Teaching Concepts:
As a teacher, the use of a concept mapping tools is excellent for students really learning and remembering what being taught. Like chapter 7 mentions, information is conceptual, procedural, or conditional, and using concept mapping really instills all of those things in a student’s memory. Concept mapping creates a pattern, and once a student learn that pattern it’s easy for them to understand and gain knowledge. The technology I would use the help student with concept mapping the Inspiration software. This software allows the student to all procedures involved in concept mapping.
Encouraging students:
Outlines are great for having an idea and thinking about specific topics, and I surely encourage students use. Having an outline is like have a springboards in the floor for gymnastic. Both help the user have a greater outcome. Outlines are springboards for idea maps and storyboards. I encourage students to have all three, but put more emphasis on having the outline since it acts as a springboard. When a student puts and outline together, it doesn’t have to be a complicated outline. It’s merely meant to get the student thinking about an assignment or project so the student will have some direction.
New Skills:
A new skill that has been taught to me is the use of Inspiration. This software is perfect for students learning and retaining information. By learning to use this software, it will help tremendously when it comes to teaching students and helping students learn. As mentioned above, having an outline is a springboard for coming up with an idea map and storyboard, and Inspiration is ideal software for just that. Having learned to use this software will make my educational career ten times easier.
