Here's a question I would like to know (based on this thread) - do any of
you out there use computerized concept mapping? At a conference two years
ago, I saw a presentation by a few intro biology college profs who were
using  a flow charting program (sorry - can't find my notes and don't
remember the name) to do the mapping - the easy nature of altering and
adding really increased the students deveolpment (so they said). It was a
MAc software (we use pc, so i didn't explore it much farther at the time).

I started using Graphic Organizers (pictoral and text, four color one
page concept maps) this year, and have been very pleased with them. The
student make them before a unit test, and turn them in - depending on
their development, i add bonus to their grade for them. It then goes into
their learning log (journal) which they then evaluate and grade at the
end of each quarter. (idea taken from Jim Woody, NC biology teacher)
