Using a concept map for children would help those who have a difficult time feeling confident in themselves. Sharing would be easier, everyone could participate and put down everyone's input. Assessment would be collective. As a visual learner everything is right out there for you to see and get the whole picture. Cons would be that it might be confusing for some if they have a hard time taking in the entire picture at a time. Their learning aspect might interfere with that. Concept maps would be great for math problems with several steps or a chapter in Social Studies by getting all the major points and what is under each topic. Concept maps could be used for everyone but would certainly help a child who was a visual learner. This method could also be used on the computer as a reinforcement to make sure the children understand what was important in the lesson.
