Engaging Students with Concept Mapping Techniques

Concept mapping can impact student learning by allowing students to see how different things are connected within the cirriculum. That way they understand the importance of learning one thing before moving onto another. It also engages the students who are visual learners, as it enables them to see how things are connected with pictures. This will help make the connections for them, as they will have something to visualize when trying to remember a concept.

Concept mapping seems as though it would be a pretty simple task to understand. Therefore, I feel that I could make use of it in my classroom. There are many units within the health field that would work for concept mapping, and would definitely be worth the time.
