Each group will collaborate their research with the rest of the class, presenting the above information as an electronic mind-map (www.padlet.com). The presentation of your research as an electronic mind map will allow the comparison of one agency to another, as well as the enhanced ability to perceive connections, overlapping themes or over-arching values evident across the non-government agencies.
