Creating a concept map is useful not only for individuals, but also for working groups. Organizing the problem definition, adding links to identify potential relationships and resources, and focusing your problem solving efforts are three strategies you will get to practice. Concept maps are easily edited during this process.
In this session, please download CMAP Tools to your computer. Create a concept map for a topic you are interested in to share with the other workshop participants. Your map can be saved as an image and posted or you can save a map online and post the link.
