I think it is valuable to have in the classroom. It's good for visual learners, but some might not like it becuase they might be a hands on learner. I think I could use it for anything. It seems like a good way to organize any type of information. I know i would have found this useful when I was in grade school.

I think visual learning is great, and its a really important part of the classroom, however its not the only way to learn. A classroom of students learn best when they are offered all three ways of learning. Its important to provide options if visual learning is not their strength, such as kinesthetic, and auditory.

I think that visual learning is another good way to help students learn. There are different types of learners, so it's important to try and incorporate the different learning styles. I also think that it is a good way for students to organinze information.

I feel that visual learning is great for the classroom. Some students are visual learners and this is a great way for them better understand the lesson being taught in the classroom. This will allow them to learn to the best of their ability.

I think that having this tool in the classroom is a really good idea. It can be used as a class as a whole, in groups, or even by oneself. Some students are visual learners, and I feel that this tool will keep their attention and will help them learn at the same time. I thought the inspiron tool was a very good brainstorming tool that could be used in so many different ways. There is also a kidspiron so smaller kids can get involved too, which is a great idea.

I think you could definitely learn from visual learning. For some people it is harder to understand things by explaining the topic, but if they are doing something visual then they could have a better chance of comprehending it. I also think concept mapping is important because it helps the student brainstorm ideas before they start with their topic. This way they have many different options to expand on their topic.

How could you or your students use concept mapping in the classroom? Do you think visual learning is a valuable way to enhance learning?
