Concept map (Photo credit: Wikipedia)<\/p><\/div>\n

I have used Cmap on nearly every computer I have owned or worked with. It is a very useful tool and, I think, very under-rated. I used to think it was difficult to work with until I had a conversation about Cmaps at a conference with Cable Green. He said that my issue was with using the connecting verbs between the concepts: while I might feel that the connections might be forced, it might be cause my thinking about the concepts is not complete. This represented a real break-through in my work with concept maps<\/a>. It was also very humbling because I was presenting on concept maps at a conference at the time! Nothing like having to rethink your positions at the last minute, but that is why I go to conferences. \u00a0If you are not familiar with the tool, it is an open source concept mapping tool:<\/p>\n

“Cmap software is a result of research conducted at the Florida Institute\u00a0for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC). It empowers users to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models<\/a> represented as concept maps.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

I am interested in concept mapping as a tool for writing and creating drafts but also for group projects and exploring ideas with others either in the same room or remotely. I have written about concept mapping<\/a> previously and it looks like I need to update that posting!<\/p>\n

I have not seen Cmap for iPad yet. I am looking forwards to working with it. It seems like a natural fit. “CmapTools<\/a> for iPad is the best concept mapping App for the iPad. It is the perfect tool to rapidly construct concept maps and share them via the Cmap Cloud.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
