Being that all students learn and grasp concepts differently, having multiple ways of teaching material is a must. As future teachers we must understand that all students’ cognitive learning is different and we have to adapt to their need. Every student has the capability to understand and it is our job to discover the best way for the student to gain understanding.
One particular approach is Concept Mapping. Concept maps break down topics down to the smallest unit. The map shows the different relationships between concepts. I have always found concepts maps fun and enjoyable due to just how creative a student can get in producing a map. Concept maps also enhance communication, collaboration, and creativity. Concept maps just might be what finally breaks the barrier of understanding for a student.
Inspiration is software that can be downloaded to the computer form the www.inspiration.com website. Inspiration is real easy to use and free which is idea as a future teacher. This software is student and teachers friendly and used to create different diagrams for learning.
NETS and Common Core require this for technology learning. They both have expressed their seal of approval for the software. They push the importance of taking advantage of the free technology software available.
