Concept map that lead to another

So what learning might happen if? A good opening question, so what's in a concept? An idea that may or may not work or be of value, yet is because you have made the concept overt. Well that's my interpretation, so I highlighted the word concept and looked it up in the dictionary, which states:

concept |ˈkänˌsept|nounan abstract idea; a general notion : structuralism is a difficult concept | the concept of justice. See note at idea .• a plan or intention; a conception : the center has kept firmly to its originalconcept.• an idea or invention to help sell or publicize a commodity : a newconcept in corporate hospitality.• Philosophy an idea or mental picture of a group or class of objects formed by combining all their aspects.• [as adj. ] (of a car or other vehicle) produced as an experimental model to test the viability of new design features.ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (in the sense [thought, frame of mind, imagination] ): from Latin conceptum ‘something conceived,’ - ‘conceived,’ from concipere (see conceive ).

Thought I'd try to work out a concept map of education, this is in no way finished, and upon starting this mindmap, I decided to allow others to collaborate in/on it. See link to concept map.

 So there in that one location...Our mental pictures are at time messy, as an outsider once described this mindmap, well that's how it is while you are making sense of a concept. We linked using mindmeister several web 2.0 tools and in doing this attempted to underpin various appropriate pedagogical practices. At times I found Mindmeister quite restrictive in the sense that linking and creating new paths is very restricted with this software. 

I would like to thank the others who particapated in building this concept map.

Later I used Prezi to construct and help make sense of concepts visually. I have only now discovered that Prezi has a new function that allows collaboration to occur. Will be trying this out in the future, but not now as the eleventh hour looms closer.

 I'll mention this to my students and perhaps ask them to have a go next week using prezi meeting. I'll be interested in what comes out of it.

How's it?

Your prezi is great Chris .... maybe what you can do is pull together your concept map and the framework mainly how or why you think they complement each other and in what ways if they did. Maybe one of those videos you have done - it will be easier.
