Mapping Management: An Online Tool for Collaborative Theory Mapping

Research suggests that learning comes with doing. This session presents a free online methodology that allows students to organize class management concepts and personal reflections into a theory map. Using Google Drawings and a recently developed method for theory mapping, students are able to create maps on their own or collaboratively with others. These maps help students to make sense of how different concepts relate to one another, how their own personal experiences fit these concepts, and to identify conceptual gaps in knowledge. The session will provide an introduction to creating maps and different ideas for individual and group activities.
