Week 10: Concept Mapping

They are a great way devlop logical thinking and good study skills. The technique for visualizing these relationships is called concept mapping.

Many times in the sporting world there are presentations shown to display a new idea or show different options of a plan. Concept maps are great visual elements to enhance a presentation. They can provide clarity on a subject and also make the presentation more enjoyable for the audience through the use of visuals. It would be great for detailing the entire structure of an idea or line of argument.
