Why I became Interested in Mind MappingBill Miller
This document summarizes the speaker's personal journey to becoming a mind map user. It discusses how the speaker pursued degrees in math and category theory which led to an interest in abstraction. It then outlines the speaker's exploration of semantic network data models, metadata tools, and frameworks like IDEF and the Zachman Framework. The presentation concludes by encouraging the audience to get more visual in their thinking by using mind maps.
Concept maps are diagrams that show relationships between concepts through labeled connections. They were developed by Joseph Novak in the 1970s to represent science knowledge. Concept maps are based on constructivist learning theory and show how new concepts relate to prior knowledge. They organize information visually with core concepts in circles/boxes and relationships shown through labeled lines. Concept maps have various uses including assessing understanding, collaboration, and research analysis. They must include core concepts and labeled relationships to be considered true concept maps.
El documento describe el aprendizaje significativo según Joseph Novak. Novak desarrolló los mapas conceptuales basados en la teoría de Ausubel para lograr un aprendizaje significativo que permita a los estudiantes enfrentar su futuro de manera creativa. Los mapas conceptuales representan gráficamente las relaciones jerarquizadas entre conceptos y son una herramienta para ayudar a la comprensión y relacionar nuevos conocimientos con los previos del estudiante.

This article discusses seven techniques for taking more interesting photographs: following the rule of thirds when composing shots, varying the angle of view, using perspective to draw the eye, including focal points, using a timer to avoid camera shake, playing around to find unique shots, and learning your camera's capabilities.
This document discusses using blogs to create community in the classroom. It notes that blogs allow for reflection, help shy students express themselves, and can be used for class journals, research journals, and student-created learning paths. While blogs have a steeper learning curve than email, they create ownership for students and links to learning when the instructor sets up a central class blog with assignments, pictures, and links to resources. Clear instructions, guidelines, and rubrics are needed to prepare students to use blogs successfully.

This is an introduction to Second Life for instructors who are new to it. This is the prelude to "Teaching in Virtual Worlds" to be held afterwards at the same conference on Teaching and Learning here in Spokane, WA.
PowerPoint as an Interactive Teaching ToolGeoff Cain
PowerPoint can be an effective interactive teaching tool if used properly, but it also has some drawbacks if overused or used passively. When used interactively with activities like questions, games, and focusing exercises, it can help students engage with and process information. However, it tends to oversimplify information if it becomes the sole delivery method with too many bullet points and not enough discussion. The key is to use PowerPoint to supplement other materials and activities, not replace discussion or other learning methods.
1. The document discusses how virtual worlds like Second Life are being used for teaching and learning, providing examples of classrooms, models, simulations, and role-playing scenarios created in Second Life.
2. Some examples of educational uses in Second Life include business law classes at Bradley University, English courses at Ball State University, and medical simulations at Tacoma Community College.
3. The document advocates for using virtual worlds to increase interactivity and engaged learning through techniques like virtual field trips, interactive models, simulations, role-playing, and group work.
