The second digital tool is a Concept Map. Concept maps can be developed in a variety of ways to visually plot a concept or idea. Johnston (n.d.) states that "Concept mapping is a technique that llows you to understand the relationships between ideas. It allows you to see connections between ideas and connect new ideas to the knowledge you already have." In the concept map displayed, the concepts relating to Multiple Intelligences has been explored as to how different people learn and the characteristics of each of these learning styles.
In a classroom Concept Maps could be used to help students to understand new ideas or make a correlation between ideas which have been learned previously particularly students who are visual learners.
