Organizing Learning

Continuing with creativity, students learned a bit about how graphic organizers can be used to help students be creative and use their critical thinking skills. At first I had planned to use an excellent PPT which describes ever intricate detail of graphic organizers which was shared by an instructor from Niagara University with anyone who wanted to use it. http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dhc5bgdm_204hbpgc7d3&interval=30, but then I realized it was way too advanced. Several students in EDU102 are still determining if they want to be teachers and have not began to study education, so they are not yet familiar with such basics as Bloom's Taxonomy. So using the KISS principle, I created this simple version of the basics of graphic organizers and concept maps to get them started thinking about what they will create.
