Mind Tools in HSIE

Mind Tools in HSIE

 I have recently published blogs in relation to the theory of a ‘Constructivist’ teaching approach. As a result I thought it would be beneficial to demonstrate the application of such teaching practices through a specific example in my KLA that I taught. Say hello to a mindtool known as ‘Concept Maps’. In the area of Business Studies, Commerce or Economics I have seen some success in the application of mind tools in particular concept maps. The ability to link concepts, demonstrate interdependence and relationships is possible through concept mapping. Student’s can utilise this visual interactive tool for independent learning and peer collaboration. 

 An example of an interactive mind tool can be found here.
