellow hexagon labeled 'Neutral Effects,' and a red hexagon labeled 'Negative Effects,' with more green and yellow hexagons branching outward."

"Hexagonal thinking map titled 'Odysseus' Leadership Skills during the journey home.' Central hexagon is surrounded by larger hexagons for 'Controlling / Delegating the group,' 'Communication & Persuasion,' 'Knowing the Group’s Resources,' 'Representing the Group,' and 'Setting the example.' Smaller hexagons give examples, such as 'Lotus Eaters: sends small team,' 'Scylla: convinced men to sail past,' and 'Doesn’t explain the Bag of winds.'"

Adjust line spacing in your text by switching to 'rich text'. This helps younger students and those with dyslexia follow the text more easily and stay focused. #EduSky
