Using graphic organizers is a wonderful way to be able to tell if students understand a concept. For students to be able to fill in and create a graphic organizer, they must be able to analyze the information or concept that they've been given. Students must dig deeper into a subject to be able to depict the information that they have been given into this organizer. Graphic organizers take the students' learning to a new level. They must put more effort into a concept, they can't just memorize the things that they must be learning.
2. How can you depict student misconceptions of key information?
A graphic organizer makes it much easier to depict the misconceptions that a student may have on a given subject. Because students must dig deeper into the concept that they are researching, any misconceptions may quickly be viewed. Students must put their thoughts into words or pictures, this makes it easier for a teacher to see the thoughts that the students have on a certain topic.
3. How can students capture and transfer brainstorming ideas into written thoughts?
Graphic organizers support graphic, links, text, sounds, and videos. Students could record the thoughts that they have about a subject and embed them into the graphic organizer. This can also help the students to be able to write the thoughts that they have about the subject. Digital graphic organizers also make it much easier for students to rearrange the ideas that they have written without having to erase and rewrite the thought any time they they need to move it.
