After reading this in The Daily, it was much easier to create my CMap No.2 (not related to connectivism, basically my CMap notes for a staff meeting at school)… Working on my CMap No. 1 I too, like some other participants, wasn’t sure why there are 2 boxes to fill in when I try to link a new concept to the existing one… - one for the linking word showing relation between the two concepts and the other for the new concept.
For No. 2 I followed the suggested steps from the paper:
- construct a Focus Question (the agenda)
- list the key concepts that apply to it: a parking lot (schedule, assessment, class materials…)
- construct a preliminary concept map
- add cross-links between concepts
- revise and dress-up the map
It worked better.
