How to use a Concept Map to organize and comprehend information Used as a learning and teaching technique, concept mapping visually illustrates the relationships between concepts and ideas. Often represented in circles or boxes, concepts are linked by words and phrases that explain the connection between the ideas, helping students organize and structure their thoughts to further understand information and discover new relationships.

AJET 28(5) Hwang, Tsai, Chu, Kinshuk and Chen (2012) - A context-aware ubiquitous learning approach to conducting scientific inquiry activities in a science park A context-aware ubiquitous learning approach to conducting scientific inquiry activities in a science park Gwo-Jen Hwang, Chin-Chung TsaiNational Taiwan University of Science and TechnologyHui-Chun ChuSoochow UniversityKinshukAthabasca UniversityChieh-Yuan ChenNational University of Tainan Fostering students' scientific inquiry competence has been recognised as being an important and challenging objective of science education. To strengthen the understanding of science theories or notations, researchers have suggested conducting some learning activities in the field via operating relevant devices. In a traditional in-field scientific inquiry activity, the teacher usually lets the students operate the devices on their own after demonstrating the operational procedure. With such an approach, the students are likely to suspend the practice when they encounter problems; moreover, it is difficult for the students to connect what they have learned from the textbooks with the field practice.

View Architects, Designers and Consultants on Twitter in a larger map UPDATE: the map above is now a master map; read the latest post for details. All the users on the map have uploaded their own placemark. Those of you who have been around a while might know I’ve been trying to locate the architects twitter league on a map for some time. Fortunately Twitter has a great way of turning up new ideas and solutions to problems, and in this case the catalyst was Mark Schumann (@MarkSchuey on twitter) who is a director for Davis Langdon in Dubai. Mark has been wandering round my blog dredging up useful things and brought to my attention the fact that the second mapping exercise was no longer working. Today you can make a google map (in My Places) such that anyone can edit it, which is what we have done here. We hope you like the map. How to add yourself to the map
