Concept mapping, web/mind maps. In groups of 4-5 students assign various aspects of the course; students use markers and post-its to write a concept on post-it, place on board. They can move the post-its around. They can add arms/legs with additional information. They can use directional arrows. During yesterday's class, a student said that she realized the impact the concept map had on her learning. She thought that it was busy work. The students were busily writing down information from the maps. I'll be able to measure the effect of concept mapping from the unit test (possibly). Inspiration offers a 30 day free trial on concept mapping using different templates. teach1
