Future Wheel

As an early elementary teacher, I use webbing a lot with my students. The Future Wheel is right up my alley because it is a form of webbing. I consider myself to be good at brainstorming, especially when other people have input too. The input of others feeds my brain and spurs many ideas for problem solving. I wouldn't have thought of all of the challenges for combining two schools myself, but with the wheel and a team of people with different viewpoints, we could come up with almost every possible consideration. It is a quick way to organize the ideas of many. Most people are visual, so this would be a very effective tool to use in a problem solving or information gathering situation. It would also be easy to put away and add on to later after taking a day or two to let the ideas sink in a bit.
