Concept Map Uses
- Prewriting
- Organizing information
- Building knowledge
- Summarizing information
Concept maps have traditionally been used in the classroom for a variety of purposes. They are often used as a brainstorming tool during prewriting. They can be used to organize information when reading or taking notes. They can be used to build knowledge about a topic or unit as well as to summarize information at the end of a unit.
Why 2.0 Tools?
- Collaborative
- Flexible
- Multimodal
- Engaging
Web 2.0 tools can enable traditional concept maps to become an even more effective learning tool. Tools such as Bubbl.us and Popplet allow collaboration, so students can work together to create concept maps rather than working in isolation. They are flexible, allowing changes to both content and structure more easily than when work is done with pencil and paper. They can be multimodal, incorporating a variety of visual and audio elements that appeal to a variety of learners. They are also engaging for students because of the novelty and opportunity for creativity.
