Concept+Maps

Concept maps are a diagram that shows relationships between similar items. It is a great way to for students to organize their thoughts. This would work great for students who don't think linear and ideas seem to be all over the place. I would use concept maps in almost every subject in my classroom. They would be a great way for students to take notes, start a paper, start a project and many other things.

Articles @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm1owf0uGFM This is a video that show different way that concept maps can be used for. They can be used to assess students and to help them organized their thoughts. I like how she pointed out that this is useful to people outside of the education word because as students get older they question whether they will ever need to lean hoe to do some activities.

@http://www.stanford.edu/dept/SUSE/SEAL/Reports_Papers/Vanides_CM.pdf This is a short article on what a concept map is. It then talks about the benefit of concept map and way to implement them in a classroom. One thing that i like about this article is that is shows different way that concept maps can be organized.
