Graphic Organizers
Tech Tip Tuesday (January 23, 2024)
Graphic organizers have been used for a long time and are a key part of many classrooms. Graphic organizers help organize, simplify, and clarify complex topics that can't be answered in a simple sentence-format response.
Vocabulary, concept mapping, interconnectivity of ideas, and prior knowledge are all parts of the learning process that can be accomplished with graphic organizers, and they can help students develop their own reasoning and sense around a topic.
One of the advantages of using technology with graphic organizers is using things pencils can't accomplish, such as hyperlinking sources, adding images pertinent to the topic, and easy collaboration across groups on the same document.
Check out some of the examples below that you can use to adapt or make your own graphic organizers!
