Think Tank

THINK TANK

The Think Tank tool is ideal for student reports and how to learn to organize these reports and essays. The website assists people who have created an essay or report before and for people just learning how to write a report in school! The tool offers use ranging from upper elementary through high school and even college students needing help writing a paper of any type! You begin by typing in the main topic of your paper and the website guides you as you brainstorm on what else you can talk about while working on your topic.

Disadvantages:

Can be hard for some students to understand and navigate when using for the first time.

Website may not be as appealing to younger students to keep them occupied.

Advantage:

Think Tank can be a great way to help students learn to write essays and reports.

When working on creating subtopics, the website will ask short, precise questions, such as “what if” or “Why not” to get the students thinking and brainstorming.
