Concept Map

This link will take you to a program called Mindmeister. This program is excellent for developing a variety of concept and mind maps.

     I really liked using Mindmeister. It is a very creative, intuitive program for a very unique form of education. I made a very simple concept map for my course assignment over some of the major countries of Europe. This concept map example is just to help student learn some very broad information about the European continent. Concept maps can give students an excellent visual representation of the connection of information as it correlates to each other. Programs like Mindmeister can add links, images, videos, audio, and text to reinforce the presentation of information to assist the learning process. Concept maps can be a very persuasive format to teaching to make a topic more intriguing and fascinating for students. If teachers can present their class material in a way students find interesting and intriguing, there is a higher chance of gaining students' respect. If student can see that a teacher is passionate about their subject and are passionate about passing it on to others, students are much more likely to find interest in the topic.
