Tech Tools for Educators

http://www.edutopia.org/groups/technology-integration-high-school/13322 In our information-based society, the ability to manage and process large amounts of information is extremely important. One tool/technique that’s superb at doing this is called visual mapping (aka mind mapping).

It’s a matter of taking information that you have and with which you are presented and then organizing it in a more useful and meaningful way. By using visual maps, you can better and more quickly capture, consolidate, organize, and analyze information and knowledge, and enhance your ability to understand subjects, solve problems, and learn. Think of a visual map as a tree, where the various outlying branches — the subconcepts — all connect back to the trunk or central concept.
