Question: How can concept-mapping tools be used to address different learning styles?
Answer: Concept-mapping tools have been proven to work wonders for different learning styles in reading, writing, math, social studies, science, etc... But to use concept-mapping tools in combination with technology is a whole different level. Websites like "Inspiration and Kidspiration (www.inspiration.com/home.cfm) and The Graphic Organizer (http://www.graphis.org/) are visual ways to think, write, and comprehend. Inspiration provides integrated diagramming and outlining environments that work together to help students comprehend concepts and information" (p. 49). These sites are outstanding and allow the students to create their own concept maps/diagrams so they can better understand the material presented for comprehension. I can only imagine the possibilities and successes that we could have achieved if these programs and sites were around when we were in school.
