TIE 512 Concept Map

This map organizes the class into five parts: Tools, Teaching Problem Solving, Problem Solving Frameworks, Conceptual Frameworks of Thinking, and Complex Thinking Processes. It goes into detail of tools that we have learned to use in the class.

Also, some general topics are explained in each part. I wanted to keep it general to begin with. All of these parts make up the class on Problem Solving. I like that the concept map I created breaks down the different parts we have learned. It also lists different strategies to use.

My favorite part of this concept map is the the part that describes the tools that can be used for problem solving. This part breaks tools down into software, tech games, curriculum, and strategy tools.

The other part that is helpful is the section on Frameworks. This goes into detail of the different people we have talked about and their strategies. The following people are discussed: Piaget, Bloom, Gardner, Guilford, and Polya. Each person's strategies are generally pointed out in the concept map.
