Graphic Organizers, Mind Maps and Concept Maps are pictoral
or graphical ways to organize information and thoughts for understanding,
remembering, or writing about. Graphic organizers, mind maps and concept maps
are powerful tools that can be used to enhance learning and create a foundation
for learning. This site provides
examples of organizers and ways to use them to enhance teaching and
learning. This is the most complete site
on graphic organizers I’ve seen.
Mind maps
are tools which help you think and learn. This module describes how to do a
mind map and most of the sections are organised into areas of university study
where students have found mind maps useful. Often you will find a mind map in a
section and you will be able to click on various parts of it to discover just
how the mind map will help you. Other sections in the module contain actual
samples of student mind maps.
Envision Project Based Instruction Lesson Plans
On this
site, educators have posted lessons that engage students in project based
instruction. Although indicated as high
school level, most are also appropriate for middle school. One neat one teaches scientific inquiry
through an analysis of myths, ala “Mythbusters”.
