One strategy is a type of graphic organizer called a concept definition map. “The use of graphic organizers to organize information sometimes gets a bad rap. However, using these tools involves much more than just putting information into little boxes” (Concept/Definition Maps to Comprehend Curriculum Content, 2011). A concept definition map is a graphic organizer some teachers use in their classroom to develop vocabulary. A concept definition map is an excellent way to develop vocabulary in content
Gestational Diabetes – Concept Map Concept maps are tools that offer a framework for healthcare professionals to analyze and problem solve to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. Concept maps can assist individual healthcare professionals or interprofessional teams to improve patient-centered care. Furthermore, concept maps allow healthcare professionals to communicate and incorporate evidenced-based knowledge and interventions to improve the quality of care in a holistic approach
helpful in understanding the assigned readings and made the readings simpler instead of the text being complex and hard to comprehend. Mind mapping gave a way to express how my mind works: thinking logically while making connections to other related concepts. However, I found that mind mapping is tailored around particular engineering courses. Mind mapping can also be thought to only be helpful for those who are kinesthetic and visual learners. I am a logical learner. My study methods are very unique;
I like the detail of this conceptual map as it is representative of numerous components that can contribute to or impact learning. Being colored coded and providing a key assists one in identifying the varying categories of the components. I do wonder if some of the rays could have been
science of map making and can date back to clay tablets in 2300 B.C. The word cartography is derived from the Greek words “chartes”, meaning sheet of papyrus, and “graphy”, meaning writing. This phrase was composed in the 19th century although the Portuguese scholar Manuel Francisco de Barros e Sousa was in need of a new word that would describe maps, and in-turn, created cartography. By the end of the 19th century the meaning of cartography had changed to the word for map drawing. Dot maps of constellations
can meaningfully comprehend the world. The media use sign systems through newspapers, magazines, television,internet, and the radio etc. The conceptual map of meaning and language are the basis of representation. The conceptual map of meaning, are concepts organised, arranged and classified into complex relations to one another. The conceptual map of meaning although allows you to distinguish your own individual interpretation of the world, at the same time as holding similar views to that of other
Internet-based map services including MapQuest and MapBlast as well as other digital maps. Before analyzing the effects that technology has on mapmaking, it is important to understand some of the history of maps. Hundreds of years ago, maps were drawn by hand and much of the work had to be done manually. In ancient Greece , philosophers came up with the idea of “geography” and that was where the foundations of maps were created. Information about geography is very crucial in designing a map and at
“A map is only useful if it simplifies things.” To what extent does this apply to knowledge?” The title of this essay claims that the usefulness of a map in knowledge is limited to its ability to simplify things. Before I discuss this, it is important to look at the key words used in phrasing the claim. A map can be defined as a clear representation of any physical space or a place in existence. “The area depicted on maps can range from the entire world to just a neighborhood, and most maps are depicted
visual learners. Story mapping could also be helpful to the entire class as it visually organizes a story. Visual learners, including students without a reading comprehension deficit, may benefit from drawing story maps. I can imagine that students in older grades may not want to story map a text because it may seem silly to draw circles to make connections to the story. However, it is an effective strategy that may work regardless of grade level. Paraphrasing may be helpful for an entire class, or
a discipline of diversity, under whose ‘spatial’ umbrella we study and analyze processes, systems, behaviours, and . . . the ways in which the physical and human worlds are laid out, interconnect, and interact” (10). As much as I find the study of maps fascinating, I have realized in this class that the study of geography encompasses so much more than political boundaries. I have learned that it can range from the study of the history of civilization, to settlement patterns, to natural environments
Standards to this paper. The first two standards were under a section called "Seeking the World in Spatial Terms." When you look under this, the first I used was "knows and understands how to use maps, globes and other graphical tools to acquire, process and report information." The second standard was "Uses mental maps to give spatial perspective to the world." Then the second section is called "Places and Region." Under this section it says "Knows and understands the physical and human characteristics of
as making capital investment decisions throughout the semester. Professor Schott has gone through each chapter carefully well making sure that each student grasps each concept before moving on. He has used many tools such as LearnSmart, lectures and homework assignments to make sure that us students have a good idea of the concept before giving us exams. Throughout the course, we have had to do LearnSmart assignments each week over the chapter we are going cover in class. These LearnSmart assignments
brief outline of a coastline’s length would be looking at maps of various scales. The result of this would be smaller scale maps resulting in shorter coastline lengths and larger scale maps, longer coastline lengths. This is called the coastline paradox: a term founded by English mathematician Lewis Fry Richardson and means that the larger the scale of map used, the longer the measured coastline length is. This is because the greater a map is enlarged, the finer the details captured of a place’s border
The Hereford World Map is the world’s oldest surviving map of the world; it was made in 1300, during the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe. There was a wider range of influences on mapping during the later medieval period. With an increase in exploration, Europe began to evolve into an international continent; widespread travel can be seen by the influences of the Islamic world on architecture. While map making in China had flourished in the 11th C, mapping was beginning to evolve in Europe
and available information about the time period. It may also reflect not only the author’s interest in each phase of history, but the assumed interest of the reader. The book contains mostly text, but also quite a few photographs, maps, and statistical charts. The maps are not detailed, only giving a general sense of the area, but the statistical tables are fairly detailed. Overall, though, the photographs are the most helpful device in illustrating and giving additional depth to the text. Section
goal that Jefferson set for the expedition. Lewis and Clark recorded a wealth of scientific knowledge as they noted significant geographic features, made detailed route maps, and recorded their observations of longitude and latitude. Lewis performed most the astronomical duties and Clark charted the course and drafted expedition maps. Jefferson was especially concerned that Lewis and Clark establish good connections with the Indians and carry out linguistic and ethnological studies. Consequently, they
floor. The new theory is called plate tectonics. Soon after the Atlantic Ocean had been mapped, about three hundred years ago, it was noticed that the opposite coasts had similar shapes, but it was not until the middle of the 19th century that accurate maps were published demonstrating that the two coasts could be fitted together quite closely. Some geologists then suggested that the fit of the coasts was not an accident--that the continents were once joined and had subsequently drifted apart. None of
The U.S. had rarely collected a census and there were no reliable maps (Boba, 2001). The first spectral analysis of crime in the United States was done in the 1920’s and 1930’s by sociologists in Chicago (Boba, 2001). A majority of the crime mapping research and practice was done in Europe and the United States by studying
need to accurately enter coordinates in a GIS, the first step is to uniquely define all coordinates on Earth. This means you need a reference frame for your latitude and longitude coordinates. Because the Earth is curved and in GIS we deal with flat map projections we need to accommodate both the curved and flat views of the world. Surveyors have accurately defined locations on Earth. We begin modelling the Earth with an ellipsoid. To be clear, this is different than a geoid which is a measure of mean
discuss these three ideas, and perhaps draw a conclusion at the end on which I feel to be the most valid. The first solution to this question, as I said earlier, is the idea that destiny makes character. As destiny supposedly in the Greek mindset maps out all events before they occur, we can today assume with this logic that perhaps the components that "built" Oedipus' character were caused by fate. We know today that character is determined by biological factors and experience. These biological
