Where to begin in the wonderful world of mind mapping/graphic organizers...First I personally had never even seen a concept map or graphic organizer until I came to Southern. This was after both high school and two years of junior college. Therefore when I got an assignment to complete one, I freaked slam out! I now can create one for a grade, but it does not help me at all to have one personally, mainly because I was never taught how to create them or what they are used for. This chapter helped me answer some of the questions that I never knew. I love a good play on words so the quote from the chapter that I would like to use is "With a little "Inspiration" and time in the computer lab, Marisol Acuna's world history class mapped out important concepts as they reviewed information on WWI." I would like to practice these skills in my own classroom so that my students can have something that I never got the chance to experience, hands on participation. I like that we had the option to be creative in this blog posting this week, even though I opted out; mainly because graphic organizers are not really my thing (personally).
Quick question: Where can I go (online) to get the experiecne I need with graphic orgainizers to be able to learn the concpet well enough to be able to teach it?
