Blog Reflection #3

After using visual thinking software, describe the 21st century skills you think were most valuable to you in the learning process?

I think the most valuble to me in the learning process is concept mapping thinking. These typee of programs take a visual learning approach to critical thinking.Research on thinking and memory suggests that visual learning techniques, or associating verbal information with images, enhance understanding, build connection and expand our brain's capacity to learn.
When students use visual thinking software they are creating visuals of their own ideas in the form of webs, concept maps, idea maps and other kinds of graphic organizers. Concept mapping is a technique for visualizing the reationships among ifferent concepts and a concept map is the diagram showing the relationships aming the concepts.
