Technology and Graphic Organizers

“Where do I start”, is often the in the mind and voice of a panic stricken learner who is in complete disequilibrium as new material is presented. The cognitive learning theory with the focus on processing information within a structured approach can be successfully support by combining new technologies with support of graphic organizers and concept maps. Teachers are able to combine students past learning with clues to new learning that will advance a students synthesizing of new learning. By effectively asking the right questions we are able to help student develop critical thinking skills, and providing the experience of organizing this new information with different types of organizers that target different learning styles. When you combine web based links you are able to support concepts with both video and audio, thus further bridging the new learning to prior knowledge.
