Best tools and practices for concept mapping « NspireD2: Learning Technology in Higher Ed. via kwout

Chris Clark at the Kaneb Center at the University of Notre Dame has pulled together some of the best tools and best practices for Mind/Concept Mapping.

I have been using mind mapping tools and following the use of these resources for several years so it is interesting to see tools like Prezi be identified as specific mind or concept mapping resources. I also find it interesting that the open sources tool FreeMind was not listed in the post.

Perhaps one of the best parts of the post is Dr. Karen Rohrbauck Stout’s video Classroom Assessment Technique: Concept Maps which provides a wonderful overview on using concepts maps to informally assess student understanding of a topic in a classroom setting.
