WHAT CAN YOU USE KIALO FOR?


HOST CLASSROOM DEBATES

Create discussions for your students, where they can put their knowledge into
practice, develop their own views on classroom content, and consolidate what
they’ve learned. In a Kialo discussion, every student has a voice – there’s no
talking over each other, and students have the space to explore arguments at
their own pace. Kialo’s collaborative platform encourages students to work
together to find the best way to express each idea.

 * See Demo Classroom Debate




ASSESS LEARNING

Assign students to write a Kialo discussion instead of an essay – or use Kialo
discussions to outline larger writing projects. Kialo’s argument-tree structure
leads students to consider counter-arguments, develop a logical outline of their
argument, and visualize how their ideas fit together.

SHARE KNOWLEDGE

Write a discussion for your students to explore, and set out content in a clear
and easy format. Link to additional sources and reading, challenge students to
add arguments or question concepts.

HOW DOES KIALO WORK?


EXPLORE COMPLEX ISSUES

With Kialo, discussions and debates are clearly visualized as an interactive
tree of pro and con arguments. At the top of every discussion is the thesis,
which is supported or challenged by pro and con claims. Each one of these claims
can in turn branch into subsequent claims that support or challenge them.




START A DISCUSSION

All discussions are private and can only be seen by those you choose to share
them with. To start a discussion with your students, simply write a brief
description and a thesis (or theses). Share the discussion with your whole
class, or divide students into smaller groups.




COLLABORATE WITH YOUR STUDENTS

Each claim has a comment section underneath that allows you to give students
feedback, suggest improvements, and ask questions without cluttering the surface
of the discussion. Similarly, students can easily collaborate with each other to
improve their arguments, examples, and phrasing.




CREATE TEAMS FOR YOUR CLASSES

You can set up teams for each of your classes to easily share and organize the
content you want your students to see. All content on Kialo-Edu.com is private,
accessible only to the people you share it with.
