"Cmap tool"...

Hey

After using the cmapping tool for a while I found it quite interesting. You can use it to illustrate the relationships between the concepts (something you don’t really see in mind mapping  as this gives you a better picture and strengthens your understanding of the concept or main idea.

Then the media effects is also good. Adding anything from a video to a power point presentation to your “cmap” is brilliant. Other functions include customizing your “cmap” like changing colours and backgrounds. I can see how this can be a useful tool for teachers, lectures and students and it could change how we teach and learn.

Personally, at this point, I do not think I would prefer the cmapping tool. Perhaps this is because I am still unfamiliar on how to use it properly in my field (accounting) as well as in chess. This opinion may change as time progresses and I become more comfortable with the tool. There is still much to learn.
