Concept MappingConcept Mapping, Mind Mapping, Idea Mapping, Graphic Organization - they all pertain to visually organizing information. Teachers have long known that exercises like these are fabulous for visual learners. Digital options for graphic organization provide added value to students as opposed to completing the same activity on a sheet of paper. Flowcharts can be media rich, with links to images, videos, audio or hyper-linked text on the internet. Elements of the chart can be moved around on the page with connections intact and edited at any time. Projects can be worked on collaboratively in real-time and shared in multiple ways using the Internet.
